Everyone has talked about how much the world has changed in the last two years. But today, I want to explore how our home internet expectations have increased. Wi-fi is now fundamental to every aspect of the family home. In some cases, doorbells, lighting, heating, 4k streaming, online gaming, and a long list of smart devices are all hungry for a slice of bandwidth. Research from Zen Internet recently revealed that 75% of people are unaware microwaves could interfere with their internet connection, and one in seven regrets not switching broadband providers over the last year. I invited Paul Stobart on the podcast to learn more about the report.
We also discuss how Zen is the first broadband provider to go Net Zero by 2028 – meaning it will remove more carbon emissions from the environment than it generates. I also learn more about why Zen has also been awarded the Cisco Powered SD-WAN Service accreditation for its SD-WAN solution.
Finally, we talk about how CityFibre, with help from Zen, is extending its infrastructure to 216 additional towns and villages across Britain – delivering gigabit-speed broadband and ensuring everyone has access to full fiber.

Did you know that last year, Qualtrics analyzed 2 billion conversations and 16 billion surveys? That's a lot of data on customer experiences. And this week, at the X4 Experience Management Summit in Salt Lake City, around 10,000 attendees are discussing how technology can turn a customer into a fanatic, an employee into an ambassador, and a product into an obsession.
One of the companies speaking at the event is AMEX, and they are on our panel discussing how they are transforming financial services with XM. AMEX has set the bar high regarding customer service, and they continue to make world-class service a key differentiator. But how do they stay ahead of the game?
CX is embedded in the culture at AMEX, and they have had a program since 2007. They are now looking at how they approach this from not just a transactional lens, but a journey-centric lens. At the heart of all this is the idea that technology can make businesses more human.
Luis Angel-Lalanne from American Express shares how they transformed how customer sentiment is gathered to help improve their CX. Join us as we explore this fascinating topic in today's podcast.

In the fast-paced world of technology, the demand for talented developers and tech professionals has never been higher. With a massive shortage of tech talent in the market, companies are facing the challenge of attracting and retaining top tech professionals. However, Ilya Brotzky, founder and CEO of VanHack, has found a solution to this problem.
VanHack is a fast-growing tech recruitment platform that helps over 1000 companies hire the best tech talent quickly. With a network of over 350,000 developers from 120 countries, VanHack has the largest diverse workforce of tech professionals. This platform also provides a team of 80+ employees in 13 countries, generating mid-seven figures in annual revenues.
Born in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, raised in Vancouver, Canada, and with a degree in business administration from Cornell University in the US, Ilya's journey to creating VanHack began in Rio de Janeiro. While working as a management trainee with Brazilian mining giant Vale S.A., he met software engineers who wanted to relocate to Canada but lacked English skills. This inspired him to start VanHack in 2015, providing English resumés and interview skills to help them get hired by companies seeking hard-to-find tech talent.
Ilya has been featured in Fast Company, Forbes, and Time, and has helped raise over $100,000 for various charities in Africa and South America. In this podcast, we talk to Ilya about the current shortage of tech talent, the changes happening in the workspace and recruitment industry, and how remote hiring can help companies build a more diverse workplace.
The current shortage of software developers and other tech talents is a problem faced by many companies. Ilya explains that this shortage is due to the rapid growth of technology, leading to an increased demand for tech professionals. Companies are struggling to find the right talent to meet their needs, and VanHack provides a solution to this problem.
The workspace and recruitment industry are undergoing massive changes, and Ilya highlights the importance of these changes in the tech industry. With remote working becoming increasingly popular, companies have the opportunity to build a more diverse workplace, attracting top tech professionals from around the world.
Finally, Ilya talks about how remote hiring can help tech companies build a more diverse workplace. Remote working provides companies with access to a larger pool of talent, enabling them to find the best candidate for the job, regardless of location. This also helps to break down geographical barriers, leading to a more inclusive and diverse workplace.
I learn how VanHack is helping companies to overcome the challenge of attracting and retaining top tech talent, providing a solution to the current shortage of software developers and other tech professionals. With the changes happening in the workspace and recruitment industry, remote hiring is the key to building a more diverse workplace and finding the best tech talent from around the world.

In this episode, we are joined by Rod Cope, Chief Technology Officer at Perforce Software, a company that has made 11 acquisitions in the past six years, including his own. Rod shares his unique insights on navigating the challenges and uncertainties that come with mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and provides valuable advice on eliminating friction and ensuring successful integration between companies.
Rod's extensive experience in M&A has taught him that it typically takes at least two years for companies to fully integrate and become a cohesive unit. He shares his top tips for tech leaders on both sides of an M&A to support a positive experience:
Host a Town Hall early on with an AMA (Ask Me Anything) section to build trust and open communication among the entire team. Set clear expectations through transparent and constant contact, ensuring everyone is on the same page throughout the process. Swap out the brands early on, including building signs, email signatures, and more, as these small details can make a significant difference in establishing a unified identity. Ensure employees don't experience any friction with calendars, emails, and communication, allowing them to feel like part of the greater team. Rod also discusses how tech leaders can better prepare for acquiring or merging with another organization and the importance of understanding the time it takes for a successful integration.
As companies worldwide rely on Perforce to build complex digital products faster and with higher quality, Rod's insights and experiences offer a valuable perspective for tech leaders navigating the M&A landscape. Tune in to this episode to learn from Rod Cope's extensive expertise in M&A and discover how to successfully eliminate friction and foster a positive experience during the integration process.

As an attorney and serial entrepreneur, Ajay Agrawal has spent years working with contracts within the private legal sector and built his first company, UnitedLex Corporation, to more than $300M in revenue. In his latest venture, SirionLabs, Ajay is working to streamline contracts for modern businesses' needs.
With 4x customer growth over the last 18 months, SirionLabs is a leading contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform that uses AI to bring businesses into the future. But what problems are they solving with technology?
Despite the rapid digitization of contracts in our largely subscription-based economy, only 15% of Fortune 500 companies are tracking their contracts' performance - resulting in up to 15-20% of the contract value being lost as value leakage, which translates to $2-3T lost annually.
While legacy tools to help manage contracts exist, they usually focus only on contract creation and storage. There's a massive opportunity to take CLM to another level by allowing companies to go beyond signature into the operation stage of a contract to easily manage their risks, obligations, and entitlements.
The company is already trusted by 200+ leading organizations including BP, Vodafone, and Unilever. SirionLabs has saved its customers over $2.2B. With decades of experience, Ajay shares his expert insights into new and exciting technologies that modern enterprises need to bring improved visibility and collaboration across enterprises.
Ajay discusses the larger role that AI will play in strengthening relationships between buyers and suppliers and the key to building trust over the long term. He also walks through successful case study examples as to how he's helped these businesses achieve operational excellence and why this can be transformative in challenging economic times that we live in now.

692-why-demand-for-salesforce-skills-are
New Research from 10K Advisors Indicates the Salesforce Ecosystem May Be Innovating Faster Than Talent Can Keep Pace, Resulting in Great Career Opportunities but Challenges for Customers.
The report found that Salesforce Developer job openings outpace available talent by 4:1, meaning there are 4 job listings for every self-identified Salesforce Developer. For Technical Architects, the highest paid and most in-demand role, that ratio jumps to an astounding 10:1.
10K Advisors found that self-identified Technical Architects make up less than 2 percent of the Salesforce-related profiles on LinkedIn in established markets. In emerging markets that are key to future growth, that number drops to less than one percent. Salesforce reported that the number of Technical Architect jobs has grown by more than 40 percent annually over the last 4 years, indicating that while growth within this crucial role is significant it may still not be enough to keep pace with demand.
Market research has shown that jobs requiring Salesforce skills are growing faster than the overall market and that they pay more than jobs that don't require the Salesforce skill set. Furthermore, deep technical skills are in greatest demand and command the highest salaries -- more than $150,000 annually in some markets.
10K Advisors is a modern consultancy that provides mid-to-large size companies with on-demand access to proven Salesforce talent. Its unique model is flexible, easy to manage and delivers the results business leaders need without the headaches and over-promises they've come to expect from technology consultancies.

Relational database management systems have been the mainstay of IT departments since they were first commercially introduced by Oracle in the 1970s. But over the past decade, a new generation of database categories have taken over as the top choice for enterprise IT projects.
In the past few years, developers have started to reach a consensus about which of these “specialty database categories” can best handle specific use cases where relational databases haven’t kept up. According to DB-Engines, the database management categories with the fastest user growth in the past two years are Time Series databases, Graph databases, and Key-Value stores. During that time, relational database usage has stayed the same or declined slightly.
Organizations now track, measure and analyze metrics from a wide range of sources that provide new data every second. According to IDC, the amount of data being produced worldwide is expected to grow nearly fivefold by 2025 to 175 zettabytes per year, driven by the proliferation of IoT sensors, serverless infrastructure, containerization and microservices.
Most of this is time-stamped data generated at high frequency and in great volume that requires rapid ingestion and real-time querying to extract maximum value. This means that the future of tech innovation will require real-time system observability, with granular insights to make more precise decisions to optimize operations and improve customer experience.
Paul Dix, creator of InfluxDB (open-source time-series database) and the founder and CTO of InfluxData joins me on Tech Talks Daily. With over two decades of experience helping companies like Microsoft, Google, McAfee, Thomson Reuters, and Air Force Space Command build software, Paul has unique insights to share on how and why time-series data is going to be the biggest hurdle and opportunity for tech organization in the future.

552-new-data-shows-how-stem-learning-is
Thanks to technology, much of the world as we know it now will be vastly different in just a few decades. Sixty-five percent of children entering primary school today will work in jobs that don’t yet exist. As careers become increasingly technology-focused, access to proper skills training will be essential.
The skills we focus on acquiring must reflect our society’s future. Across the board, interest in STEM subjects is growing fast. STEM is growing quickly, especially in the Midwest of the U.S. According to findings at Varsity Tutors, interest in STEM is not only growing quickly across the U.S. but specifically in the Midwest.
Their data revealed that the Midwest is showing more initiative than the traditional tech hubs (like San Francisco) in STEM skills development. Contrary to what people might think, leading tech hubs like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and New York City are actually not the main source of STEM education growth.
In fact, the largest growth isn’t based in the Bay Area (which saw a 3% decrease in STEM tutoring from 2017-2018). Instead, it’s in the Midwest. Midwestern cities, for instance, saw 40% more growth year over year than the national average in computer science tutoring.
The findings of these reports suggest that you don’t need to be in Silicon Valley to find work. Engineers and developers no longer need to be stationed in a traditional tech hub to find work in tech. With the shifting job market, tech workers can now live anywhere.
