In Episode 44 of InterVision’s Status Go podcast and the first episode of our 2020 predictions series, Derek Brost, InterVision’s Director of Professional Services joins us to dicuss the push toward “Everything As Code.” We dive into the why behind this transformation in the technology community and how embracing this idea is shaping IT teams, whether that be from a workflow standpoint, a shift in the talent acquisition process or even the overall culture.

In Episode 43 of InterVision’s Status Go podcast, I’m joined by Ben Miller, InterVision Senior Solutions Architect, to discuss some of the most interesting disaster recovery situations we have been involved in and how to avoid them, even with a lean IT team.
