Timestamp at IDC Directions 2023

Timestamp proudly assumed the role of Principal Partner at IDC Directions 2023, the largest independent IT event in the country, dedicated to discussing and shaping the forthcoming digital trends and crucial forecasts set to drive the ICT market.

Representing Timestamp was Pedro Ferreira, Board Member and Managing Partner, who participated in the Digital Leader Panel that delved into the theme of "(Multi) Competence Centers As a Service." When asked about the industry's trajectory towards these multidisciplinary competence centers offered as a service, Pedro Ferreira left no room for doubt: "The Cloud transition is inevitable."

Furthermore, he highlighted that the path to effective multi-cloud project management is not without its complexities, mainly due to the need for a profound cultural shift within internal and partner teams. Pedro Ferreira explained, "For organizations to wholeheartedly embrace the Cloud, they must cultivate an internal culture that prioritizes proactive Cloud management and fosters strong relationships with Cloud providers. This involves establishing a well-defined roadmap, collaborating with technology partners to strategically leverage the future."

However, even though the transition from on-premise to cloud or multi-cloud systems hasn't become the industry standard, the undeniable advantages of this shift are becoming increasingly visible. Pedro Ferreira elaborated on how Timestamp, particularly in the realm of Analytics, can now seamlessly handle vast datasets residing in various Clouds, courtesy of advanced Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence models. These processes can now operate in real-time, often taking less than an hour, a stark contrast to the 25-hour timelines of the recent past.
