In this episode, I’m speaking with BMC Software CTO, Ram Chakravarti, about the changes IT organizations must undertake to successfully execute digital transformation today.

Ram stresses the importance of collaboration between IT and the business since successful business outcomes today are shared affairs. He also highlights the need for speed and agility to get new and improved products and services into the hands of customers faster … something all businesses depend on IT for their very survival.
