"From our perspective as suppliers, we're desperately trying to understand as much as we can about the client side, and that varies hugely by client. As you know, some clients share everything with us, some are very careful about what they share with us. And so we're always trying to fill in the gaps to understand what the client really needs as opposed to perhaps what we've been asked for in the last week. So it's a strange dance between the two, but it really is why we see again and again at Endava why clients who engage with us in a genuine partnership get so much more out of us than treating us as somebody that they have a contract with."

Our data footprint is increasing by the minute. But what happens with our personal information once we've shared it with different companies? Is it safe to share it? And if so, is it truly kept securely? Tune in to hear security enthusiast and expert Greg Van der Gaast share his thoughts on the subject. Greg: The bigger the chain gets, whether it's one company with just a sheer scale of factors and people and locations or smaller companies that are reliant on other companies where you get a chain of dependencies, the bigger it gets, the more difficult it is to actually protect data, especially when people are constantly pushing to drive value out of data. Data science is an incredible thing and we use it to drive business. We try to find ways of making money out of data. And every day we use Google, we do searches. We watch videos. We don't have to pay for any of this stuff, and yet people are making a killing off of it. It's like we're getting free stuff and yet someone's earning money off giving it to us. It's only when you do that, the expression that if you're not paying for it, you are the product. And you have to be aware of that. You are the product. You're selling a part of yourself to get this service, to get this convenience. And that's just the equation. There's no way around it. And that's it.
