I have been doing video interviews with a number of CIOs, software executives and practitioners about acrobatics they have been seeing in various vertical sectors during the COVID-19 crisis and the "New normal" they can expect as the economy wakes up.
This time it is Tara Gambill, Sr. Director of Enterprise Systems at MOD Pizza. MOD stands for Made-on-Demand. MOD is known for its artisanal pizzas, cooked ultra-fast in stone ovens. As Tara says "it's Pizza as a Platform" - the founders were purpose driven, people oriented and that company culture continues that even after a decade+ since it was founded.
She talks about how MOD Pizza has coped with varying restrictions on restaurants across 28 states where they have stores and food supply chain disruptions during the COVID-19 crisis.
She also discusses how her completely SaaS IT environment which includes SAP S/4HANA in the public cloud, SAP SuccessFactors and Microsoft Teams has helped with work from home demands and scaling volumes.
