Epiq

We are deeply
committed to helping
customers with the increasing
complexity of their
information governance
and other needs.

rotecting data from internal and external threats
Pis one of the most pervasive challenges in today's
global world, and businesses are under intense
pressure to meet the ever-growing regulatory
requirements to do so. Consider that the U.S.
Department of Justice recently announced a renewed
focus on compliance that is designed to motivate
companies to self-report misconduct. That significantly
ratches up the pressure on CIOs to improve their
information governance strategies. More than ever, it is
imperative for organizations of all sizes to secure their
data and implement strategies to adhere to global
regulations.
This is where Epiq and its partnership with Microsoft
can create transformational change for CIOs and their
organizations. Epiq, a global technology-enabled
services leader to the legal industry and corporations,
manages large-scale and increasingly complex tasks to
execute the consistent, efficient data governance, and
other compliance strategies that organizations need to
mitigate risk.
Epiq provides a broad range of advisory and
technology-enabled operational services for Microsoft
Purview, which helps enterprises to plan, execute, and
manage information governance strategies. Whether
an organization is just beginning to consider
information governance or has a mature program,
Epiq can add value through a broad portfolio of
services. Epiq combines deep legal knowledge with
information governance expertise to help organizations
meet compliance and eDiscovery requirements while
utilizing Microsoft Purview Compliance, which
safeguards all an organization's data across platforms,
applications, and clouds with comprehensive solutions

management, and compliance.
Epiq's provides advisory and deployment services for
Microsoft Purview Information Protection, Insider Risk
Management, Data Loss Prevention, Microsoft
Information Governance, Communication Compliance,
Microsoft Defender for Cloud and eDiscovery. Epiq has
been a Microsoft Partner since 2018.
"One of our defining values at Epiq is 'Relentless Service,'
and our partnership with Microsoft is an example of that,'"
said Paul Vasquez, Senior Director, Strategic Alliances at
Epiq. "We are deeply committed to helping customers with
the increasing complexity of their information governance
practices and risk management strategies.”
Empowering compliance in the modern corporate
landscape
As CIOs know, data is becoming more difficult to corral,
even as the pressures to do so increase. With many
employees continuing to work from home, the chances
of uncontrolled data increases. Employees are also
utilizing more and different communications channels,
such as Microsoft Teams and Slack. Those charged with
overseeing corporate information must ensure they are
in the strongest possible position to understand these
modern challenges and respond to the ever-changing
landscape of global regulatory requirements. To do this,
forward-looking corporations are harnessing the power
of Epiq's technology and expertise, which works
seamlessly with Microsoft tools, to get a better
understanding of their data, where it is, and how to
protect it, for both on premise and data in the cloud.
Epiq's work with Microsoft has helped it rise to the top

help to lead their organizations. Yet many companies
experience gaps where new tools, talent, and process

compliance. This is an area where the partnership
between Epiq and Microsoft can transform how

Emerging Trends

Transformation
Solutions
D
igital transformation has come a long way in the
past few years. Companies worldwide are
leveraging the power of emerging technologies
such as artiﬁcial intelligence (AI), data analytics, cloud
computing, and automation to boost efﬁciency and
productivity in their operations.
As the world becomes more reliant on technology, it
comes with a shift in consumer demand and business
expectations. Consumer behavior and preferences
continue to change in response to new advancements
in technology, and businesses are expected to adapt
and stay ahead of the curve. In this article, we'll explore
some of the emerging trends in digital transformation
solutions that businesses need to keep an eye on.
AI-Powered Predictive Analytics
The AI revolution has created opportunities to leverage
data in unprecedented ways. Applications and
platforms that use AI-powered predictive analytics can
help businesses gain insights into consumer behavior,
market trends, and business performance, among other
aspects. Predictive analytics can help businesses take
advantage of previously inaccessible insights to make
data-informed decisions that drive business growth.

Hyper automation
Hyper automation is an emerging trend that combines
multiple automation technologies, such as robotic
process automation and artificial intelligence, to
complete complex tasks faster, more efficiently, and
with greater accuracy. Hyper automation is a vital tool
for businesses that want to reduce manual labor,
augment their operations with AI, and improve
efficiency.
Edge Computing
The demand for edge computing continues to grow,
especially with the increase in IoT devices. Edge
computing is a distributed computing infrastructure
that moves computing closer to the source of data
generation, reducing the need for centralized data
storage and management.
Edge computing offers many benefits, such as faster
decision-making, reduced latency, and enhanced
reliability. It is an increasingly popular solution for
businesses that need real-time data processing at the
edge, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and energy
industries.
Cloud Migration
The shift to cloud-based solutions has been ongoing for
many years, and it shows no sign of slowing down. The
cloud offers significant advantages over traditional on-
premise solutions, such as scalability, cost-
effectiveness, flexibility, and accessibility.
Cloud migration is a critical initiative for businesses
seeking to modernize and optimize their operations.
However, it is important to remember that cloud
migration is not a one-and-done solution. Businesses
must be prepared to rethink their IT strategies
continually to ensure they are taking advantage of the
latest trends and innovations.
Blockchain
Blockchain technology is gaining momentum in
business operations as it offers a secure, decentralized,
and immutable way to store and manage data.
Blockchain can be a valuable solution for businesses
that rely on shared data and transactions as it
eliminates the need for intermediaries, reduces the risk
of fraud, and boosts transparency.
Several industries, such as finance, healthcare, and
supply chain management, have already started
exploring blockchain technology. As businesses
continue to seek more secure and transparent
solutions, blockchain is expected to play an increasingly
important role in digital transformation.
Human-AI Collaboration
Human-AI collaboration is an emerging trend that
involves combining human intelligence with machine
learning and artificial intelligence. This approach
leverages the strengths of both humans and machines
to solve complex problems, make better decisions, and
accelerate growth.
The goal of human-AI collaboration is not to replace
humans with machines but to find a way for the two to
work together effectively. This collaboration can help
businesses achieve more significant success in areas
such as customer service, marketing, and product
development.
Conclusion
Digital transformation solutions play a vital role in
helping businesses adapt to the ever-changing
landscape of technology. Emerging trends such as AI-
powered predictive analytics, hyper-automation, edge
computing, cloud migration, blockchain, and human-AI
collaboration offer opportunities for companies to
drive innovation, optimize operations, and improve
customer experiences.
To stay ahead of the competition, businesses must
embrace these trends and continually seek new
opportunities to leverage the latest technologies in
their operations. By doing so, they will be better
prepared to meet the challenges of a digital world and
take advantage of the opportunities presented by
digital transformation.

Solid
Services that Ensure
Exponential Growth
Daniel Avinir
CEO & Visionary
Solid Systems
Our mission is to
improve people’s lives
through IT, helping businesses to
grow and make more money, and
helping their humans (and ours) to
live their best lives.
20

S
ystems for thriving – that is what the company
Solid Systems helps other businesses build
rather than just providing fixes as problems
emerge. The name is a succinct justification for how it
enables businesses for strategic and fiscal growth.
However, the biggest differentiator of Solid Systems in
the Managed IT Services sector is ironically, the human
factor. There is a saying within the company, “We’re
human, not robots,” exemplifying the customer-
centricity with which the company employees operate,
also calling themselves ‘business enablers.’
Daniel Avinir is the CEO & Visionary and Head of
Client Success at Solid Systems. He has an insatiable
curiosity for everything tech, but he is really passionate
about the impact of technology on businesses. He
believes in empowering people to work in increasingly
flexible and productive ways, unlocking collaboration
potential, and leading cultural change in the present
world.
Daniel, in an exclusive interview with CIOLook, shares
his passion for enabling business growth with
technology, empowering people in accelerating their
learning and career, and his plans for global expansion
for Solid Systems.
Below are the highlights of the interview:
Please give us a brief overview of Solid Systems, its
mission, and the key aspects of its strong foothold in
the industry.
Solid Systems was started in 2003 with the aim of being
every company’s go-to IT team. There was no problem
too big or too small for us to help with. And over the
past 20 years in business, some things have changed,
and some have stayed the same.
Our mission is to improve people’s lives through IT,
helping businesses to grow and make more money, and
helping their humans (and ours) to live their best lives.
The best way we’ve found to do this is through
exceptional human customer experiences, and through
Managed IT services in particular.
What was the initial idea behind the inception of Solid
Systems?
I’ll be honest – we wanted to make money. Isn’t that the
goal behind starting any business? But we wanted to
see other companies making money too, and we knew
that the right technology could help them do just that.
My partner, Michael Claxton, and I had good minds for
IT, and we found like-minded humans to help us on our
journey of finding the right technologies for the
companies that worked with us, that saw them
embracing tech and growing their businesses.
Describe your top-notch offerings that address the
needs of your customers.
As the head of Global Sales, I often speak to companies
who are looking for more from their IT partner. So many
IT companies out there offer troubleshooting and
support, and that’s definitely part of what we do, but
the crux of our solutions, the differentiating factor, is
the strategic technology planning and IT project
management that forms part and parcel of our
Managed IT services. It’s about so much more than just
fixing problems when they arise. It’s about making sure
that the right tech is in place to grow businesses and
make sure that problems don’t come up at all because
you’re always one step ahead of them.
What makes your company a preferred choice among
your clientele over other competitors?
A large part of it is our strategic planning and the way
that we work with businesses to help them grow and
make more money. But I think what really sets us apart
are our humans. We have this saying – “We’re human,
not robots,” – and it’s all about providing the kind of
exceptional customer service where you know the
other person at the end of the line cares about what
you need and wants to see you succeed. We want to
find real solutions that will see your company thriving,
not just quick fixes that will let us move on to the next
customer.
What are the roadblocks that your company faces in
the ever-changing landscape of the business world?
The working world is changing every day, and we’re
trying to stay on top of that ourselves and help our
clients do the same. It’s not enough anymore to have an
office space and expect your teams to come in every
single day. But at the same time, working from home,
with all its benefits in terms of productivity and
efficiency, makes it difficult for humans to connect and
21

for businesses to foster a great company culture.
We need to be taking a hybrid approach to working,
and technologies like Microsoft’s Modern Workplace
help us to do just that. But it’s a learning curve that
we’re still adjusting to and that we’re trying to help the
companies that work with us to embrace.
Describe the values that drive your organization.
We want to see people living their best lives, and we
believe that our Managed IT Services do just that. What
does living your best life mean? For our clients, it means
having the time to focus on their business goals without
having to stress about their tech. It means
implementing solutions (like Microsoft 365) that see
their teams being more productive and getting things
done as efficiently as possible.
Because when you’re more focused, when you’re
getting work done effectively without having to worry
about your technology working, you find yourself with
more time to do the things that you love with the
people you love without having to stress about work.
And this applies to the humans in our business too. We
want them to be proud of the work that they do and to
have more time to switch off from work and connect
with their families, friends, and colleagues.
In what ways have you or your company contributed
to the community?
I think one of the biggest contributions that we make is
through our Human Acceleration Program. We don’t
believe that you need to have a Comp Sci degree to be
an excellent IT Professional. Which is why we put a lot
of effort into training up humans who have an
inquisitive mind and an interest in technology. We
especially focus on those who may not have had
experience or access to technologies in their past but
who want to learn more, grow as humans, and help
other businesses to grow.
What are your future aspirations? Where do you see
your company in the next five years?
We see ourselves going global over the next few years,
and we’re already taking steps to make that goal a
reality. Solid Systems may have started in South Africa,
and South Africa will always be part of who we are as a
22

company. Still, over the past few months, we’ve been
focusing our efforts internationally to the point where
I’ve actually moved to the UK.
We’ve already been working with some UK companies
over the last few years, and we’ve seen the huge impact
that we’ve had for them, especially when compared to
the other IT companies they’ve worked with in the past.
Which has given us the confidence we need to shift our
focus and take on the challenge of becoming a global
name.
Provide a few customer/client testimonials that
rightly exhibit your company's expertise in the
market.
“Using Solid Systems has been a game-changer for us. Since
implementing their solutions, productivity and efficiency
have been through the roof.”
– Skillcraft
“You’ve been delivering excellent service to our company for
a while now, and your swift response to our tickets reflects
your willingness to improve service delivery through these
difficult times. Your excellent turnaround time has allowed
us to continue with our work faster, thereby improving our
service levels.”
– Cape Finance
“Working with Solid Systems improved my productivity
because I can hand all that over, and I don’t really have to
manage that on a day-to-day basis. So, it definitely has
improved my life.”
– Portfolio Metrix
“Solid Systems are efficient and handle issues professionally.
They made a special effort to accommodate fixing my issue
based on my availability and ensured that there was as little
disruption to my working day.”
– Aurik.

I
n today's digital age, businesses must adopt
technology to stay competitive and improve
efficiency. However, implementing and managing
technology can be complex and time-consuming. This is
where Microsoft Solution Providers come in. They
specialize in providing technology solutions based on
Microsoft technologies and can help businesses
integrate technology seamlessly into their operations.
In this article, we will discuss the benefits of integrating
technology with Microsoft Solution Providers and how
it can help businesses achieve their goals.
Increased Efficiency
Integrating technology with Microsoft Solution
Providers can help businesses increase efficiency. For
example, businesses can integrate their accounting
systems with Microsoft Dynamics 365 to automate
financial processes, reducing the time and effort
required for manual tasks. This approach can help
businesses streamline their operations, improve
productivity, and reduce costs.
Improved Collaboration
Technology integration with Microsoft Solution
Providers can improve collaboration between
employees and departments. For example, businesses
can use Microsoft Teams to collaborate on projects,
share files, and communicate in real-time. This
approach can help businesses improve communication,
increase transparency, and ensure that everyone is on
the same page.
Better Customer Experience
Providers can help businesses provide better customer
experiences. For example, businesses can use Microsoft
Dynamics 365 to manage customer relationships, track
customer interactions, and provide personalized
service. This approach can help businesses build
stronger customer relationships, increase customer
satisfaction, and improve retention rates.
Enhanced Security
Providers can enhance security. For example,
businesses can use Microsoft Azure to store and
manage data securely in the cloud, reducing the risk of
data breaches. This approach can help businesses
protect sensitive data, comply with regulatory
requirements, and ensure business continuity.
Increased Flexibility
Providers can increase flexibility. For example,
businesses can use Microsoft Power Platform to build
custom solutions and automate processes without
writing code. This approach can help businesses
respond quickly to changing market conditions,
customer demands, and business requirements.
Better Data Management
Providers can help businesses manage data more
effectively. For example, businesses can use Microsoft
Power BI to visualize and analyze data, providing
insights that can inform business decisions. This
approach can help businesses identify opportunities,
improve performance, and drive growth.
Conclusion
Providers can help businesses improve efficiency,
collaboration, customer experience, security, flexibility,
and data management. Working with a Microsoft
Solution Provider can help businesses implement and
manage technology seamlessly, ensuring that it delivers

to partner with a Microsoft Solution Provider to stay

Innovations and Developments
T
he business arena today is a dynamic and ever-
changing environment, with advances in
technology and globalization driving constant
innovation, growth and competition. In the past few
decades, the world has witnessed unparalleled
advancements in the field of global business, which
have fundamentally changed the way firms operate,
compete and interact with one another. Understanding
these advancements is crucial for businesses that wish
to thrive in today's globally integrated economy.
Transcending the Facets
One of the most significant advancements in the global
business arena is the emergence of the internet and e-
commerce. The advent of the worldwide web
revolutionized the way businesses communicate,
operate, and market their products and services,
making it easier and more cost-effective to reach
customers around the world. Today, businesses can set
30

31

up virtual stores and sell products to consumers from
any corner of the globe thanks to the seamless
integration of payment gateways, logistics networks,
and online marketplaces.
The rise of social media has also had a major impact on
how businesses operate in the global marketplace.
Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,
and Instagram have given companies a powerful tool
for building a strong online presence, engaging with
customers, and promoting their products and services.
Social media marketing has become an essential
component of any modern business strategy, allowing
firms to reach out to a worldwide audience in a cost-
efficient and targeted way.
Enriching Core Aspects
Another significant advancement in the global business
arena has been the growth of international trade and
investment. Advances in transportation and
communication technologies, along with the lowering
of trade barriers, have made it easier for businesses to
expand their operations to new markets and to
leverage the benefits of global supply chains. Many
businesses have set up strategic alliances, joint
ventures, and mergers and acquisitions with foreign
firms, enabling them to access new technologies and
knowledge, expand their customer base, and diversify
their revenue streams.
In the past, global business was often seen as a zero-
sum game, with countries and firms competing
aggressively for market share and resources. However,
in recent years, there has been a growing recognition
that global cooperation and collaboration are essential
to addressing some of the world's most pressing
challenges, such as climate change, poverty, and
inequality. Businesses are increasingly expected to take
responsibility for their social and environmental
impacts, and to work with governments, civil society,
and other stakeholders to achieve common goals.
Magnificent Developments
The advancement of technology has also led to
increased competition in the global business arena.
Entrepreneurial individuals can leverage technology
and digital platforms to launch new businesses,
products and services, and reach a global audience.
The competition is not limited to traditional businesses
but also from startups, micro multinationals, mom-and-
pop industries, and small local businesses that have
leveraged technology to level the playing field with
multinational corporations on the global scale.
Towards the Horizons of Success
In conclusion, understanding the advancements in the
global business arena is essential for any business
looking to succeed in today's globally integrated
economy.
Companies must be ready to adapt and innovate in
response to emerging trends and technologies, to
collaborate with other businesses, governments and
their stakeholders, and to take responsibility for their
social and environmental impacts. By embracing a
global perspective and staying up-to-date with the
latest advancements, businesses can increase their
chances of creating long-term sustainable growth and
success.
