John Mazotis, CIO at Corsearch, shares the strategic thinking, implementation challenges, and measurable wins from their three-month migration journey. Corsearch, a leader in IP services since 1949, recently completed a comprehensive migration from what Mazotis calls their "legacy" Microsoft environment to a modern workspace powered by Google and Slack. The decision wasn't taken lightly, given that the company operates globally and relies heavily on collaboration tools for its trademark services and brand protection operations.

The shift to remote work has changed how businesses manage their IT infrastructure, with virtual desktop solutions becoming essential for many organisations. As companies expand, they often find themselves at a crossroads when evaluating remote desktop technologies. Citrix, once the leading player in this space, now faces stiff competition from alternatives that offer similar functionality at different price points and with varying deployment models.

It was a phenomenon that Nilles, a U.S. Air Force veteran turned NASA consultant, dubbed the "telecommunications-transportation tradeoff." Viewing remote work as a potential substitute for commuting, Nilles sought to gauge telework's effectiveness by partnering with a major national insurance company (whose name he still can't divulge for legal reasons). A group of employees worked from local centers equipped with "minicomputers" that transferred data to the company's mainframe. In the 1974 pilot study, Nilles concluded that this approach resulted in higher productivity and reduced turnover.

When the world shut down in 2020, Sam Anthony lost the freewheeling life she'd built - full-time house-sitting, stringing together gigs while moving from country to country and city to city. She ended up in Buffalo, New York, a place where she'd gone to high school and sworn never to return. There, despite her initial reluctance, she regrouped, crashing in a student apartment and finding a remote writing job for a travel site.

A decision on the 1 billion scheme was expected from the City of London Corporation by the end of this year though this has been pushed back into 2026 after further details were added to the application. A spokesperson for Network Rail said they remain committed to our proposals and the additional detail submitted will be available to view on the Planning Register.

The demands for tech talent are growing so fast due to AI that no existing visa program can be a standalone solution. Globally, three of four IT employers say they lack the tech talent they need, and the outlook will only get more dire as AI creates a demand for high-skilled specialists like data engineers, senior architects, and agentic orchestrators.

When every role in a business is mission-critical, having the right people in the right seats can be transformative. It's incredibly rewarding to see our clients grow faster, operate more efficiently, and retain customers longer-all because they have the talent they need to win.

Today's hostels are far more than the backpacker crash pads of old. They range from design-led boutique stays to social hubs where remote workers and travelers gather over coffee or rooftop yoga. Whether you're planning a solo trip, traveling with friends, or simply looking to stretch your budget without sacrificing experience, hostels can offer a unique mix of affordability, comfort, and community.

More than five years into the homeworking revolution, a narrative seems to have emerged - of employees being hauled back to the office against their will. This contrasts with what COVID taught us: that people can work flexibly, benefit from not commuting, and even work for employers based far from their home - expanding the labour pool for employers. In fact, both of these arguments are oversimplifications.
