Annrai O’Toole, Chief Technology Officer, EMEA at Workday, explores a range of topics in this video series - from the changing role of the CTO and CIO to the benefits organisations are experiencing from the cloud. He also discusses how firms are keeping pace with emerging trends like predictive analytics.
Today’s CTOs needs to see around corners. They need to ensure that today’s technology stack works efficiently and is geared to delivering a rewarding customer experience. They need to explore how their organisations will capitalise on emerging and disruptive technology trends—like cloud, mobile and big data.
Watch Video (1:17)In the last decade, the role of the CIO in large enterprises has changed beyond all recognition. The time that was once devoted to ensuring pre-packaged, on-premise technology actually worked is now better spent. Through the advent of the cloud, this is now the “service” part of Software-as-a-Service.
Watch Video (2:25)With cloud technology now a constant in all our lives and a permanent fixture on the IT landscape, most organisations are asking a fundamental question: How can we make the cloud work for us?
Watch Video (1:06)The dramatic shift from complex and sophisticated to intuitive and usable technology is transforming enterprise computing. With the line between what we use at home and what we use in the office becoming increasingly blurred, businesses need to introduce new, impactful applications in the workplace.
Watch Video (2:18)Businesses are crying out for information to be in the hands of the right people, at the right time, in the right place. It’s the catalyst to faster decision-making, cost control, compliance and happy customers. Annrai O’Toole, CTO for Europe at Workday, investigates the role of cloud and analytics in today’s data-driven business.
Watch Video (1:17)Analytics can deliver incredible insights—recommendations of where to eat, who we might want to meet and how to live healthier lives. This is the digitisation of our daily life—and the cloud is at the front of this revolution.
Watch Video (1:09)Workday was launched when the cloud was moving into the mainstream. The company’s enterprise cloud applications have gone on to redefine the way businesses approach finance and HR. Powerful applications and satisfied customers are testimony to the difference Workday is making in organisations everywhere.
Watch Video (2:04)The phrase “business as usual” is so yesterday. Enterprise computing has moved on from monolithic systems sitting in a data centre, managed by rigid processes. Standing still and maintaining the status quo won’t cut it anymore. You need agile, responsive platforms and systems to meet the dynamic needs of the business—and the cloud is a great place to start.
Watch Video (2:00)You don’t stay ahead by standing still. Yes, your legacy systems are too fragile and expensive to re-write. However, it’s important to look at new trends and approaches to managing many supporting applications—like finance and HR—in new and innovative ways. If you do, you might never look back.
Watch Video (2:18)The decision should be simple. Do you continue to rely on a 30-year-old legacy technology platform? Or do you invest in a modern, agile platform? The answer must be driven by the business need, not by the technology itself.
Watch Video (1:35)There’s a stack of history on the consumer Internet about our needs, preferences and behaviour. Enough to predict what our future intentions, likes and dislikes might be. No wonder predictive analytics is one of the hottest topics in business intelligence and technology today.
Watch Video (2:44)Predictive analytics is a game changer. Bringing insight into your organisation will help the HR function make informed, timely decisions around their talent.
Watch Video (2:14)Workday’s acquisition of Identified is set to redefine the way companies use predictive analytics as part of their talent strategy. The application uses unstructured data from the social web to provide powerful insights into job candidates and recruiting activity.
Watch Video (0:47)Workday has witnessed a broad adoption of cloud on all fronts in Europe. Cloud computing is now perceived as a proven, mainstream means of using and storing sensitive information. It’s time to get onboard.
