Many legacy enterprise application vendors are now asking their customers when they want to schedule their updates—as if this is a good thing. At Workday, we ask, “Why do updates have to cause disruption at all?” Hint: They don’t have to.
As organizations and the world at large start to recover from the pandemic’s impact, IT has the opportunity to reevaluate practices established out of necessity and keep the most valuable ones.
