No more (CIO) excuses

The Workday Predict and Prepare videocast that Bill Kutik, Naomi Bloom, Brian Sommer and I recorded a couple of weeks ago is now available for on-demand viewing here (registration required)

The video lasts an hour but, if I may say so, flows very well. I saw it for the first time today and Bill, moderating his 102nd such panel, clearly knows how to run a nice show. 

My prediction towards end of video is that more CIOs,  like the NFL players/alums who are running commercials on the sensitive topic of domestic violence, will in 2015 finally fess up and say they have been making all kinds of excuses to stay with their inefficient, on-premise back office software - “The cloud is not secure”, “The SLAs are not acceptable” “We don’t want to be in the integration business” -  etc, etc, etc.

The list of excuses is long and well worn. My book, SAP Nation, has a $ trillion worth of detail to combat each of those excuses. Time for these CIOs to speak up like Chris Carter

Brian and Naomi have other excellent predictions and comments. Well worth a watch.

Happy New Year!!
