In this episode of "Making Connections" host Nick Layzell, Customer Success Director at Telehouse, is joined by two leading voices in the field: Andy Thornley from techUK and Alex Pennington, Legal Counsel at Telehouse. This episode offers an in-depth exploration of the implications of FFDA and Open Finance, discussing the nuances of data sharing mandates, impacts on digital identity, consumer protection, and the strategic responses required by financial organisations.

This insightful conversation is a must-listen for professionals navigating the finance sector, policymakers, and tech enthusiasts seeking to understand the dynamic intersection of financial services, regulation, and technology.

To explore these questions, Nick Layzell talks to Matthew Lempriere, Head of Sales: UK, ME & APAC at BSO and Halil Kama, Senior Peering Advisor at the London Internet Exchange (LINX) in this episode of Making Connections.

To answer these questions, Nick Layzell talks to James Amies, Services Director and Gareth Meyer, Chief Revenue Officer at Technimove in this episode of Making Connections.

Unlike their fictional counterparts found on the silver screen, robots have limitations in the real world. However, an increasing number of industries are finding effective use cases for robotics, making the technology integral to certain operations whilst increasing visibility to the public.
