“IT is like oxygen – it’s expected to always be there. If you take oxygen out, you know what happens. That’s really how I view information technology of today. The future is where technology is ubiquitous. It is easy to use and it works, and no one knows that it even exists. That’s really a good IT organization.” – Ravi Naik

“You have to start with what makes sense for your workload… You have to fundamentally design your stack, evolve your stack, and adopt your hybrid multi-cloud strategy, because chances are that all the capabilities you’re going to either build for your employees, customers, or your partners who are globally distributed – will require you to compose that experience across multiple applications or multiple data stores.” – Milind Wagle
