Briefings Direct

The paybacks from designing a strong IT architecture can now be enjoyed by more than the enterprises that build them. Increasingly, enterprises are reaping the fruits of good IT architectures that their SaaS and cloud providers have developed. Think of it as a multiplier effect of IT modernization -- everyone using the services benefits. In essence, by building good applications and infrastructure, SaaS providers are providing more than applications and services -- they are delivering business agility as a service. To learn more about IT architectural best practices can achieve added benefits for the users -- at greatly reduced total costs -- BriefingsDirect examines the experiences and approaches of Workday, a human capital management (HCM) SaaS provider. Join Stan Swete, CTO of Workday, in a podcast discussion moderated by IT industry analyst Dana Gardner.
