Aaron Naisbitt has joined Synextra, and he’s brought with him some fresh insights about the modern end user. Exploring the headwinds that IT teams have to fight in a modern-day workplace he suggests that the improving technology people have at home, making everything accessible at the touch of a button, has given employees higher expectations of tech in the workplace. Alongside this, workplace technology has become more complex, involving layers of security thus slowing systems down.

🥳Happy new year, techie addicts 🥳 – we’re back! That’s right, just when you thought 2021 had brought all the technology tutorials and cloud-based capers you could handle, it’s time to buckle up for even more IT top tips and practical insights in 2022.
EPISODE 5 | This week, we caught up with Andy Sefton, part-time international man of mystery and full-time technology guru.

✔ Meet Andy (the man, the myth, the mainframe magician).
✔ Centrepoint Charity work – discover more about Centrepoint, one of the UK’s top charity organisations working to support young homeless people.
✔ Insights from an industry legend whose first job was replacing “OM” (Office Machinery – that’s “typewriters” to the rest of us) with IT equipment in 1986.
As always, if you enjoyed the video, please like, subscribe, and click the bell.
