Travis Greene - Director of Strategy for IT Operations Products at Micro Focus

The IT industry, not unlike biology, evolves at a measured pace.  Innovations perceived as great leaps forward are more often usually just novel combinations of existing capabilities repurposed for new tasks.  The wow factor generated by the latest vendor offerings is primarily due to their inventive approach to solving current problems, not the revelation of some unimaginably futuristic scientific advancement.  It therefore behooves us to consider the solutions IT automation produces in evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, terms.   One such executive taking this long view is Travis Greene, Director of Strategy for IT Operations Products at Micro Focus. As witness to a couple decades worth of progressions in IT operations, he has a clear-eyed perspective on where our industry is going, based on where we’ve been.  Travis drops in to share his insights with us, and along the way we'll learn why developers will never be able to wish IT Ops away, the future role of humans in automated enterprises, & the biggest factors in making IT automation successful.
