Season’s Greetings to You and Yours!

2024 has been the year of moving more data, faster – and helping businesses like yours save big. We launched our usage-based pricing model, saving customers up to 99.4% on data transfer costs while continuing to improve performance and streamline workflows.

Data collaboration unlocked

At Matatika Towers, we have been locked away in the “upstairs upstairs” feverishly developing our cloud native data collaboration platform. I know we are all holding out for a bit of good news right now, which is why we are excited to announce the Matatika BETA programme.

A private matter

Zoom is under scrutiny this week as people all over the world flock to their service for virtual meetings. Quite a few people have been caught out by the way meeting minutes are captured – all private chats are recorded into the meeting minutes. Potentially embarrassing or job threatening of course. But the issues don’t stop there.

Personal Security Plan

Right now, lots of people are telling me how much more time they have. No travelling, no tedious group meetings – we finally have time to think! It’s a great time to review your personal approach to security.

How would you spend a year in isolation?

Imagine what we could achieve! Sir Isaac Newton famously spent a year ‘working from home’ in 1665 when the Bubonic Plague shut down Cambridge University; in that time, he invented calculus and had the insights that lead to his law of universal gravitation. Not too shabby really.

Could anyone predict the future of Thomas Cook?

Our team at Matatika were asked to think about how the unexpected collapse of Monarch and Thomas Cook could be predicted. Like many people we meet, our prospect has the feeling there is huge value in their data, if only they could get access to it and ask the right questions. Trouble is, the experts with the knowledge and questions often don’t have access to the data they need.
