Manageability – Part 1: Naming Conventions

When it comes to managing anything within IT, it will always be a good thing to keep things organized, in one way or another.

Ett begrenset opt-in vindu er nå tilgjengelig i 6 måneder for å be om tidlig migrering. Etter dette vil det være betydelig vanskeligere å få gjennomført migrering til Norge.
