GBG at the overall wellbeing of employees at the current place of work – their homes . Mamone adds “ We worked hard to ensure individuals have the flexibility and are empowered to drive their own agenda and schedule .” Mark runs the largest team at GBG , and so any and all business-specific strategies have been introduced in one way or another by the office of the CIO . Keeping in mind the macroeconomic landscape that COVID-19 has now presented to the world , customers want methods that are safe , secure and seamless . This growing move to online means that products by GBG need to be able to cope with concerns of reach , security , compliance , scale and speed . To do this , GBG leveraged the cloud and the very latest technologies within that cloud such as event-driven architecture , micro-services , containerisation and functions as a service ( FaaS ).
Speaking about trust and the backbone GBG has to play in that , Mamone emphasises that now is not the time to be complacent , adding further " You could have argued that Polaroid or Nokia had their respective markets sewn up . They didn ’ t . You could argue that there was no marketplace larger than Walmart – you ’ d be wrong . Tesla has disrupted Space . Amazon , online retail . Netflix , online media . But if you think these can ’ t be overthrown , you ’ re wrong . It ’ s going to be hard but in the current climate , nobody can be complacent - we certainly aren ’ t . That ’ s why we focus on our team members and the customer , with data and technology at the core of who we are . This is valued by a growing global customer base looking for secure solutions that can evolve to help them prosper and grow . It ’ s ever changing , and we ’ ll never get complacent .” businesschief . com 265
