Integrate 2017 in review
"The body of a corporate event, with the heart and soul of a community group meeting." I think this is the best way I can describe the feeling of attending the 2017 edition of Integrate.

No other government department had decided to implement a common framework for cyber security, let alone define a common language to be used. This was a bit of a first.

Realising the benefits of data lakes
A data lake is a repository for storing vast amounts of raw, streaming or unstructured data. With a data lake, organizations can store data from multiple sources, without having to model it first. The promise is great - data lakes, when executed well, can provide input into and receive real-time updates from operational applications, as well as providing true, consistent, actionable insights to business users.
