ReImagining Software Implementation in the Age of SaaS

Nova Scotia, Canada

Software as a service (SaaS) -based solutions are being widely adopted in organizations of all sizes because of their perceived faster time to value,  and lower cost of entry.

WTWT: Empowering Women in the Digital Economy

Nova Scotia, Canada

Join Volta and ICTC for a session on Empowering Women in the Digital Economy: Addressing Tech's Untapped Potential. Description: Gender diversity in leadership leads to increased intellectual diversity and is associated with profitability and innovation. Strengthening gender diversity is critical to Canada’s digital economy. Nevertheless, gender diversity is challenged at the senior level in Canada’s digital economy. While the proportion of women in tech is on the rise, many women in tech belong to younger cohorts and occupy junior-level roles. Women aged 45–54—the age group that would typically hold most mid- and senior-level roles—is the slowest growing cohort in the digital economy. Women in Canada are underrepresented in management roles across the economy, and this trend holds true for digital economy management occupations. Women's representation in upper-level roles appears to be low because many women opt out of the digital economy mid-career - seeking work in other sectors. ICTC's new study provides insights into why women leave the tech sector mid-career. This study finds that systemic barriers at varying levels of the technology ecosystem result in the digital economy being inconducive to women’s success, ultimately resulting in women seeking work in other sectors. In addition to identifying these barriers, the report recommends […]
