Pega's Matt Healy on the hidden costs of outdated technology

#843: Pega’s Matt Healy on the hidden costs of outdated technology

Today, we’re going to talk about the hidden costs of outdated technology. While many leaders are focused on implementing the next generation of AI, new research suggests that the legacy systems still running in the background are not just inefficient—they’re actively eroding employee morale, productivity, and could even be a major factor in employee turnover. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome, Matt Healy, Sr. Director, Product Strategy & Marketing at Pega.


From the creators of The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström® podcast, and the internationally best-selling The Agile Brand Guide® series of books on marketing technology topics, we're here to give marketers information and insights to make better decisions.
