Don’t Let Technical Debt Swamp Your Recovery!! | Sadin on Digital

Cloud Wars Live with Bob Evans

The Big Themes: • Microsoft told 160,000 employees: You have the permanent right to work from home. All the big tech companies are starting to adapt because a lot of their workers can work from anywhere. Huge implications for every type of business. • Apple will evangelize 5G. The new wave of iPhones will help millions of businesspeople grasp the significance and power of 5G without having to understand the technical details behind this extraordinary technology. • “Augmented” Reality becoming “Regular” Reality? As more of this powerful new technology becomes commonplace, it will expand our perception of what’s “real”—and it will seem normal, not the stuff of sci-fi. Are you ready? • CXOs who refuse to understand technology are doomed to fail. Doesn’t matter how old you are or what your early experiences were with IT—no CXO can expect to succeed unless she or he has a deep and ongoing sense of how technology can drive new levels of business value. The Big Quote: “When you put in your technology 10, 20, 30, or 40 years ago you’ve stopped maintaining it.” This episode is brought to you by BMC Software.
