| This week started with a bang, as over the weekend news broke that IBM was boosting its cloud credentials (make that hybrid cloud) by making a mega acquisition, paying $33 billion for the enterprise Linux company Red Hat. That was followed on Monday by the chancellor's Autumn budget, which had big tech firms in its crosshairs. We also wrote about how the Wall Street Journal powers its dynamic paywall using a wealth of customer data, and how adult beverage giant AB InBev is unifying its data using tools from vendor Talend. Data breach of the week: We had a European double header this week, as news broke of another data breach at FIFA and Eurostar told all of its customers to change their passwords. ICYMI: Late last week we dived into the latest Current Account Switch Service numbers, which gave some insight into the popularity of digital-only challenger banks for the first time, as well as how HSBC and Nationwide are doing the best and, unsurprisingly, TSB is losing customers after its recent IT troubles. |
