| Hello and welcome to the Computerworld UK weekly digest. Two iconic UK institutions were in our crosshairs this week, as Mr Digital, Matt Hancock revealed his plans for bringing the national health service (NHS) out of the technological dark ages and London Heathrow is talking up its ability to get more predictive to help frontline staff react to sudden peaks in passenger numbers. Hancock took over as Health and Social Care Secretary back in July and is just the latest politician to vow to modernise the NHS, and we have summarised his proposals, which focus on modern architectures, APIs and interoperability. Elsewhere we had two reporters in San Francisco, one covering the communications API specialist Twilio and its latest product announcements Autopilot and Pay, and the other at GitHub Universe to find out how independent the code repository and developer community will continue to be under impending Microsoft ownership. DATA BREACH OF THE WEEK: Supermarket chain Morrison's is launching an appeal against a High Court decision from 2017 which found it liable for a data breach that affected over 100,000 of its employees. The breach occurred when former employee Andrew Skelton posted sensitive information about his colleagues on the internet in an apparent act of vengeance. ICYMI: We sat down with Box's chief product officer to chat about the cloud storage vendor's future vision, which is increasingly geared towards automated workloads. Thanks for reading and, as always, please do get in touch with feedback, tips, and thoughts. |
