Machine learning (ML) models are only as good as the data that trains them. High-quality, well-organised, and accurately labelled data is the foundation of successful ML projects. However, preparing this data in-house often takes significant time and puts a strain on resources, making it an expensive and challenging task for many teams.

Cloud migration without ‘the fear’ – Practical insights moving a major VLE to AWS

Diksha — Thu, 14 May 2026 14:01:40 GMT

Sometimes it’s easy to under-appreciate a virtual learning environment until you put it through a full cloud migration, modernisation, and the controlled chaos of peak student enrolment.

Working with The Open University to migrate and modernise their Moodle-based platforms to AWS – including the core VLE, OpenSTEM Labs and OpenLearn – gave us a front-row seat to what it really takes to future-proof large-scale digital learning.

This is not just a story about moving servers; it is about reshaping how learning experiences are delivered, operated and evolved.

If you’re considering migrating your education platform to the cloud, here are some practical insights to help you approach the process with confidence and clarity.

Milestones matter – but only because of what they represent.

In 2025, NashTech marked its 25^th year. A quarter of a century in technology is no small achievement in an industry defined by constant change. Yet this milestone is not simply about longevity. It’s a moment to reflect on what has remained constant throughout that change: people, partnerships and a share belief that technology should create meaningful impact.

Why custom software development is now strategically important

Diksha — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 08:30:00 GMT

For years, enterprise technology strategy followed a familiar pattern: buy proven platforms, configure where necessary, and avoid the perceived risk of building from scratch. That model is being quietly but decisively rewritten, and with leaders under more and more pressure to grow revenues, differentiation through custom software and AI, is critical.

NashTech’s global study of 1,000 technology decision-makers shows just how AI is accelerating changes in technology strategy, with 85% see AI as an immediate priority in custom software development. Even more telling, 97% believe AI has made custom software more accessible than ever before. The barriers to building have fallen, but the strategic stakes have risen.
