As we remain focused on the road ahead, how can tech leaders, brands and partners work together with their customers towards a more sustainable future, while keeping businesses afloat?

We spoke to Chern-Yue Boey, Senior Vice President, Asia-Pacific, SailPoint recently and asked him - why should anyone besides IT managers care about identity and access management (IAM)? Besides an expected CAGR of 15.5% globally with projected market size of USD 32.6 billion by 2028, Boey also pointed out key opportunities that Asia Pacific organizations need to address both from user and provider perspectives.

In this feature, we speak to Dipak Natali, Regional President and Managing Director, Special Olympics Asia Pacific on why diversity and inclusion matters, and how technology has supported their athletes, coaches, volunteers and communities in their message of inclusion.  Volunteerism is something close to my heart.

This cannot be further from reality. Even as nonprofit organizations gain more exposure and reach wider audiences ... Read More
