    Perspectives from the Edge: Data Sovereignty Insights with TechMarketView

    Data sovereignty isn't a solo effort. It's a symphony. Data sovereignty is moving fast up the agenda. But who's orchestrating it? The second episode of Perspectives from the Edge explores the subject through an analyst’s laser lens, in conversation with Kate Hanaghan, Chief Research Officer at TechMarketView. Find out how AI and platform consolidation make data harder to control, how to bake sovereignty into your business from the start – and why the organisations getting it right treat ecosystems as a strategy, not just a procurement exercise. The conversation, hosted by Wendy Shearer, considers what pragmatic sovereignty really looks like in practice, the hidden risks that creep in through partners and platforms, and how to start making smarter, workload-by-workload decisions without slowing the business down. Why listen: To get expert insights on tackling sovereignty in the AI age and what to consider when building your strategy, contracts and partner relationships.

    Perspectives from the Edge: Data Sovereignty Decoded with KPMG

    Data sovereignty isn’t a checkbox – it’s now a board-level priority. Data sovereignty is everywhere right now, but for many organisations, it still feels abstract. In this first episode of Perspectives from the Edge, Assad Noori, Head of Digital Infrastructure Advisory for the UK at KPMG, speaks with Pulsant's Wendy Shearer, about why sovereignty has become a board-levelissue, how AI and hybrid infrastructure are reshaping long-held assumptions, and why decisions about where data lives, moves, and is accessed now carry far wider implications than most organisations expect. Together, they explore the tension between innovation and control, the risks of oversimplifying sovereignty, and what it really means to operate with confidence in an increasingly complex digital landscape. Why listen: To hear how data sovereignty is really shaping decisions around cloud, AI, and risk, and what that means for organisations trying to move forward with confidence.
