Welcome to December!
As the final month of the year, December is a time for reflection. Within 2Data, a lot has happened: we opened offices in the Netherlands and Singapore, attended every SAMs event to meet our customers and potential customers, and our team tripled in size with many greater things to come. December is also a month to pause and spend time with family. Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or simply enjoying the winter or summer season for our colleagues in Cape Town, December offers a special kind of magic that brings people together.
This is most likely also the case for Microsoft, as there are not many changes this month.
