Welcome back to our first newsletter of the year.


Since January hit, we've been pedal to the metal, diving into some really exciting new projects and continuing with many longer-term projects from 2024.


With summer drawing to a close, our teams recently took the opportunity to get out in the sunshine for some exercise as part of Round the Bays events, with athletes from our Wellington and Auckland offices getting involved.


Coming up, we have a new cohort starting the Women Rising and Male Allies programme - a professional development initiative. We've supported this programme since 2021, and the feedback from our team members who have completed it has been overwhelmingly positive.


Highlights in this edition


GenAI remains as prevalent as ever, with new headlines constantly emerging. Our new virtual panel series brings together Theta experts to discuss the latest tech developments and industry trends. In the latest episode, we talk all about DeepSeek.


On the subject of AI, our private GenAI chat solution, Theta Assist, is now available on Azure Marketplace. Book your demo and learn more about how your organisation can take advantage of this quick and cost effective solution. You can also book a GenAI strategy workshop with us to help identify your unique use cases.


We're pleased to announce our new Centre of Excellence for Microsoft Fabric. And for organisations using Microsoft Power Platform, our in-house expert Sudeep Ghatak, offers tips on how to keep it under control.


Finally, if you're a Power BI user, get up to speed with the latest updates. We also publish these top picks every month on our website and LinkedIn.


Regards

Rob Lee, CEO
