Zebra Technologies is the best-kept secret in town.

The reason is simple: Zebra Technology has been in business for 55 years and has achieved an impressive amount of success in the commercial world. Jan states that 80% of Fortune 500 companies rely on Zebra for asset tracking.

Yet, if one were to walk through a federal technology trade show, one would never identify Zebra. In today’s interview, we focused on how Zebra Technologies has had a relentless focus on replacing pen-and-paper systems with modern technology.

One unexpected benefit of streamlining asset tracking is the reduction in time to prepare reports. Jan Ruderman states that audit preparation can be reduced from eight hours to twenty minutes.

Federal technology leaders are drowning in data, much of which is generated by devices such as Operational Technology under the control of Information Technology. Logistics management is the only way to get control of a rapidly changing system.

The real lesson is an application of commercial success to the needs of a federal government that is increasingly operating at the edge.
