We're looking for a creative and self-sufficient Front-End Developer who loves building exceptional user experiences using the Vue ecosystem. You'll join a cross-functional team working on a complex, modular platform that combines SSR apps, embedded widgets, and AI-powered features. If you thrive in an environment where challenges appear daily - and you enjoy turning chaos into clarity - this is your place.

What started as a three-person team has grown into a global company of around 250 employees, with teams across the United States, India, and Mexico. The company's mission is straightforward-create better experiences for customers, employees, and operations using smart, human-focused technology. Rather than replace existing platforms, Epik builds around them. "We extend the value of what's already working," says the CEO. "That's what makes our solutions adaptable."

Our work is not about producing a list of tables with numbers in rows and columns,

He said performance indicators for senior officials would be set by ministers and those civil servants not meeting expectations would be shown the door. Instead of the sideways shimmy to another team or department if you fail to perform, I'm afraid you will be sacked, he said, adding that the doers, not the talkers would be in line for promotion.

Traditionally, leaders and managers often treat technology as a tool or capability that can help get work done more efficiently, but doesn't drastically change the nature of that work. Email, for instance, allows for faster communication. The supply chain management (SCM) system reduces supply chain costs, shortens delivery cycles, and ensures that products are delivered to customers quickly and accurately. Increasingly, however, this view is out of date. In recent years, the role of technology in shaping organizations has undergone revolutionary changes.

"Cyber-attacks can take vital public services offline in minutes, disrupting our digital services and our very way of life," he said. "This plan sets a new bar to bolster the defences of our public sector, putting cyber-criminals on warning that we are going further and faster to protect the UK's businesses and public services alike. "This is how we keep people safe, services running, and build a government the public can trust in the digital age."

Warren Buffett's failure to capitalize on the economy's digital shift over the last two decades has hurt his otherwise enviable track record as an investor. His blind spot regarding tech didn't stop at the stock market: It bled into how he ran Berkshire Hathaway's operating companies as well. Across many of his wholly owned businesses, Buffett neglected technological upgrades, and Berkshire's business value has suffered as a result.

The announcement made headlines and thrilled investors, but behind the scenes, the organization wasn't prepared. Ted was given a skeletal team of two direct reports, a patchwork of third-party tools, and the mandate to partner with five global banking divisions serving more than 500 employees. He was expected to turn the AI vision into reality with little structural support.

For technology leaders, this year has been defined less by what to promise and more by how to deliver. The conversation has matured, but unevenly. Some organisations are now treating sustainability as an organisational capability, whilst others are still trying to reconcile their ambitions with fragmented systems and incomplete data. The task for 2026 will be to embed sustainability into the digital and operational fabric of business - to move decisively from strategy to systems.

The Social Security Administration wants to halve the number of people that go to its field offices in the 2026 fiscal year. More than 31 million people visited SSA field offices over the last fiscal year. Now, the agency aims to have 50% fewer visits - or no more than 15 million total - in fiscal 2026, which began in October, according to internal planning documents viewed by Nextgov/FCW.

Having started his career as a project manager, Redmond delivered major initiatives for Xerox and Aon that touched on the implementation of technology. As he increasingly focused on IT systems, his career trajectory changed, saying: "I blended large-scale transformations with IT early in my career, so that's why I'm a technologist today." After working as head of strategy for brewer SAB Miller, in November 2016 Redmond joined FTSE 250 firm PageGroup - often best known by its Michael Page brand.

The Future unlocked report explores how connectivity can unlock growth, boost job satisfaction, enhance customer experiences and supercharge productivity. It comprises three pillars: value creation, employee experience and consumer expectation. This involves creating an economic model that quantifies the socio-economic impacts of an increasingly digitally connected UK economy by 2030. Opinion research was conducted with 2,000 employees in four sectors - retail; banking and finance; healthcare; and the public sector - to assess employee expectations on the future of workplace technologies

Fragmented and stop-start technology investment has resulted in the police being slow to adopt new technologies - and benefit from the expected productivity improvements - at a national level, according to a report from the National Audit Office (NAO). The UK's independent public spending watchdog said that in the financial year 2024-25, His Majesty's Treasury provided £234 million over four years to help fund investments in police technology, including £55.5 million in that year.

Products were developed around a sturdy core banking system and rigid business process to ensure security and trust, distributed through branch networks, and only then wrapped in a customer experience and brand veneer. But those days are over because customers and the market demand the opposite. Today's Fintech upstarts and digital-first neobanks have flipped the model on its head, designing their institutions from the outside in.

On a weekday morning in suburban Maryland, a behavioral health therapist logs into her dashboard before meeting her first client. The screen displays real-time caseloads, treatment plans, and risk alerts. One name flashes yellow-a client whose recent history suggests heightened hospitalization risk. Rather than waiting for crisis, the therapist addresses this proactively. This moment illustrates how thoughtfully designed digital systems don't replace human care; they sharpen it.

In 2018, tech giant Apple became the first U.S. company to reach a market capitalization of $1 trillion. Since then, it's been joined by other companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and Tesla. Of course, the list also includes the current market-cap leader, Nvidia. It's becoming increasingly normal for a new company to join the $1 trillion club. But it remains an impressive feat nevertheless. At this pace, these tech titans could be joined by brick-and-mortar giant Walmart in 2026.

Ontario Superior Court Chief Justice Geoffrey Morawetz has been outspoken about the need to modernize the province's justice system and said the change is long overdue. What we're trying to achieve is a system that works for everybody on a far more equitable timeline so that you can deliver justice in a system that is really quite responsive to the public and the public's needs, he told CBC Radio's Metro Morning earlier this week.
