So, May 25 was the date that General Data Protection Regulation – better known as GDPR – came into force.

With just a month to go until GDPR comes into force, it will hardly come as a surprise that this was one of the hottest topics at IT Nation Europe when it came to London this month (April).

With around 400 managed service providers and IT vendors from across the globe gathering in the capital, it’s the largest conference for companies that sell, service and support technology in Europe.

GDPR has implications for all businesses, but of course is particularly relevant for our own sector.

At Clark IT we like to talk business, not just geek speak.

Yes, we can be nerdy computer buffs like you might find in the IT Crowd, waffling on about data mining, hyperconvergence, blockchain and VR.  And yes, beards and glasses are on trend among the males in our offices.

We realise good communication is essential to understand and be prepared for the fast-paced and ever-changing world of IT.
