The current situation in the light of the impact of COVID-19 on the world is unprecedented. While the first priority should remain people’s health and well-being, there are also many challenges to face regarding the economic impact, business continuity and security.
Sharing knowledge is within Xebia’s DNA. And during these challenging times, it is even more important to give something away in order to achieve a bigger goal. That is why we are setting up a series of free webinars to share best practices and give concrete guidelines as an answer to current business questions.
