Why Why DDI? – Andrew Wertkin - Ep155 Tech Interviews

    • Technology

The IT landscape is changing extremely quickly as we embrace new ways of working, new technologies, adopt the cloud and have ever more distributed workforces, all demanding increased access to our services and data. These changes are being embraced by modern business as they see technology as a way of driving improved outcomes and new opportunities. However, one thing that often does not change in our business is networking, not only the technology behind it but more importantly the processes we have in place to operationally support our enterprises rapidly changing demands.

What then, do we need to change, why and how? That’s what I chat about with this week’s guest Andrew Wertkin, Andrew is the Chief Strategy Officer at BlueCat a company specialising in the management, control and automation of DNS, DHCP and IP address management or DDI (an acronym of acronyms), join us as we look at how the network has changed, how not changing our operational approach is inhibiting us and how to plan for better network management.

It’s a fascinating chat as we discuss.
• What is DDI
• DNS, DHCP, IP Management modern critical services
• Without control and governance, you can’t enable change
• IT cannot be a blocker
• That’s not transforming it’s just upgrading
• If you don’t expect your IT to change you’re not paying attention
• If you’re not planning you will have problems
• Getting your DDI right

Andrew offers a range of great insight that I trust you found as useful as I did. For more information and links to some of the things we spoke about visit https://wp.me/p4IvtA-1Qd for show notes.
