Convergence - Hypergrowth and How to Get Your SE Team There
play

10/30/22 • 30 min

Hypergrowth, a term described first in a 2008 Harvard Business Review article is the steep part of the S-curve that most young companies or start-ups experience at some point, sorting winners from losers.

Companies that are focused on this stage will need to overcome many challenges, from technological tools that are not scalable to hiring the right talent and capture as much of the market as possible.

In this episode, we are hosting Mark Bayne, Cato Networks’ VP of sales engineering. We’ll talk about What makes a startup successful, how to build a sales engineering team in a company at a hyper-growth stage, and what is the career progression of such a team.

Solving emerging business needs with point solutions, inevitably creates a pile of network and security products that must be integrated, managed and maintained by IT. As networks expand to include cloud and remote users, handling this only becomes more complicated and expensive. Yet, the alternative of outsourcing management to a 3rd party entails higher costs and lack of control.


Can IT professionals avoid the hassle of point solutions without compromising control of enterprise-wide network and security? How can they facilitate business growth and respond effectively to evolving industry changes?

Today we are hosting Daniel Virkler, Cato Networks’ Sales Engineer. We’ll talk about the transition from point solutions to convergence and how it enables IT professionals with the tools to do what they need to do best and not sweat the grunt work

Convergence - How to keep your best IT talent
play

10/06/22 • 35 min

It’s 2022 and you can’t open your LinkedIn or read a news article without some mention of “The Great Resignation.” The Great Resignation shows no sign of slowing down, and in fact may be ramping up. According to a recent survey from Microsoft, 52% of Gen Z and Millennials are considering joining the “Great Reshuffle,” up 3% from 2021. 35% of Gen X and Baby Boomers are also thinking about a job change in 2022. And with low levels of happiness reported by working IT professionals (putting IT in the bottom 43% according to an ongoing survey of millions by Career Explorer), CIOs should take this statistic seriously. In this episode, we are hosting Branden Odell and Nick Holden, Cato Networks’ Talent acquisition partners in the US and London. We’ll talk about why talented people in tech are quitting their jobs, what are the best incentives and how to adapt the company culture to welcome Gen Z

Convergence - How to Write Effective Technical Documentation
play

08/24/22 • 26 min

When it comes to technical documentation, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a 600-page User Manual (like the kind that comes with a Windows 95 or an AOL installation). And, these user guides were created to tell us how to understand technical software inside and out.

It’s safe to say that the way we use new tech has evolved since Windows 95. So how do you write effective documentation that allows users to understand your software, product or tech service?

In this episode, Yaakov Simon, Cato Networks’ Documentation Manager, highlights the differences in documentation strategies for agile, service-based companies vs static, product-based companies

Tech, especially IT, has a gender issue. Even though women have come a long way in terms of the roles they are involved in, they are still under-represented and often, undervalued. Gender inequality is a pressing issue that has far-reaching societal, economic, and cultural consequences. Clearly it is “touching a nerve” in terms of what women need to face in a male-dominated world. So, what is holding women back in IT? On this episode, we are hosting Kathryn Abbas, Cato Networks’ Channel Account Manager. We will talk about the gender gap in the IT industry and how to encourage decision makers to have a much-needed conversation to improve the situation.
