This week, we’ll be looking at tech renewal in more detail, with un-heard interview audio from Michael’s tour of the center with his guide, Ray McGann: Managing Director of HPE Financial Services Ireland, and Worldwide Enterprise IT Asset Lifecycle Leader.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
