Overcoming Tech Debt IDC / DXC

It’s a pivotal but occasionally overlooked aspect of many organizations’ efforts to address the issue of tech debt: picking the right tech partners to work with. But that choice can be the difference-maker between a risky and complex modernization effort, and a smooth, cost-effective transition that leads to both improved business outcomes and cost savings.

On this third and final episode of Overcoming Tech Debt, proudly presented by IDC and sponsored by DXC, hosts Rohit Mehra and Mary Johnston Turner wrap up their exploration of technical debt with the help of Stuart Cartwright — Director, Alliance Management, Cross-Industry Solutions, Digital Engineering at DXC. Their comprehensive conversation includes a look at best practices for addressing the issue, the benefits of working with the right technology partners, and examples of the successful outcomes achieved by customers that have partnered with DXC in the past.

So your organization has accumulated some technical debt. But simply acknowledging the problem isn’t enough — you have to deal with it too. How can you harness the power of data-driven decision-making to address the issue and ensure it doesn’t come back to bite you later? That’s the focus of this second episode of Overcoming Tech Debt, proudly presented by IDC and sponsored by DXC.

For this conversation, hosts Rohit Mehra and Mary Johnston Turner are joined by Srijani Dey, Chief Data & Analytics Officer and DXC Fellow, to delve into the role of data in driving digital business success. The topic areas include how to modernize data management pipelines and platforms, the importance of consistent, automated approaches to data logistics, and real-world examples and success stories. You’ll also learn how a partnership with DXC can empower your business to not just survive, but thrive in our modern, multi-cloud, digital-first enterprise environment.

It’s an all-too-common scenario for many enterprises that do business in today’s digital-first environment; they prioritize speed over perfection when implementing a new IT, data-management, or networking solution. It may seem smart at first — but the costs of that decision can pile up over time, leaving an organization with what’s known as technical debt. So how can your business do things differently?
