The Killing IT Podcast

Topic 1: Jargon of the Week . . . DBIO

Take it apart: Digital Business Infrastructure Operations. Is this usable terminology? Just another four letter acronym?

"Digital Business Infrastructure Operations (DBIO) is an end-to-end approach to delivering managed services. It spans the entire digital value chain – from the core to the edge – and is supported by robust network and security infrastructure."

One aspect - building things backwards - just amounts to selling solutions instead of selling “stuff” and integrating it. That sounds like the advice for last 50 years.

We'd love to hear comments on this one.


Topic 2: Jay McBain sees the Future

We love looking at the future of our industry. It's kinda what this podcast is about. We dig into this a bit and then introduce Topic Three - then discuss both of them together.
