Today's businesses won't see tomorrow without embracing tech-enabled disruption and adapting and evolving to meet the demands of the digital future.

The path to an Autonomous Digital Enterprise—a state in which intelligent, integrated, value-creating functions operate with minimal human involvement across every facet of the organization and its ecosystem—begins with solutions that maximize the efficiency of your existing operations so you can deliver the innovative services and capabilities that attract and retain customers.

Ayman Sayed was named president and chief executive officer of BMC Software, Inc., in October 2019. Before joining BMC, Ayman was president and chief product officer of CA Technologies, a $4.25 billion Fortune 500 company, where he was responsible for the vision, strategy, and development of their portfolio of products and solutions.

During his tenure, he led a significant transformation of CA into higher-growth businesses, including infrastructure software management, security, automation, and DevOps.

Ayman previously served as senior vice president at Cisco Systems. He led the Network Operating System Technology Group, responsible for the software on which nearly every Cisco networking product runs. He helped Cisco pioneer the programmable networks arena and drove innovation broadly across networking software, which enabled the evolution of the intelligent network to support application awareness and the Internet of Things.

I invited Ayman onto Tech Talks Daily to share his vision for BMC as well as for the multi-cloud, big data, and automation spaces. He also shares how as we navigate the pandemic and head into 2021, enterprises need to use automation to drive innovation that will further business agility, customer centricity, and actionable insights.
