Headlines
Good afternoon,

According to Australian-controlled software development company, Mitrais, there has been “significant growth” in software development projects being outsourced by Australian IT companies. The unit has revealed plans to build a 40,000-square metres headquarters in Bali to facilitate the growth.

Meanwhile, small firms in the UK are being warned not to be misled by bogus agencies that send notices demanding money to register under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). The warning comes after Leeds Crown Court sentenced three men to prison on 8 June for their involvement in bogus data protection agencies.
