EDITOR’S NOTE
W
elcome to the latest edition of
Intelligent CIO Europe where
this month, the Global CIO
and COO at DHL Supply Chain graces the
cover. Markus Voss talks to us about how
the company is so successful in offering
its customers seamless end-to-end supply
chain solutions.
Voss predicts how developments in
automation technologies and digitalisation
processes are set to transform the logistics
industry. He also discusses the driving
factors he believes are behind the successful
progression of Europe’s technology
landscape, as well as how the company
operates with a unique selling point in order
to remain competitive.
Also, in this month’s edition, we investigate
how the rules and regulations behind stricter
data management can cause implications
for enterprises that rely on the sharing
of data to operate effectively. The South
Yorkshire Fire and Rescue team is one such
example that relies on leveraging data to
improve people’s lives.
The organisation found a solution to its
problem with the help of SPINR, an IT
provider that makes the sharing of data
easier. The South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue

team is now able to integrate its internal
systems, which could potentially contribute
towards its Digital Transformation journey. Director, Optiv; and Tim Orchard, Managing
Director, F-Secure Countercept; who offer their
opinions in answer to the question.
Digital Transformation is the subject of
discussion between many IT leaders and
for good reason. We take a look at the
evolving technology landscape across
Switzerland for this month’s ‘Country Focus’
and how 5G in particular is shaping the
country’s digitisation process. Switzerland
is undoubtedly set to become a major
technology hub. Our regular ‘Intelligent Brands’ section takes
a look at hot topics trending in the cabling,
cloud, data centres, security, green, mobile,
and software industries.
Sanjiv Gossain, Cognizant’s Head of Digital
Business, Europe, contributes to this month’s
‘Final Word’ where he discusses the five
converging forces that he believes are
driving technical evolution. He discusses the
construction of a new technological future
and offers business leaders advice about
how to remain competitive. I hope you enjoy this edition and if you are

As security remains a challenge for
enterprises attempting to protect their
businesses from detrimental cyberattacks,
we asked industry experts how a poor
cybersecurity approach can damage a
company’s reputation.
To round off this edition, we ‘Get To Know’
Justyn Goodenough, International Area VP
at Unravel Data, who tells us how he likes to
relax and unwind outside the office.
