Every year, a majority of US$ 3.8 trillion spent in IT projects is wasted. Still companies are following the same path over and over again that increases IT complexity, siloed data and operational costs. But as digital natives like Apple, Google and Amazon have proved, successful digitalization is all about agile source integration, easy data access as well as reliable data use.

In this live webcast Chris Brockmann and Dave McComb discuss what fundamentally prevents companies from achieving data agility and digital maturity. They argue that it‘s not despite established best practices in IT management but because of it. Reflecting on their own practical experiences in large-scale IT projects, they pinpoint the root cause of what they call the software wasteland quagmire.

In this webcast you will learn:

• why IT costs have been skyrocketting over the last years (and will continue to do so),
• why hardly any large IT migration or modernization project achieves its objectives,
• why established IT best practices are no longer fit for today‘s requirements of digital transformation, and
• what application-centricity has got to do with it.
