As gas prices soar due to restrictions on both domestic oil and imports from oil-producing countries, we’ve shifted our collective focus to the energy sector. It’s increasingly apparent that the global oil and natural gas supply chain sits in a delicate balance—supply chain disruptions in one country can affect gas and oil prices around the world. If a top oil-producing nation ramps down natural gas production or distribution, additional supply must come from another nation.

Its implementation coupled with a global pandemic has kickstarted a rush to enact more laws surrounding data privacy.

The move to digital technologies has been taking place at a meteoric pace. Many businesses are forced into a position, where they must either deploy new solutions they may not be ready for or risk falling behind the competition. In their efforts to rapidly improve customer experience, enhance internal processes, capitalize on market opportunities, or optimize other operational processes, they often end up taking a more makeshift approach to digital transformation.
