IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

[04.24] An introduction to Shannon and BlackBerry Radar.

“We truly believe that doing more with our partners is a value-add for our customers.”

[05.50] From AI and blockchain to IoT, the big digital trends that are going to shape 2025.

“Some of the trends are really about: How are we using the information, how are we connecting with partners – and how are we making it smart.”

[07.23] The biggest challenges Shannon sees across the industry when it comes to technology.

“How do you buy technology that meets your needs today, but is also scalable as your business grows and evolves?”

[08.43] The business-level challenges standing in the way of successful tech implementations and digital transformations.

[11.00] Why technology is a foundation for process optimization, the importance of focusing on integrating the right tech into our businesses, and why it’s OK to try out multiple technologies.

“Piloting and testing tech is very important – there’s still a time and a place to try out some of the new things we’re seeing.”

[13.02] The benefits of combining technology implementation with physical assets, and how it can drive business improvement.

[16.04] BlackBerry’s Radar Asset Tracking Solution, how it works, and how it’s delivering more data for customers.

[18.57] How BlackBerry Radar pulls data together into one pane of glass, and the benefits for their customers.

“We want our data to be intelligent. The last thing we want our customers to do is sift through lots of data. So we easily surface all the critical events… we make life easy.”
