Neither old nor new: The CIO’s paradox
Each year around this time people ask, "what’s the big trend?" or "what’s the new technology we should be watching?" But the truth is, immediately adopting the "next big thing" isn’t the best strategy for CIOs, trivializing the longevity and impact, of IT in an organization.

Growing the open source talent pipeline with HBCUs
When conversations around DEI within the technology industry are brought up, often what you hear is a lack of a strong pipeline or challenges with finding qualified, diverse talent to fill job openings. Having a diverse talent pool is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have in order to maintain innovation and continue to drive business forward.
