Re: SD-WAN GTT Deal
@DHagra:
Great points, as always.
Can't agree any more with you. With no human intelligence and intervention put into play, AI alone won't be much of value add to any initiative. In this context i recall what i heard from my computer teacher when i was in early education, 'Computer is dumb, it just works based on human intelligence'. That time it sounded funny but later on it started making sense.

@ms.akkineni, thanks!
I like your view on that. I believe that the future will be AI augmented by the human intelligence. We are going to have to learn new ways of thinking and learning.

@DHagar:
Thanks, most of the times that answer may act as an interim solution for the situation which may 'fail fast' in near term. That is a proof for not vetting out all details and analyzing what exactly is needed. Once those details are figured out laying out potential practical options for solutions is the first key for the team. Then it is up to the solution team's leadership to take that to business leadership and explain every possible option with pros and cons so business can make an educated decision. This is like having business participate all through and in fact they own the decision. I believe this model makes more practical sense and this works perfect as business has clear set of expectations. They also feel more ownership and accontability.

Re: SD-WAN GTT Deal
When I see such reporting, my concerns mount (and all within TT are well aware of it)--how we deal with it is the ultimate challenge (plz note: registration may be required):

Re: SD-WAN GTT Deal
@ms.akkineni, great model for success! If it does not produce value and create a true business proposition, it is less likely to achieve its objectives and get the full buy-in of what is needed and all stakeholders.

Re: SD-WAN GTT Deal
@mpouraryan, yes, thanks for sharing! And, yes, your concerns are certainly valid, IF we do nothing. Staying informed, which TT and the members contribute to, is the best protection against true progress and a positive outcome from the deployment of technology.

Re: SD-WAN GTT Deal
Awarness is the first step--the new key point is to be proactive enough to go thru the initiative to have it tended to.
Re: SD-WAN GTT Deal
@DHagar:
Thanks, I am glad that our thoughts align.
Majority of business stakeholders these days are tech aware and they understand pros and cons of solutions that we bring to the table. That is very helpful for IT. So business teams are very particular about which option yields to better business operational efficiency before making a decision. and that is teh right way, afterall all IT solutions must be to add efficiency and ease to business operations of any organization.

Re: SD-WAN GTT Deal
@mpouraryan, you got it! That is why it takes leaders; others need not apply.

Re: SD-WAN GTT Deal
@ms.akkineni, good review of the process.
Yes, it becomes a cycle where business is able to improve processes and create new value. It truly becomes a matter now of applications for either business process improvement and/or innovation and new model development. All adds new value and makes IT a strategic capability and a necessity, rather than an optional purchase.
