How do enterprise customers deploy generative AI and trust it? Vinay Patel, Chief Trust and Security Officer at Zendesk, addresses this in a podcast recorded at Zendesk Relate 2026. He believes trust is key and rejects the notion of security as a bottleneck. Organisations also need to see governance as the essential mechanism that accelerates […]
Steve Brooks hosts this Enterprise Times podcast with Ultimo CEO, Steve Elsham, discussing industrial maintenance and workforce capacity. He highlights a looming crisis: up to 45% of the industrial workforce will retire by 2030, taking knowledge with them. Elsham explains That knowledge often lives in engineers’ heads, not systems, driving costly unplanned downtime and eroding profits […]
Designing software that works for a wide audience continues to be a challenge. Even inside enterprises, developers struggle to get the user interface right. Features added serve only a small group, yet vendors constantly tweak popular ones to look modern. Product teams ask small numbers of users what they want, build those features, and assume […]
Steve Brooks hosts an Enterprise Times podcast with SIMPPLR Vice President of Technology, Randall Kerr. They explore how IT Leaders can move from AI pilots to scalable, secure deployments.

Shoemaker explains that Kinetic’s journey into sustainability began with regulatory and customer pressure from Europe, where manufacturers must report the […]
Walk around any cybersecurity show, and you are assailed by vendors touting AI as the panacea to save the SOC. As we know, with all marketing cycles, there is incredible hype before we finally get to a solution. In a candid discussion, Martin Jakobsen, Managing Director of Cybanetix, cuts through the hype in this podcast, […]
Most Chief Legal Officers hide in the shadows. They live to protect the company, mitigate risk and write incomprehensible EULAs. This is the old model, and it’s dead. Shana Simmons, Chief Legal Officer at Zendesk, has shattered that stereotype. She sits front and centre to support customers, the CEO, and security teams while driving product […]
From Chatbot to AI agents and now agentic AI, customer interaction is going through its biggest change it has ever seen. But, unlike most technology shifts, this is not just about the technology. Customer engagement from call centres to help desks and beyond is a people-first approach. When you introduce technology, it must retain that […]
There is a trust crisis around the digital content that we consume daily. So much is now AI slop or fake that users no longer believe what they see. While this is a problem created by the tech industry, it is also a problem that it can solve. The solution is a well-understood technology, at […]
Grafana is expanding its product line at a rapid rate. Jen Villa, Senior Director of Product Management, leads a team that is experimenting daily. Her approach balances rapid experimentation with coherent product strategy across multiple technical domains. At GrafanaCon, Villa spoke with Enterprise Times about the speed of innovation at the company and how she manages […]
Engineers are often drowning in data for which they need answers. That often means digging through logs to find that key piece of data and then searching for answers. That is changing as organisations face a growing push towards greater observability. At GrafanaCon in Barcelona, Torkel Odegaard, co-founder of Grafana Labs, talked with Enterprise Times […]
You are rushing to deploy AI agents, thinking that speed is your only advantage and you are wrong. Without strict controls, your agents are not moving fast. They are creating a liability that will bankrupt you before you see a return. Compliance is not a tax on innovation. It is the friction that stops you […]
Corporate research labs are notorious for their graveyards of innovation. Brilliant patents sit gathering dust, too academic to sell, too risky to shelve. For NTT, which invests $3 billion annually in R&D, it’s become research for the sake of it. Now it’s time for a change. Bennett Indart, Senior Vice President of Product Incubation at […]
In this podcast episode, Stephen Brooks talks with Ajmal Mahmood, VP of Sales and CX at Omningage, about how organisations should think about the use and value of AI in contact centres. Ajmal has decades of experience, from frontline agent to technical and leadership roles. He starts by defining value for three groups. For customers, […]
For the last few years at its Upgrade conference, NTT Research has been showing Proof of Concept (PoC) models around Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE). Despite many of these looking production-ready, there has been a lack of product. That is changing. The new product based on ABE is called Salt Grain, and it is the first product […]
Agentic AI is transforming software development from manual coding to orchestrating intelligent workflows. This shift demands new guardrails and human oversight.

In an Enterprise Times podcasts Steve Brooks sat down with Raju Malhotra, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Certinia, to unpack what’s really behind the AI readiness gap and how services organisations can finally bridge it. Malhotra challenges the […]
Most companies think they’re AI-ready. Unfortunately, they’re not even close. In the latest Enterprise Times podcast, Ian Murphy sits down with Dave Shuman, Chief Data Officer at Precisely, to expose the brutal truth around your AI projects. If your data isn’t clean, governed, and connected, your AI is just expensive theatre. Shuman doesn’t sugarcoat it. […]
Artificial intelligence agents are already inside your organisation. They are writing code, managing workflows, processing loans, and even diagnosing patients. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: most of them have no real identity, no boundaries, and no accountability. They run on borrowed permissions, impersonate the humans who deployed them, and nobody watches. In this episode of […]
Discover how artificial intelligence is reshaping enterprise privacy in ways most organisations haven’t anticipated. This podcast explores the collision between AI innovation and data protection. It’s a challenge that demands urgent attention from every business leader. Ian Murphy sits down with Ramprakash Ramamoorthy, Director of AI research at Zoho Corp, to unpack the uncomfortable truth.

In this podcast, Chris Van den Belt, Head of Product Management at Ultimo (an IFS company), talks about the transformative role of AI. One area where he sees benefits is agentic AI for enterprise asset management (EAM). Van den Belt explains Ultimo’s mission to deliver EAM software to over 2,000 companies across sectors such as […]
Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) has long been seen as the pinnacle of data encryption. You encrypt data as soon as you create it, and it is only decrypted if you have the permission to view it. What makes it different from other encryption is that every operation carried out on the data, such as a […]
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are now, for many technology vendors, far more important than their traditional sales channels. The old Value-Added Resellers (VARs) have now evolved their business models to add services to their offerings. For vendors, that opens up more opportunities for sales and can lower their support load. But when you merge businesses, […]
Modern Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a long way from their map forerunners. They offer easier ways to overlay complex data, making it easy to visualise. Despite this, many users fail to get the most out of their systems, which impacts their business and society. As VertiGIS prepared to announce its latest solution, VertiGIS Neo, […]
Decision-making systems draw heavily on the data that organisations hold and have been a key beneficiary of advances in analytics over more than three decades. As AI has become embedded into corporate IT systems, it has found itself with a key role in helping organisations make complex decisions. To understand more about this, Enterprise Times […]
Most interactions with AI are through a text-driven interface. Users craft a prompt, and the AI delivers a response. That might be a text response, an image, audio or even some form of video output. But there’s the problem, it is output, not input. AI scans images, video, and audio, but not as humans do. […]
Identity is at the core of security, yet despite the billions spent yearly on identity systems, it remains a weak point. Part of the problem is the continual reinvention of security products and new terms that organisations have to wade through. It often leaves them confused as to what they should do, and they jump […]
How do we help people in cybersecurity create greater mental resilience? It’s a complicated question that recognises the pressures of the industry. However, despite all the talk, it’s clear that the industry needs to do more to help people. At Infosecurity Europe, Enterprise Times talked with Bronwyn Boyle, who, in addition to her role as […]
At the opening of Parliament in July 2024, the UK Government announced its plans for a Cybersecurity and Resilience Bill. Since then, it has been working on putting its idea down so that it can be debated in Parliament. However, the scope of its plans and how it intends to implement the bill have raised […]
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) has been around for decades. I recently spoke to David Malan, Sales Director UK and Ireland at DocuWare, about this technology. We spoke about how it has evolved from simple capture solutions to a product that captures data and then automates the processes that the data is used for. Intelligently evolving […]
Supply chains today are under pressure. Their growing complexity, intermittent but major disruptions, and increased customer demands have meant that organisations reliant on those supply chains have faced increasing challenges. Enterprise Times spoke to Michael Brandl, the EVP responsible for the EMEA region at Infios, (rebranded from Körber Supply Chain Software), Suresh Mamunuru, the SVP of […]
At Appian World, Gregg Aldana, Vice President of Global Consulting at Appian, signalled a shift in how the company sees its community of developers and practitioners. In many ways, it’s not really a shift but a change in tone and focus that will reap dividends. That shift is being led by Aldana, who is extremely […]
From 2020 to 2024, Appian saw its revenue double from $304.6M to $617M. 2025 is already on target to beat that. Q1 earnings are up, and the company is projecting an increase of 10-12% in revenue to around $680M. None of that would be possible without the changes that the company has made to its […]
At Appian World in Denver, the company showed off a range of new capabilities and how it was embedding AI into the business process. It has also seen a significant increase in AI adoption among its customers, with over 70% already using AI in their business. Importantly, that success is not about AI being on […]
Organisations, including MSPs, are very familiar with Security Operations Centres (SOC). They enable organisations to identify when a security incident has happened, enabling them to respond quickly on behalf of a customer. However, in this podcast, Matt Middleton-Leal, managing director of EMEA North and South at Qualys, explains the importance of the Risk Operations Centre […]
At NTT Upgrade in San Francisco last month, NTT Research showcased its latest research, including projects that are now being commercialised.

At NTT Upgrade 2025, NTT Research announced the formation of a new research unit called the Physics of AI (PAI) Group. At the launch, Dr Hidenori Tanaka talked about some of the goals that the PAI Group had. After the launch, Tanaka sat down with Enterprise Times to talk about what the Physics of AI […]
At WSO2Con in Barcelona, the company announced that it was all-in on AI. Nothing new there. Every software vendor is making the same claim. For WSO2, the difference is that they are making AI a first-class concept. As part of that, every application will have AI infused into its core capabilities. That work is already […]
If you want AI to deliver for your business, you need to feed it data. Not any data, but accurate data around your business. For organisations trying to get the most out of AI, that means integrating it with business systems. Those business systems contain all the data that AI needs to build a picture […]
Enterprise Times recently spoke with Suvish Viswanathan, the head of marketing for the UK and Europe at Zoho, about the key trends that will impact marketing in the near future. Suvish discussed the importance of data, noting, “The marketing success of the business would depend upon the quality of the data that one has.” He explains […]
One of the challenges for cybersecurity teams is being able to assess, verify and respond to threats. The problem for many, especially those working in small and mid-sized organisations, is the volume of data that they have to deal with. According to a recent survey from security consultants Green Raven, this leaves many cybersecurity professionals […]
Enterprise Times had the opportunity to sit down with Jim Stratton, CTO of Workday at Workday Rising EMEA in Amsterdam. In this podcast, Stratton explains how Workday’s Agentic AI solution will help organisations not only accelerate processes and assist users but will also help them transform their organisation.

Usage of AI is growing and vendors are rushing to add AI support to their latest offerings. At Appian Europe 2024 this week, the company announced its latest platform release. It claims this will provide better process and better outcomes. To understand more, Enterprise Times talked with Malcolm Ross, Senior Vice President of Product Strategy […]
One key message at OpenText World was zero-copy data. Data is left in situ, and the AI moves to it. It means no more ETL or data bloat with multiple unsynced copies floating around. To understand this better, Enterprise Times talked with Lars Rossen, SVO and Chief Architect. We started talking about this idea of […]
Trust and data integrity are emerging as key topics for the C-Suite. Customers are increasingly concerned about how their data is acquired, used and stored. They are tired of misuse and even loss of their data due to poor practices. At Open Malmo, Atul Rajput, EMEA Director, Channel Partners and End Customers at Axis Communications, […]
Most organisations consider physical security devices part of their building security operation rather than their wider IT security system. However, this ignores the fact that they are IP-connected and have technologies such as edge processing and AI embedded in them. At Open Axis Malmo, Enterprise Times editor Ian Murphy talked with Mats Thulin, Director of […]
At Dreamforce 2024, the news was all about Agentforce. This is the Agentic AI solution that Salesforce hopes will revolutionize how people work and, at the same time, drive subscription revenues even higher. It painted a future where Agentforce might replace some of the roles that a workforce currently does. However, the languages were often […]
At Dreamforce 2024, Enterprise Times had the opportunity to talk to Jayesh Govindarajan, the EVP of Salesforce AI. Jayesh is responsible for the development of AI at Salesforce. While this is a technical role, he is able to explain the complexities of AI in a simple way that business leaders can understand. Dreamforce was all […]
Businesses are being told that they won’t be able to be competitive unless they adopt AI. But what does a business need to consider when it decides to adopt AI? What are some of the pitfalls? How do they start? How should they expect ROI? Enterprise Times editor Ian Murphy talked with Ramprakash Ramamoorthy, Director […]
Network data holds an immutable truth when it comes to cybersecurity. Unlike logs and other records that can and are altered by cyber attackers, network data cannot. To understand more about this, I spoke with Karl Van den Bergh, CMO of Gigamon. Van den Bergh commented, “The whole premise of our technology is to be […]
Democratising access to data is a major challenge for many organisations. Yet, how are employees expected to mine and use data effectively without access? The simple answer is that they can’t. At Appian World, I talked with Annelise Dubrovsky, Vice President of Product Management at Appian, about Process HQ and Appian’s Data Fabric updates. Dubrovsky […]
One of the big challenges for people at the moment, certainly CISOs, is what they do about Gen AI. Do they allow it? Do they not allow it? Do they allow access to public Gen AI? Do they build private Gen AI? It has become a complicated discussion across enterprises, causing many CISOs to seek […]
The Innovative Optical Wireless Network (IOWN) Global Forum held its fourth annual member meeting in Vancouver, Canada. It was an opportunity for it to show where it was in terms of technology and goals. There were a lot of very detailed discussions about the technology. To understand more about where IOWN is heading, Enterprise Times […]
The last 18 months have seen the rise of the LLM and generative AI. For many organisations, LLMs bring with them risks and concerns over the potential leakage of data. Appian is removing that concern so that customers can focus on their business. The key is its data fabric. It helps build LLMs and ensures […]
Most organisations struggle with a single CISO overseeing all their security requirements. But what if you are a global conglomerate with over 100 business units you are consolidating? You need a hierarchy within your CISOs to set standards, control the choice of security products and define policy. That is exactly what is happening at NTT. […]
NTT is a technology conglomerate that invests around 30% of its global profits into R&D. That amounts to around $3 billion per year, a sum that dwarfs the investment of most technology businesses. It allows the company to do primary research, which means it can take years to see the research results. One of the […]
JumpCloud CTO Greg Keller sat down with Enterprise Times to talk about the challenges of Active Directory (AD) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Interestingly, Billingsley said, “Rather than thinking of them as competing products, […]
At CloudBees DevOps World, London, Enterprise Times caught up with CloudBees co-founder and now Chief Strategy Officer, Sacha Labourey. It had been a while since we last talked so we sat him down to record this podcast. As someone with a long history of involvement in the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) space, Labourey had […]
An increasing number of surveys show that there is decreasing trust in AI. Yet, at the same time, organisations are rushing to adopt it as the industry positions it as the latest magic solution to better business. So, how can we improve trust? Karina Buschsieweke, Director of Product Strategy at Appian, believes the key to […]
What is identity? It is a collection of credentials such as a name and password? Does it require something as unique as DNA? How do we differentiate human identity from machines and other operators in our enterprise when identity is used for access? Should we automate the management of identity, and how? These are all […]
AI is a tool that offers many benefits to organisations. But, like all tools, it can and will be misused. Andrew Patel, a researcher at F-Secure, has worked on several reports looking at some of the threats AI can bring. Enterprise Times talked with him as to what he has found. One of the reports […]
CompTIA is one of, if not the largest, technology training associations. It has led the industry with many of its training certifications for decades and continues to do so. But as the world changes, so do demands on training and the need for updated and new courses. It is not just businesses asking for better […]
Last week, in Las Vegas, Oracle held its annual CloudWorld conference. There was much to take in, including a hard push on generative AI and how it will affect Oracle products going forward. There was also a lot of talk about how the cloud continues to reshape the world of technology. Enterprise Times sat down […]
What is a digital ID? It might seem that it is an easy question to answer. After all, we are all online and identify ourselves with websites using a range of credentials. But are those credentials really a digital ID? It’s a more complex question than many of us realise, and to understand what a […]
The world is changing. People are no longer looking to be constrained by national borders either for living or work. These digital nomads and, increasingly, entrepreneurs want flexibility in what it means to be a citizen and how to create companies. It has led to many countries trying to create digital programmes for citizens, but […]
It is now 9 years since Estonia launched its e-residency programme. The initial goal was to attract entrepreneurs and digital nomads to this Northern European country. It has worked, and the programme continues to grow. To find out why someone would want to become an e-resident and open their own e-resident business, Enterprise Times talked […]
How do we improve our ability to detect attacks and secure the enterprise? It’s a question that has been exercising the C-Suite and security teams for years now.

Cloud economics is about scale, global reach and cost saving for most people. However, while the hyper scalers provide platforms that seem economic for organisations and software vendors, they introduce a layer of cost and their profits into the equation. Zoho chose another way. It has always looked to host its solutions without the help […]
Delivering IoT at scale is far from a simple task. It is a multi-faceted challenge covering deployment, security, communication and ongoing maintenance. When the industries you work with include utility companies, you also need to factor in regulatory needs. Enterprise Times recently sat down and spoke with Phil Beecher, President and CEO of the Wi-SUN […]
Privileged access management (PAM) has been a talking point for decades in the IT industry. The risks of getting it wrong have been disastrous for many companies. So why are we still struggling to make sense of PAM, and what needs to be done to improve how we use it? To get some answers to […]
What is the future of infrastructure in the Enterprise? What does the future look like for the IT function? These are two of the issues that Enterprise Times discussed with Brett Diamond, the CEO of 11:11 Systems, in this podcast. The pandemic acted as a catalyst for change, with companies racing to digitise their organisations […]
As the quantity of data that organisations have continues to grow, so does the need for quality and trust in that data. But how do organisations get that quality and trust? How do they enrich it to make it more usable? How do we deal with the complexity that comes with the volume of data […]
How do we move from network observability to proactive monitoring? It has been a challenge for most network teams for decades. One of the problems network teams face is the vast volume of data they deal with and the lack of time and skills to interpret it. Two decades ago, that data was generally contained, […]
SIEM and SOAR are two of the key technologies in use across cybersecurity. Both have been around for a while now, so what can we expect as they evolve? That is the question we put to Jesper Zerlang, CEO of Logpoint, in our latest podcast. Logpoint is a European cybersecurity company that has found its […]
Organisations are overwhelmed with data, but many of them struggle to get the best from it. The problem is not just about the volume of data they have. There is a significant issue with how they unlock the data and make it available to their application platforms. Enterprise Times spoke with Richard Davies, UK, country […]
What is crime theory? Why does it matter to cybersecurity? In particular, what can it teach us about reducing crime and how we rethink what we do as an industry? To get some answers, Enterprise Times talked with Charl van der Walt, Global Head of Security Research at Orange Cyberdefense about crime theory and how […]
What is a HEAT attack? To get the answer to that, Enterprise Times talked with Mark Guntrip, Senior Director of Cybersecurity Strategy at Menlo Security. Guntrip started by saying, “HEAT, because everyone in the security industry was always one acronym short of a full set. So we’re delivering that for them. Everyone’s got their bingo […]
Launched with Windows 2000, Active Directory has become the most deployed directory service around. Yet despite its 22-years of use, many organisations are worried about security. So where do you start to understand your risks and what can you do to solve them. Enterprise Times spoke with Mickey Bresman, CEO of Semperis, about AD and […]
Compliance requirements regularly change. For data teams, that creates significant challenges in making sure data is compliance-ready. It’s a non-trivial task. To understand more about the challenge, Enterprise Times spoke with Emily Washington, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Precisely. Washington has been in the data space for 20 years dealing with data and […]
Enterprise Times recently published a blog entitled “Silicon Fen or Silicon Fail? Securing the UK’s future in the tech race”, by Rob Nash, founder and MD of 4 Roads. It was a fascinating read.

There’s a shift in consumer behaviour which is likely to have a massive impact in the way retailers, brands and online merchants engage customers in the future. Brightpearl’s new report, ‘Tis the season to be Scaleable’ highlights the increasing popularity of online spending in non-traditional channels. This includes channels such as TikTok, WhatsApp, Twitch and […]
Application Programming Languages (APIs) are key to organisations digital transformation projects. Those companies that have successful digital transformation projects end up with a frictionless environment. But for that to happen, the APIs need to support that frictionless approach. Unfortunately, not all APIs are the same, and not all organisations are successful. To understand what companies […]
Incident Response planning is complex but essential for when that cyberattack happens because the odds are increasing that it will happen. The problem for most organisations is that they see this as a purely technical issue. As such, responsibility is passed to the IT team to prepare, test and deliver in a disaster. But is […]
Enterprise Times spoke with Mark Robinson, co-founder of Kimble Applications. He has worked in the professional services industry for around 30 years and has seen previous recessions and their impact on professional services firms.

While there was no impact on orders, the company shut down its IT systems, resulting in shipping and other delays. In a statement, Jon Stanton, […]
Active Directory is a prime target for cybercriminals because getting control can give them access to all your corporate assets. Given that, it might seem reasonable that companies are spending a lot of time protecting it. Unfortunately, while many organisations think they are doing enough, the reality is that too many leave their Active Directory […]
Low-code is fast becoming adopted across businesses. It opens the door for developers to deliver code faster and widens the pool of people writing code in the organisation. But what is driving that adoption? Gerry Tombs, CEO of Clearvision spoke to Enterprise Times to give his perspective on low-code and its importance to organisations. When asked […]
Digital transformation has seen organisations reap significant benefits as they redesign their technology stack. However, for many organisations, that digital transformation is still talked about as a one-off. You start, you transform, your business is a better place. But is that the right approach? Is it a single large business-changing transformation or should we be […]
The role of the Chief Data Officer is relatively new for many organisations and is, therefore, evolving. But what does a Chief Data Officer do, and how do they impact the business? Enterprise Times posed these questions to Amy O’Connor, the Chief Data and Information Officer at Precisely. O’Connor believes that data will eventually be […]
Hybrid working is here to stay. People do not want to return full-time to the office now that they have experienced working from home. Employers who saw remote working as a temporary situation are now realising this is permanent. However, for it to become effective, organisations need to look at the tools they are using […]
