Key Insights on ServiceNow, Interoperability, and the Evolving Role of CIOs | Sadin on Digital

Episode 53 | Future-Ready IT Offerings


The 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."
