In this episode, MinterEllisonRuddWatts partner Jane Parker talks to senior associate Kate Anderson, both from our technology practice. Jane and Kate discuss the different types of hosting arrangements that can be offered, activities that each party to the arrangement can expect to do, and some of the points to think about when things go wrong. [2:00] Jane and Kate start off with looking at how arrangements for using software and technology have changed over the years: from iterations on a hard drive, to large scale infrastructure as a service providers [10:24] They talk about the physical location of these centres, and why this is still important for a number of reasons, including discussing privacy laws and sanctions.[15:37] Jane and Kate talk about the necessity of understanding what is actually being provided with the service, for example, to ensure that the equipment is compatible with a party's software. They also discuss the steps needed to get from contract to go-live, including looking at testing and on-going maintenance: which party is responsible for what activities? [20:45][23:20] Finally, they talk about balancing the risks and responsibilities of the arrangement, particularly in the case of a catastrophic event. Jane and Kate consider this from a practical viewpoint and discuss how such events could be managed and the possible consequences. Please contact Jane Parker or our Technology team if you need legal advice and guidance on any of the topics discussed in the episode.

Jennie Dann, Director of Construction and Infrastructure Services with the City of London, joins 980 CFPL's Mike Stubbs to update listeners on different construction projects around the city.

The Executive Mayor of Joahannesburg, Dr Mpho Phalatse, has made an urgent request for Eskom to suspend load shedding in the city for three days to allow for it to meet the escalating fault and outage reports being logged every hour. City's MMC for Environment and Infrastructure Services, Michael Sun says power cuts are preventing the city from being able to effectively attend to the outages and to stabilise the situation. He spoke to Sakina Kamwendo on the latest on the ground.

The City of Johannesburg says its disaster management teams remain on high alert as the South African Weather Service forecasts more rain in Gauteng over the next few days. This follows the devastating floods and thunderstorms that lashed Gauteng on Thursday.  Johannesburg's City Power has called for understanding from residents as it battles to keep up with the high demand for reconnections. A number of areas have been without electricity for prolonged periods. For more on this, Elvis Presslin spoke to the Spokesperson for the Johannesburg Department of Environment and Infrastructure Services, Nickolaus Bauer

Amazon Web Services yesterday announced the launch of its second Indian data centre facility in Hyderabad, called the AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region. The first was opened in Mumbai in 2016. Britain's top competition authority will launch an investigation into the Apple-Google duopoly in the web browser market after many developers and businesses in the country complained of harmful restrictions imposed by the tech giants. And SaaS broadcast tech provider Amagi has acquired Streamwise, a company in the US. Notes: Amazon Web Services yesterday announced the launch of its second Indian data centre facility, which it calls an infrastructure region, in Hyderabad. The new data centre facility, AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region, “is part of our long-term investment in the country since opening our first office in 2011,” Prasad Kalyanaraman, vice president of Infrastructure Services at Amazon Data Services, said in a press release. Amazon established its first Indian data centre facility in Mumbai, in 2016. AWS plans to invest an estimated $4.4 billion (about Rs. 36,300 crore) in India by 2030 through the new Hyderabad facility. Britain's Competition and Markets Authority said in a statement yesterday that it will launch an investigation into what it called the “stranglehold” that Apple and Google have on the internet browser market. The UK's top competition authority consulted on launching a market investigation alongside its Mobile Ecosystem Market Study report, which found that Apple and Google have an effective duopoly on mobile ecosystems that allows them to exercise a stranglehold over operating systems, app stores and web browsers on mobile devices, according to the statement. Responses to the consultation, which were published yesterday, reveal substantial support for a fuller investigation into the way that Apple and Google dominate the mobile browser market and how Apple restricts cloud gaming through its App Store, according to the statement. Web developers have complained that Apple's restrictions, combined with suggested underinvestment in its browser technology, lead to added costs and frustration as they have to deal with bugs and glitches when building web pages, and have no choice but to create bespoke mobile apps when a website might be sufficient. Sarah Cardell, interim Chief Executive of the CMA, said in the statement: “Many UK businesses and web developers tell us they feel that they are being held back by restrictions set by Apple and Google.” “When the new Digital Markets regime is in place, it's likely to address these sorts of issues. In the meantime, we are using our existing powers to tackle problems where we can. We plan to investigate whether the concerns we have heard are justified and if so, identify steps to improve competition and innovation in these sectors,” she added. Amagi, a SaaS technology provider for the broadcast and connected TV businesses, has acquired Streamwise, an early-stage data aggregation and reporting platform for content distributors, the company said in a press release. Streamwise specializes in automating and standardizing data collection for streaming platforms. The acquisition will help Amagi enhance its data solutions capabilities with comprehensive reporting and dashboards, it said in the release.

Kyndryl marks first year apart from IBM “We are advising, designing, building, deploying, and managing the world's most critical infrastructure,” says Gretchen Tinnerman, US Global Practice Leader for Network and Edge, of Kyndryl. “But we're doing that in a transformed state.” Tinnerman defines the transformed state as a company that invests heavily in its team, focusing on “reskilling” and “upskilling”. For Kyndryl, 5G not only changes the conversation, and the way we hold the conversation, but 5G also changes the way we do things, including valuing the people inside an organization that make it all happen. In this podcast, we learn how Kyndryl, the world's largest IT infrastructure services provider was spun off out of IBM one year ago. Since then, Kyndryl has seen a lot of customer demand for 5G and edge computing support, with use cases ranging from personal safety to manufacturing automation. Kyndryl has also advised thousands of customers globally on how to embrace edge computing to open new dimensions for their business. Tinnerman discusses the experiences of the past year, looks into the future and comments on the major trends she sees in the industry. Visit www.kyndryl.com

Remko Rosen-boom, General Manager of Infrastructure Services at the Sunshine Coast Regional District discusses the Sunshine Coast's urgent need for water

Keeping network infrastructure services such as electricity supply, water supply and railways working is one of the most important things the government can do to keep the economy going. The private sector is becoming increasingly involved, but this is by and large still the government's responsibility. The load shedding in recent weeks, and the water shortages it has caused, show how the government is failing. Railway infrastructure has been neglected over many years and destroyed in many places, and now Transnet's workers want to strike. * The Economics Minute is supported by the NWU Business School. Read the amaBhungane reports here.

As Eskom re-introduces stage four load shedding the City of Johannesburg's multi-party government says it is working around the clock to meet targets of adding additional energy supply from Independent Power Producers, or IPPs to the grid. This is to ensure the City's residents and the economy can be guaranteed a reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity supply. To further discuss this Elvis Presslin spoke to the Spokesperson for the Johannesburg Department of Environment and Infrastructure Services, Nickolaus Bauer

MMC for Environment and Infrastructure Services, Cllr. Michael Sun on City Power's project to retrofit all Johannesburg's streetlights with energy saving LED technology, on how to report non-working streetlights and general challenges around the maintenance of infrastructure in the city.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Key Takeaways: Owning The Customer Experience Larry Gordon is the Managing Director, GTM, Emtec Digital, a firm that empowers their transportation and logistics clients to accelerate innovation and deliver amazing client experiences. In the podcast interview, Larry explains how the customer experience is increasingly enabled by technology. Consumer technology companies like Amazon have raised the bar on customer experience.

The 3PL market is separating between the “haves” who have game-changing technology and the “have-nots” who are unable or unwilling to invest in technology. In the past, IT service companies developed systems that were focused on operational and financial functions that were not seen or use by the firm's customers. Today, IT service companies are not just not just developing systems that streamline the process – they are delivering customer experiences. When the customer is regularly interacting with the technology, the bar is very high. IT services companies who are developing customer experiences, work closely with customers (end customers) to understand their unique preferences. Emtec develops digital products or platforms that are customer facing – products that have the ability to delight customers and give your company a competitive advantage.

This topic was one of ILTACON 2021's most popular conference sessions, and as security is a concern to many the original panel has reunited for a follow-up podcast. Security is complex and when left without robust resources of money, knowledge, and people we sometimes revert to the ostrich head in the sand approach. Even though we try to do our best, we sometimes fall into bad habits. This podcast session is the opposite of sharing best practices . . . we will call out the absolute worst mistakes. Without mentioning any entity or name, we will discuss the criticality of certain practices. Our goal is to give you the opportunity to walk away with a private GOLD STAR or perhaps the feeling of "oh no, I do that and better fix that" without having to admit it to your peers.

פודקאסט מספר 378 של רברס עם פלטפורמה - אורי ורן מארחים בכרכור (קצת פחות חם?) את עמרי פימה מחברת Natural Intelligence לשיחה על Intuitive Codebases, או במילים אחרות - קוד-בייסים אינטיאיטיביים (לא ראיתם את זה בא, הא?)ולפני כן - קצת על עמרי ועל החברה - עמרי - כיום ארכיטקט ב - Natural Intelligence, ש”עוזרת לצרכנים לקבל החלטות” - היום בעולם הצרכנות יש המון החלטות שאנחנו צריכים לקבל (ממשכנתא, ביטוח, DNA Kits ועד מזגן, מקרר, מכונות כביסה וכו’). אנחנו יודעים לעשות את המחקר באינטרנט ולעזור לאנשים להבין מה חשוב, מה לא חשוב, ואיך לבחור נכון.וכיוון שאתם חברת תוכנה - סביר להניח שיש מאחורי זה לא מעט מדע והנדסה. איך הדברים האלה עובדים? איך אתם עוזרים ללקוחות לקבל החלטות (מעבר לאינטליגנציה טבעית כמובן . . .)?יש הרבה מאוד תהליכים - מנועי המלצות, או “פשוט לסרוק את האינטרנט”, להבין ולעשות ניתוח - ובהרבה מקרים זה אנשים שעושים מחקר ומנסים להבין מה באמת חשוב בכל עולם תוכן ובכל תעשייה, על מנת לעזור לכל אחד לקבל החלטה.ומן הסתם - יש גם אתגר של לנסות להפוך את כל זה לאוטומטי: רק חלק מהאתגר של לנסות לגדול מ-150 עולמות תוכן לכיון ה-3,000-4,000 ואולי הרבה יותר.בהחלט מדובר כאן על Scale שאינו טריוויאלי, והחברה גדלה באופן מאוד מהיר - מה שמביא אותנו לנושא השיחה שהוא קוד-בייסים אינטיאיטיביים (נמשיך עם המושג הזה עד שיתפוס?) - בנוסף לגידול של החברה גם צוות הפיתוח גדל.ובכל זאת רגע לפני - קצת על הרקע של עמרי: מה עשית לפני כן? אילו דברים אתה אוהב לעשות בעולם התוכנה? מה היה המעבד הראשון שסבל את נחת זרועך? כאלה . . .מגאסון . . . יש מספר או שלא סופרים? ויש גם את האטארי של אבא, אבל זה עוד היה בשחור-לבן.האהבה לעולם התוכנה התחילה עם מה שילדי שנות ה-90’ זוכרים כמשחק קליק ובניית משחקים - החל מ-Visual Basic, עתודאי בצבא (חיל אוויר), בניתי דברים שונים ומשונים.בחמש השנים שלפני Natural Intelligence עבדתי ב - Sears Israel - בנינו אתרי קניות, ועשיתי שם הכל מהכל: החל מ-SRE (דאגתי שהאתר לא ייפול ב - Black Friday . . .), דרך עולמות של המלצות, ניתוח טקסט, ניתוח סנטימנטים, מה משתמשים אוהבים ומה מעניין אותם - ואפילו עד עולמות של IOT ובניית מכשירים חכמים.לפני כ-9 חודשים הצטרפתי ל - Natural Intelligence בתפקיד ארכיטקט, ולמעשה כל הנושא של Intuitive Codebases מדבר הרבה מאוד על החווייה האישית שלי (עמרי) בתור תוכניתן חדש בסופו של יום, שמנסה להבין מה לעזאזל קורה פה . . .חשוב לציין שעמרי גם מדבר לא מעט בכנסים (כולל באיזה אחד בשם Reversim Summit - 2017, 2018, 2019 …) - אוהב לדבר, אוהב לבנות - לשם כך התכנסנו היום.אז לפני בערך 9 חודשים הצטרפת ל - Natural Intelligence, שהייתה קיימת לפני כן) - ספר על חוויות שלך כמהנדס מנוסה שמגיע ל - Codebase קיים: מה ראית? מה למדת? ואיך זה לוקח אותך לבלוג-פוסט שפרסמת על Intuitive Codebases.אחד הדברים שהכי הפתיעו אותי היה שביום שבו הגעתי לחברה - הגעתי יחד עם עוד 26 אנשים… לא כולם Engineers, אבל הרבה מאוד כן, כאלו שבאו ועברו את החווייה יחד איתי, כמעיין “חווייה קבוצתית”.יותר מזה - חודש אחרי הגיעה עוד כמות דומה, ובחודש שאחרי - עוד כמות גדולה.בגדול - כמעט בכל חודש מתווספים משהו כמו עשרה מהנדסים לחברה. להכשיר את כולם זה קשה (ולהכשיר אותי גם היה קשה).אז ניסיתי לחשוב אילו דברים היו טובים בתהליך הזה ומה אפשר לשפר - כי נראה שמהנדסים הולכים להמשיך להצטרף, ושווה לראות מה אפשר ללמוד על זה.צריך להגיד ש - Natural Intelligence היא חברה בוגרת יחסית - יש כבר Codebase בוגר, והרבה.מצד אחד יש הרבה Codebase, ומצד שני - זו חברה שעדיין עוברת תהליך גידול אקספוננציאלי.יש הרבה Codebase Legacy, אבל גם משכתבים את המערכות לטכנולוגיות מודרניות - וגם אנחנו “נאלצים” להתמודד עם כמויות של אנשים וצוותים שהחברה לא הכירה בעבר.אז כשאתה אומר “קשה” - מה זה אומר? אתה יושב מול המחשב ומתחיל לקרוא קוד ושואל “מה הולך כאן?”, שומע הרצאה? במה מתבטא הקושי?לפחות דבר אחד היה טוב בתוך התהליך הזה - עברנו מעיין “אקדמיה”: סט של הרצאות שמטרתן הייתה להכניס אותנו לאט ובזהירות.הרצאות - וגם מעיין התנסות: לנסות וליצור איזשהו פיצ’ר מסויים מקצה לקצה.התהליך של האקדמיה לקח משהו כמו שבועיים וחצי - ואני שואל את עצמי למה זה אמור לקחת שבועיים וחצי? איך אפשר להגיע למצב שבו זה ייקח פחות?גם לנו (רן, AppsFlyer) יש אתגרים מאוד דומים, וגם אצלנו יש אקדמיה - וגם אני שואל שאלות דומות ויכול להזדהות עם הכאב הזה . . .רק על מנת להדגיש את הנקודה - למה נדרש למהנדס מנוסה, שכבר עשה Deploy בחיים שלו, שבועיים וחצי עד שיתחיל להיות פרודוקטיבי ויכתוב שורת קוד שתכנס למוצר (לפחות “שייתן Commit ראשון ל-Production”)?מסתבר שיש הרבה מאוד סיבות, Anti-patterns ו-Best Practices שאנחנו כמהנדסים אוהבים לבוא ולעשות.קודם כל - מסיבות כאלו ואחרות, אנחנו לא אוהבים להיות קונסיסטנטיים (Consistent): לא בין ידע העבר שיש ולא מניסיון ממקומות קודמים וידע מהתעשייה לבין מה שקורה במקום חדש - יש לנו הרבה מאוד אהבה להמציא את הגלגל מחדש, להמציא טרמינולוגיה מחדש, וזו צרה אחת.מפתחים, גם כשהם מנוסים - הידע שקיים אצלם לא בהכרח ניתן להפעלה (Exercise) בצורה מהירה ומיידית על Codebase חדש ועל עולם חדש.מבחינת Stack טכנולוגי - היית בעולם שאתה מכיר? בגדול כן, ובגדול טכנולוגיה זה לא האספקט הקשה. אנחנו עובדים ב - Stack יחסית סטנדרטי: Slack, Node.js, Kubernetes - לא משהו שהתעשייה לא מכירה.אבל - כל חברה היום לוקחת את “הטוויסט” שלה, וזה בא לידי ביטוי (איך שאני רואה את זה) בעיקר בארכיטקטורה של המוצר.מה הכוונה? בסופו של דבר הצורה בה אני תופס ארכיטקטורה של מוצר אינה בהכרח סט המחלקות או המודולים, אלא סט הערכים.כשאנחנו באים לבנות מוצר ובאים לבנות ארכיטקטורה, בין אם אנחנו מתכוונים לזה ובין אם לאו - הקוד מייצג את הערכים של הארגון.ננסה דוגמא - בחברה הקודמת (Sears), משהו מאוד חשוב היה ורסטיליות (Versatility) של אנשים: היכולת לעבור מפרויקט לפרויקט, כך שאם יש עכשיו את הדבר הלוהט הבא אפשר לקפוץ לשם - והיו לזה משמעויות בארכיטקטורה שלנו - העדפנו מבנה של מונוליט - מצב של Codebase אחד שנמצא במקום אחד שזמין לכולם, וקל ומותר לגעת בכל דבר, וגם הכל נראה אותו הדבר לאורך כל המערכות.הכוונה ל-Mono-Repo או ל - Monolith?בהרבה מאוד מובנים Monolith, גם לפי הרבה עקרונות אחרים - למשל: החלטנו לוותר באופן מודע על פוליגלוטיות (Polyglot Programming), לבוא ולומר שלא משנה איך אתה “משחק את המשחק”, אתה תשחק באותה צורה; הרבה דברים יראו אותו הדבר, במידה מסויימת גם במחיר של ויתור על עקרונות של  Loosely-coupled - כי אנחנו רואים ערך בזה שהכל נוגע בהכל ותוכניתנים יכולים לגעת בהכל, ושתוכניתן יכול להבין את המשמעות של מה שהוא עושה.סתם מתוך סקרנות - מונוליט גם ברמת הפרישה (Deploy): פורשים Binary אחד וזה ה - Binary היחיד של החברה, או שברמה הזו זה כבר משהו אחר, יותר מעודן?אוקיי, אז לא היה מונוליט אחד - היו ארבעה . .  וכן - בסופו של יום היה בזה ערך, כי ה - codebase היה משותף וכולם הכירו את הקוד של כולם ולא משנה באיזה צוות היית.במידה מסויימת היינו מספיק קטנים על מנת להצליח להחזיק את הערכים האלה.לעומת זאת - עכשיו ב - Natural Intelligence יש ערכים חדשים - וה - Codebase צריך לייצג את זה.“פתאום” אנחנו הרבה יותר גדולים - אז צריך לדבר על אחריות, ואיזורי אחריות, ו - Business Domains, וצריך לדבר על זה שאנחנו לא רק גדולים אלא גם גדלים מאוד מהר, אז צריך לדבר על המשמעות של הכנסת המהנדס הבא - איך אנחנו גורמים לזה שהרבה מאוד מההחלטות ההנדסיות שקיבלנו מאוד ברורות ואינטואיטיביות (Intuitive Codebases) ולא צריך לשאול וכל הזמן ללוות את המהנדס הבא “ולהחזיק לו את היד בדרך לפרודוקטיביות”.קצת רפלקציה למה שעברנו (אורי) ב- Outbrain - אני חושב שעברנו את הצמיחה שאתה מתאר וגם ממשיכים לצמוח, אבל זה כבר לא חדש לנו. כמה דברים שעשינו בדרך היו מעבר מאוד חד ל - micro services, מה שמייצר אחריות ו-Decoupling מאוד טוב בין ה - Services.זה בא כמובן לאורך הדרך עם חסרונות, אבל מאפשר הרבה מאוד דברים, שאחד מהם הוא שיהיה Infrastructure אחיד לכל ה - Services, גם ברמת תשתיות התוכנה שמאפשרות את זה.כשמפתח מגיע הוא מקבל לינק ל - Boot-Camp, שהוא משימתי - כמו קורס Online שהוא צריך לעבור ובעצם לראות ו”להכיר בידיים” איך בונים Service, איך עושים לו Deployment וכו’ - כשבסופו של דבר הוא יוצא עם סט כלים ומכיר את ה - Infrastructure הזה, ובאותו הזמן הוא (המהנדס החדש) מכיר כמו כל עובד חדש את הסביבה עסקית - כי עכשיו הוא צריך לעבוד על פתרונות עסקיים.כשמפתח בא ויכול לעשות Commit ל - Production, זה נחמד וזה “אחלה גימיק” - אבל זה לא אומר שהוא פרודוקטיבי . . . בשביל זה הוא צריך לכל הפחות הבנה מינימלית של ה - Business ולהבין מה הוא עושה, אחרת גם ככה אתה צריך להחזיק לו את היד.וזה לוקח זמן, במיוחד בחברה גדולה. אתה (עמרי ב - Natural Intelligence) לא רחוק מזה, אבל אתה מבין שיש עולם מושגים שלם שאתה צריך להכיר ולהבין על מנת להיות “יעיל עסקית”.אני (רן) חושב שכדי להיות פרודוקטיבי אתה לא צריך להבין הכל.נכון, זה טוב להבין את ה - Business, אבל מה שאני נתקל בו לפעמים היום זה מצב שבו חברות נמצאות תחת הרושם שצריך לתת למהנדס את כל הכלים ואז הוא “יכול לרוץ” - ואז תקופת ה - On-boarding מאוד ארוכה, וכשאתה חושב שהוא יכול לרוץ - הוא לא באמת יכול לרוץ, כי כמה באמת אפשר ללמוד בשבועיים /חודש / חודשיים - יש גבול לכמה שאפשר לספוג בזמן מוגבל.אני חושב שהחוכמה היא לתת במידה את מה שצריך על מנת שהעובד החדש יהיה פרודוקטיבי “בקטנה” (לשפר Performance של משהו או פיצ’ר קטן), בלי בהכרח להבין את כל המוצר.(אורי) ברור שזה הדרגתי, וגם אחרי חצי שנה בחברה אנשים לא מבינים את הכל - והם כן יכולים להיות פרודוקטיביים אחרי שבועיים. עדיין - ההכרות הטכנית עם שיטות העבודה והמוצר זה לא תנאי מספיק.(עמרי) נכון - ובמידה רבה כשבאתי וניסיתי לבחון את זה, זה הוביל אותי לנקודה שהיא מאוד משמעותית בחוויה שלי, שהיום אני יודע לתת לה שםניחוש אחד  - Intuitive Codebases!כן, זה ה - Tagline הגדול, אבל כשאני מנסה לבוא ולפרק את זה - בסופו של דבר היה לי את הבסיס הטכנולוגי וגם קיבלתי את ההכשרה, אבל עכשיו אני צריך לצלול לתוך הקוד, כשאני עושה את זה, יש כמות מוגבלת של Infrastructure אבל יחד עם זה יש 70-80 micro services עסקיים - איך אני מוצא את הידיים ואת הרגליים בתוך כל זה? האם אני צריך להכיר את כולם? וכשאני רוצה לשנות משהו - בכמה אני צריך לגעת: 1? 2? 10?אני חושב שהדבר הכי משמעותי ומה שאנחנו עובדים עליו היום זה ליצור טקסונומיה ל - micro services שלנו וטקסונומיה לעולם העסקי שלנו.השלמות בביולוגיה על טקסונומיההרבה מאוד פעמים במערכת שעוברת הרבה אבולוציה ו - Refactoring - הטקסונומיה מתבלבלת, וכדי לעצור ולהבין: מהם עולמות התוכן שלי? מהם עולמות התוכן של מישהו שעכשיו הגיע, חדש, לקבוצת ההמלצות וצריך לדעת - האם הוא גם צריך להכיר Reviews, או רק את ה - API החיצוני של זה? האם זה נמצא היום בתוך מנגנון ההמלצות או לא? איך שוברים ומפרקים את זה?כשדיברנו על זה בשיחה המקדימה אמרת שזה גם כולל סיפור מעניין על דיסנילנד . . .אני (עמרי) חובב דיסני מושבע, והרבה מהאנלוגיות שאני מנסה לספר מגיעות מעולם שנקרא Imagineering

The technology environment for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is incredibly complex: 26 data centers, 18,000 users, 31,000 devices. Factor in 29 different nations speaking dozens of languages, and it’s easy to see how hard it could be to keep things running smoothly. And it’s not enough to just maintain a status quo – as technology evolves, and member nations needs change, NATO’s digital infrastructure has to adapt as well. Dr. Gregory Edwards, Director of Infrastructure Services in the NATO Communications and Information Agency, helps provide the leadership that allows for both stability and flexibility. In this episode, Edwards explains how he fosters understanding, builds trust, and ultimately achieves consensus in the organization.

GlaxoSmithKline, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, is in the midst of a fascinating digital transformation. To accelerate their process, they recently created a new chief digital and technology officer role, and brought on the former CIO of Walmart to fill it. They have been active in applying AI to drug discovery and clinical trials, have sought to use inhalers with clip-on sensors to combat asthma, and have deployed their first medical device mobile app. To get some detail on what was going on behind the scenes of their transformation, I spoke with Adam Raeburn-James, SVP End User and Infrastructure Services and Business Service Centers.
