What are Modern Applications?

This is another post that’s a recycled email, one which started out with the title: ‘Our share of the cloud shared responsibility model (and the need for application intimacy)’ The original email came from a number of discussions in the run up to the DXC merger, and I must thank many of my CTO and […]

The DXC Blogs – outro
I just had to Google ‘outro‘ to confirm it’s actually a word (as the Chrome spellcheck thinks not). Yesterday marked the end of the back catalogue of posts that I’d originally made on C3, so it’s back to normal service here on the blog. If you’d like a list for this series of posts then […]
