This panel will be led by Harry (who has actually filled out a GDPR compliance document – OMG!) and we’re bringing back the ever popular Mike Semel (Mr. HIPAA).
We’re back with another Azure lecture with a significant twist. It’s all about “doing it” as we’ve used past lectures to set the strategic table. Time to eat Azure.
