Why Unilever combines IT with business

In this week’s Computer Weekly, we find out how consumer goods giant Unilever has changed its thinking about IT to support a global digital transformation programme. The UK boss of Hewlett Packard Enterprise assesses progress after the first year since HP split in two.

Also in this issue:

  • With new figures suggesting the average datacentre worker is 55 years old and male, the industry discusses what’s required to secure new talent to replace those approaching retirement age.
  • David Cooper, interim CIO at utility firm Centrica, explains how his job is more than just keeping the lights on.
  • We examine the current state of play in the ongoing competition between the two operating systems.
  • Open source software is a popular choice for high-performance computing, analytics, object storage, cloud and network-attached storage, but can it crack the enterprise?
