Newsletter January 2016
Welcome to our January newsletter.
Happy New Year from the team at Mutiny. In this issue we have case studies on Endsleigh Insurance and Mamas & Papas. We look at the age-old debate of total cost of ownership (TCO) v. sweating your assets. 2016 will inevitably bring the need for even more non-conventional devices to be connected to networks and we consider the importance of Application Performance Monitoring (APM) for IoT services. We look at the government’s 10mbps broadband pledge and whether this will really hit the mark for Britain. And finally, a date for your diaries, Mutiny is on the road again this year so watch out for announcements on the exhibitions we will be attending.
