Jay Leask – 00:00 – Start recording. Today is March 11th, 2018. My name is Jay Leask, and you’re listening to the Speed of Technology podcast.
Craig Jahnke – 00:18 – Hey, and this is Craig Jahnke, and I’m here with Jay for the on-the-spot podcast.
Jay Leask – 00:25 – Jesus Christ, you don’t go out on the fly well.
Craig Jahnke – 00:29 – I’ll tell you why I don’t go on the fly well. Twice we opened it with talk, and once you said, “On-on-the-spot,” and so then I called it the Speed of Technology podcast. Then you switched it and you said, “Speed of Techno-” … you talk about the speed of technology and you didn’t say podcast. And then you said, “Speed of Technology” podcast and I didn’t know where to go with it.
Jay Leask – 00:55 – Good morning. Today is March 11th, 2018. My name Is Jay Leask, and you’re listening to the Speed of Technology.

You’ve made all these decisions and if you don’t know what I’m talking about, give a quick listen to last week’s episode to kind of get a better feel for all of those things.
Jay Leask – 01:47 – So now it’s just click and go.
Craig Jahnke – 01:51 – Yeah. I think that’s right. Everything just … you pick your environment, there’s little wizards, you pick where you want to go and yeah, you just click it. No, unfortunately it’s not that easy. Usually we try to break things up into a plan, right?
Jay Leask – 02:05 – Yeah.
Craig Jahnke – 02:06 – We like to at AF Point have a discovery section where we discover what we’re going to do, do some kind of assessment on what we find, and then you know we ideally test that out and follow that up with a full execution. So a lot of phases there.
Jay Leask – 02:24 – Yeah. There’s definitely some things you want to plan for. So I think the first thing you really need to decide is this is no longer the era of moving everything at once. If you’re … for the sake of argument let’s say you’re moving t...
