TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
We are on the 3rd episode of the FSO Spotlight Roundtable series with our European guests. IT solution experts from Sweden, Germany, and Turkey are here to unpack the regional IT realities of Europe: how data sovereignty laws, security concerns, energy costs, and organizational silos are shaping IT operations across the region.
While cloud adoption is accelerating globally, Europe presents a more nuanced adoption dynamics. Enterprises are navigating hybrid environments, regulatory ambiguity, and increasing pressure on cost and efficiency, while still trying to modernize their IT operations with observability and AIOps.
Guests:
- Erik, Product Manager, Inuit, Sweden
- Alina Hentien, Solutions Consultant, MicroNova, Germany
- Christian Schneegans, Head of Support & Consulting, MicroNova, Germany
- Tolga Özbarutçu, Solutions Architect, Vitel A.Ş., Turkey
Host: Sharon Abraham Ratna, Senior Solutions Expert, ManageEngine
