“We get employees involved in the decision making process. We want them to have a say in terms of which tool they like, which vendor and features they like …We believe that the technology out there is now like a utility. Everybody has an opinion and everybody needs to participate in the process.” – Prasad Ramakrishnan

“I look up to [CIOs] that are really passionate about understanding how the business works… They’re not necessarily concerned about the technology, but how they can enable the business to go faster and with the right cost measures in it, and really understand the business.” – Carter Busse
