Luminaries - Talking to the Brightest Minds in Tech

Ray O'Farrell, Chief Technology Officer at VMware, calls virtualization one of the most non-disruptive disruptive technologies to hit the enterprise. Virtualization, or software-defined hardware, has allowed IT organizations to shift into a new role, the role of driving digital transformation by enabling agility and speed for the entire company. This is a big deal because the IT organization's top goal of 'saving money' has evolved into one of actively creating business value. Of course it's not that simple. This new mindset of business value creation has to be cultivated by the leadership and must be accompanied by a cultural shift by the entire IT organization and across the entire company and, ultimately, across the industry. Listen to Ray's practical and visionary insights that will help your business's top line results.
