Technology groups that operate in silos tend to myopically focus on the needs of their own group, while a combined technology group with a single strategy better supports the goals of the company. In this presentation, Jack Waters discusses how companies can derive significant efficiencies and benefits by combining their technology functions into a single cohesive group that leverages best practices and security approaches across functions. They can share lessons learned and reusable services while applying a more global focus to technology development. Grouping technology staff together inspires greater focus on innovation and creativity to build intellectual property that enables competitive advantage for the future.
