WHO CAN THINK OF MARTECH AT A TIME LIKE THIS? Can you imagine trying to completely transform your stack in the midst of a global crisis.

Why we care. It’s hard not to care when you read Elam’s battle cry at the top of the post. “If we have learned anything from the speed at which our lives have changed, it is that we cannot allow our ability to respond to be limited by our ability to execute due to outdated technology,” she said.
