The pace of innovation in the cloud space is breathtaking. Gone are the days when the cloud was just about virtual machines and storage; today, it is a dynamic ecosystem, constantly introducing features that are fundamentally transforming how businesses operate, from the smallest start-ups to the largest enterprises. Preegan Chetty, Azure product manager at First Distribution, returns to TechCentral's TCS+ to discuss some of the latest and most exciting features available in the Azure cloud environment and how businesses are leveraging those capabilities to facilitate growth. This is the third in a series of three episodes with Chetty and First Distribution. Episode one covered cloud cost optimisation in Azure and episode two looked at how businesses can manage the complexities of data residency in hybrid cloud environments. In this episode, Chetty delves into: • The benefits cloud-based IT environments offer over on-prem installations and how they help companies experiment and adopt new technologies faster; • How businesses can ensure they are able to keep pace with new technologies so they are not left behind; • How South African businesses are using the newest AI tools in Azure to build new products and services; • How to approach responsible AI development in the cloud; • How cloud AI tools can help with code modernisation; • How small businesses can take advantage of cloud technology; and • Emerging cloud technologies to keep an eye on. This discussion is not to be missed. TechCentral

Organisations are flocking to the cloud for its agility, scalability and innovation potential. But while the cloud promises big things, it also presents a set of financial challenges. Many businesses find their cloud bills spiralling out of control, eroding the very benefits they sought in the first place. In this episode of TechCentral's TCS+, Preegan Chetty, Microsoft Azure product manager at First Distribution, discusses the tools Azure provides for effective cost management and how businesses can take advantage of them to get the most out their cloud deployments without breaking the bank. Chetty delves into: • Some of the common pitfalls or hidden costs that organisations encounter when moving their workloads into the cloud and how to mitigate against these; • The different pricing models available in Azure and how organisations can leverage them; • What FinOps is and how businesses can benefit from it; • How organisational KPIs can be leveraged to manage cloud spending effectively; • How tagging can aid in cost centre management; • How to manage costs in more complex hybrid cloud environments; and • The AI tools Azure offers to aid businesses in managing their costs.

"Are we entitled to have our jobs for a lifetime in the AI age?" That's the question this week's episode of Techcetra opens with, as Shouvik Das and Leslie D'Monte talks about the growing instability in Big Tech employment. They examine the troubling pattern of layoffs at firms like Microsoft and Google. Is AI genuinely reshaping work, or simply replacing people under the guise of innovation? They explore how job cuts are disproportionately affecting Indian professionals in the U.S., the emotional toll of sudden unemployment, and whether private companies are doing enough to retrain talent instead of replacing it. The episode also rockets literally into another domain of innovation. With Honda testing a reusable rocket, the hosts discuss what this signals in a SpaceX-dominated world, and how India's own players like Skyroot and Agnikul are pushing frugal innovation in aerospace. While reusability remains a nascent ambition, the bigger question raised is about India's underwhelming R&D budgets even in tech giants like TCS and how that gap might hold back long-term progress in both tech and space.

Many municipalities in South Africa are struggling to maintain a reliable supply of clean water to households and industries. Thankfully, technology is here to help. In this episode of TechCentral's TCS+, Helen Hulett, newly appointed chief sustainability officer at geospatial information science specialist AfriGIS, tells Duncan McLeod about the Resolve Water project that she leads and how she and her team are working with businesses and municipalities to try to address a problem that has reached crisis levels in some parts of the country. AfriGIS's technology is able to have a real-world impact on this crisis, according to Hulett, who specialises in industrial water risk, water-related governance and social issues, and sustainability. Hulett, who has consulted with leading companies on the topic – they include the likes of Coca-Cola, Illovo Sugar Africa, Sappi, Aspen Pharmacare and Sasol – said AfriGIS offers advanced mapping and data analytics tools to address water scarcity, improve resource management and support businesses in need. In this episode of TCS+, Hulett also unpacks: • Her background and why she took the role of chief sustainability officer at AfriGIS; • What the field of geospatial information science involves and why it makes sense to apply it to this crisis; • AfriGIS's involvement in the Resolve Water project; • How serious the water crisis really is in South Africa and what it will take to address it; • The impact of the Resolve Water project so far, and how it's using GIS technology to achieve its goals – including mapping, real-time data analytics and collaborative partnerships; and • The role of artificial intelligence. The interview with Hulett, who is passionate about the topic of water security in South Africa, is not to be missed. TechCentral

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has expanded its two-decade-long strategic partnership with Virgin Atlantic, a premium long-haul UK airline, to accelerate its digital transformation journey. Under this renewed seven-year agreement, the two organisations will deepen their collaboration to strengthen the technological foundations of Virgin Atlantic, enable modern airline retailing, deliver greater operational resilience, and enhance customer experience. As part of this long-term engagement, TCS, which operates a Global Delivery Centre in Ireland, will modernise Virgin Atlantic's core technology operations by implementing a cloud-first, AI-powered digital core that enhances business agility, improves the resilience of systems, and allows for a higher scale of operations. TCS will implement a modern, AI-powered technology estate that will unify the airline's technology assets and deploy an advanced Technology Command Centre. This will serve as the nerve centre for transforming Virgin Atlantic's technology operations. Virgin Atlantic's Technology Command Centre, co-developed with TCS, will provide real-time operational insights to enhance decision making, streamline technology operations and empower front-line staff with up-to-date, contextual data. This will support the elevation of both customer and crew experiences, enabling efficient, smarter and more sustainable journeys, and a superior hyper-personalised customer experience across every touchpoint of airline travel. Oli Byers, Chief Financial Officer, Virgin Atlantic, said: "We exist to make our customers smile, it's that simple. As we look ahead to this next phase of our digital transformation, technology will enable us to deliver smarter, simpler, and more memorable experiences. TCS has been a partner for more than two decades, and together we'll continue to build towards our vision of becoming the most loved travel company, powered by AI technology to modernise our systems, drive efficiency and deliver for our customers." With deep aviation expertise and contextual knowledge, TCS will utilise its proprietary solutions, such as TCS Cognix and TCS AI WisdomNext, to accelerate transformation, enable experience-centric services, and enhance service delivery. TCS's bouquet of technology solutions will support Virgin Atlantic in building a resilient and sustainable digital core, enabling the airline to innovate continuously while delivering value across revenue, efficiency, and customer experience metrics, and become sustainably profitable. These solutions will be delivered through a dedicated onsite team of TCS associates equipped with a deep contextual knowledge of Virgin Atlantic's environment. Amit Kapur, Country Head - UK & Ireland, Tata Consultancy Services, said, "At TCS, we believe being perpetually adaptive is a necessity in today's dynamic business landscape. Our two-decade partnership with Virgin Atlantic is a testament to a shared vision. By combining our deep aviation expertise with advanced capabilities in data, AI, and engineering, we're helping Virgin Atlantic build intelligent, scalable digital ecosystems and redefine the future of travel."

Mobile money has an increasingly vital role to play in South Africa's economy, despite the fact that the country boasts an advanced financial services sector. That's the view of Kagiso Mothibi, CEO of Fintech at MTN South Africa, who was sharing his views in a recent interview with TechCentral's TCS+ (watch it below) in which he discusses the broader fintech vision for the network operator and its role in driving innovation across the group. But what is it about mobile money services that is attracting South African consumers to products like MTN's MoMo, and what role do these platforms fulfil in the broader financial services ecosystem? Mothibi unpacks this in detail in the interview. He also discusses: • Why South Africa has proved to be a tougher mobile money market to crack than many other countries in Africa; • How the South African market differs from others in which MTN operates; • Who the target market is for MoMo – is it the unbanked and underbanked, or does MTN also have plans to serve well-heeled customers, too? • What's driving the growth in MoMo services in South Africa and why; • What MTN's fintech portfolio houses today and the company's plans to expand this in the coming years; • The recent launched of MoMo Pay, how it works and how MTN is onboarding merchants; • What pain points MoMo Pay addresses in the payments ecosystem; and • What the future holds for the fintech business in South Africa – and how product innovation locally is being deployed in other MTN markets across the continent.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions and operating a Global Delivery Centre out of Letterkenny in Co. Donegal, Ireland, has been ranked among the 100 most valuable brands worldwide in the Kantar BrandZ Most Valuable Global Brands 2025 Report. In a special 20th edition ceremony held in New York by Kantar, TCS was accorded a brand value of $57.3 billion with an accelerated 28% year-on-year growth. TCS now ranks #45 globally, in a list that includes the world's most prominent brands across industry sectors. This year's growth marks a sharp acceleration in brand equity, favourability and awareness. In a separate independent brand audit carried out by Momentum-ITSMA, TCS demonstrated 95% aided brand awareness with business executives across 26 countries worldwide, up exponentially from 29% which the same audit polled in 2010. This growth in brand value and equity highlights TCS' sustained brand building efforts, including high-impact global sports partnerships, customer-centric innovation, and consistent marketing excellence. Martin Guerrieria, Head of Kantar BrandZ, said, "By drawing on the depth of BrandZ's database over the last quarter of a century, our insights show that with the right level of investment and strategic focus, brands have huge potential to drive growth for their owners. TCS' performance this year demonstrates its ability to innovate at scale with AI capabilities now running through its portfolios. TCS' strategic sponsorship programmes continue to build a strong global presence and community around its brand." TCS' rise in brand value is rooted in its long-term commitment to humanizing technology through experiences that inspire, innovations that transform, and relationships that go the distance. At the centre of this momentum is TCS' sponsorship of 14 global running events, including five of the seven Abbott World Marathon Majors such as the TCS New York City Marathon, TCS London Marathon, and TCS Sydney Marathon. These events engage over 600,000 runners annually and contributed $2.25 billion to local economies in 2024, raising $279 million for charitable causes. The TCS brand also demonstrated a 30-point uplift in brand familiarity and 40-point uplift in brand consideration, the highest improvement amongst all the key sponsors of the sport. Abhinav Kumar, Chief Marketing Officer, TCS, said, "For 20 years Kantar BrandZ has recognised the world's most valuable brands. We congratulate them on this special anniversary edition of their brand excellence platform. Alongside the brand leadership we have in our industry, we are very pleased to see this recognition of the TCS brand amongst the world's most iconic brands across industries. This growth in brand value, awareness and equity has been built on a range of high-impact long term marketing and communications programmes. Building a brand is indeed a marathon, yet I would like to thank all my colleagues in TCS for doing this long run, at the scorching pace of a sprint. Kudos to all of them." From creating the first-ever digital twin heart of a pro-runner to deploying Agentic AI systems that can autonomously reason and act across complex business contexts, TCS continues to shape the future of enterprises and consumer experiences. The company's partnership with Jaguar through the Jaguar TCS Racing Team that competes in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship positions TCS at the intersection of intelligent engineering and sustainable innovation, highlighting the brand's commitment to next-generation experiences that resonate with communities. TCS also continues to be recognized for its strong client partnerships and employer brand. In 2025, TCS was ranked the #1 IT service provider in Europe for customer satisfaction by Whitelane Research. TCS was named a Global Top Employer across more than 30 countries and regions, including North America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America, by the Top...

Strategic affiliation in higher education offers an alternative path for institutional sustainability—one that maintains mission and autonomy while accessing shared infrastructure and support. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Dr. Matt Nehmer, President of The Colleges of Law, about his institution's affiliation with The Community Solution Education System (TCS) and what other leaders should know before pursuing similar strategies. Drawing on his experience as both a college president and former system executive, Nehmer shares how the affiliation was structured, how accreditation and compliance were handled, and what shared services have allowed The Colleges of Law to professionalize operations without sacrificing identity. This conversation is especially relevant for presidents, trustees, and institutional leaders considering affiliation models to improve long-term viability. Topics Covered: Why The Colleges of Law pursued affiliation before it became a necessity The dual-board governance structure that balances autonomy and accountability How legal safeguards protected institutional assets during transition Shared services provided through The Community Solutions system and how they're managed Accreditation coordination with WASC and the implications of a system model Academic collaboration across system institutions without curriculum loss Leadership communication and the president's role in system-level engagement Real-World Examples Discussed: Asset protection using a legacy nonprofit entity Cross-listed family law course shared with affiliated institutions Accreditation contingency planning in case of system dissolution Strategic planning coordination across multiple colleges Three Key Takeaways for Leadership: Presidents must actively educate stakeholders about how system affiliation works. Legal and governance structures matter—protect assets and clarify responsibilities. Affiliation doesn't require cultural compromise; it enables operational focus. This episode provides practical insights for institutions exploring strategic affiliation as a pathway to long-term resilience without sacrificing independence. Recommended For: Presidents, trustees, board members, general counsel, provosts, and system executives considering affiliation or system alignment models in higher education.

Timestamp to skip intro: (8:45) In 2019, Evelyn Boswell (15 months) was seen alive for the last time, reportedly by a babysitter in Blountville, Tennessee. Evelyn was not reported missing until February 2020.   Her grandfather raised the alarm after he said he had not seen the child since Thanksgiving. Authorities started investigating and zeroed in on Evelyn's mother, Megan ‘Maggie' Boswell.   Megan gave varying accounts of where the child was and repeatedly lied to law enforcement. In March 2020, Evelyn's tiny body was found with her head wrapped in aluminum foil.   She had been stuffed into a trash can and discarded like waste. Megan would be arrested and charged with Evelyn's murder.   Now, five years later, Megan's trial has just concluded and she has been found guilty of killing her daughter.  Read our blog for this case Be sure to follow us on Instagram for the latest crime news Join us on Patreon for exclusive, ad-free content This episode is sponsored by: Cure Hydration:  The electrolyte drink mix that tastes as amazing as it makes you feel.  Cure is offering 20% off your first order!
