Very key. So, you set up the right infrastructure in a secure place to let people iterate in a safe place—that takes a lot of architecture. You don't want stuff being put into production that these guys built and break. Who gets the first call? It's IT.  So, I really feel like our role is changing from doing more building and more enabling and more architecture.”Timestamps:*(00:00) - Impact of AI on business decisions*(04:15) - Empowering citizen developers*(07:20) - Real-world automation examples*(20:05) - Navigating point solution vendors*(23:35) - Democratizing automation with training and metrics*(31:15) - Future trends and CIO secretsLinks & Resources:Ian Faison on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ianfaisonCarter Busse on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/carterbusseLearn more about Workato: www.workato.comHungry for more tech talk?
