Read MoreUK’s first Data Drills shine spotlight on information readiness
/
When unexpected incidents occur, it is vitally important to react quickly to protect lives, maintain public services and minimise business disruption. However, to rapidly make the right decisions, organisations need to know how to find, access and utilise relevant data quickly.
