adoption of cloud technologies and continuing with the consolidation of services from decentralised silos to a shared IT service delivery model .
Adjusting to remote learning On the subject of evolution , Taaleem – like thousands of other education providers across the globe – was left with little option but to evolve at pace when the COVID-19 pandemic struck .
