Episode 53 | Future-Ready IT OfferingsThe Big Themes:ServiceNow's innovation: Wayne Sadin talks about ServiceNow, which Bob recently wrote about, as a first mover in the market, leading the way in creating intelligent solutions that facilitate interoperability between different applications and workflows. This innovation reflects a broader trend in the tech industry toward integrated platforms that can handle diverse business needs without forcing organizations to invest in multiple standalone tools.Interoperability focus: Vendors should prioritize creating systems that allow for seamless interoperability and integration across various platforms. Interoperability is not merely about compatibility; it encompasses the ability to facilitate data sharing and process integration among disparate systems.Multi-cloud strategies: Wayne notes the importance of multi-cloud strategies, suggesting that flexibility and the ability to connect different systems will be crucial for organizations looking to avoid vendor lock-in. In an era where no single cloud provider can meet every organization's needs, a multi-cloud approach allows businesses to select the best solutions tailored to their specific requirements.The Big Quote: “The answer for every vendor is, to facilitate interoperability, make it easy for me to do my job better. Yes, you could build a walled garden, like the cloud vendors all did . . . That's the resort of the person with the inferior product . . . I want the ability to interoperate. I want them to all think this is not a zero-sum game."

On today's episode of The New Warehouse podcast, Kevin welcomes Erhan Musaoglu, the CEO and Founder of Logiwa. Erhan launched Logiwa two decades ago, initially implementing tier-one legacy WMS systems for large B2B companies. However, he noticed a gap in the market when it came to e-commerce companies. Traditional WMS solutions designed decades ago were inefficient for today's direct-to-consumer models, which require processing thousands of small, individual orders. The inefficiencies of using old systems led him to create Logiwa, a solution that addresses the distinct needs of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer businesses.
