Send us a text There's a true art to #greatIT and we discuss the images and prose that make for great IT artisans. In the banter segment, I ask my co-host why his people insist in backing into parking spaces. And we both had some recent AI wins that we discuss, and there's a twist on the #badIT segment - a #badITGuy that embezzled from his employer. Special appearances by Duke Nukem, Picasso, and The Phantom Dog…

We ponder what it is and why so many projects still don't embrace it and use it. And I have Mark rank astronaut movies and convince him (for reals) that Die Hard is definitely an astronaut movie.

Shadow I.T. 48:41

16 weeks ago48:41

48:41

Send us a text Shadow IT is when a company allows other departments to view I.T. as optional. More of a suggestion. And allows them to undertake software projects or purchases, or even external IT resources with no, or very low engagement with I.T. leadership. The result? Increased costs, increased security and data loss risks, fractured architecture, duplicate solutions, manual data entry. And creating a culture of organizational disrespect. We ask ourselves, "Imagine Shadow HR. Or Shadow Ops. Or Shadow Marketing." Our examples sound ridiculous but IT leaders deal with similar ridiculous Shadow IT challenges every day. Time to put our foot down, IT leaders. Enough is enough. Plus, the CEO of Oreos stops by, and we also play "I can destroy your company for only one million dollars"…

Send us a text In this Snyder Cut edition of The Last I.T. Podcast In The World, I welcome Brian Vos whose job might just be cooler than yours (and yours is pretty darn cool). Self-driving cars - pfft. Think bigger - Brian discusses how close we are to seeing autonomous big rigs rolling down a highway near you soon. We discuss what's driving the demand for autonomous freight vehicles and learn what "Class 8" and "Level 4" mean. As well as the lengths Brian's company and his team are going to in order to address safety and regulatory compliance. In part 2 of the episode, we switch to talking about Brian's journey from Corporate IT to "Product IT". And we start off in the banter segment giving Brian "The Fox" a Dutch Animal test. Listen in!…

JP Morgan grows a heart and caps hours at 80 a week (no cap) for SOME employees. And David screams "PUBLIC WIFI IS SAFE" into the void, but also to a WSJ journalist who's still spreading old wives' tales (no offense to Old Wives).…

Dell just announced they're going to start discriminating against their own employees who work not-near a Dell office. That's right, remote workers are no longer eligible for promotions at Dell. So, we play the game "what if we replaced 'remote workers' with another group of people?" How would that sound? Spoiler alert - it sounds pretty awful.…
