Gregg Rock interviews George Barlow in April 2022.
We are especially excited to let folks know that George is going to be presenting two of our newest courses that are part of the Digital Transformation Specialist series in our Summer Session 1 Training Event.
GR: I first met George, and started working with him, back when he was with Appian, and back then, George was one of the first folks to bring Process to the Cloud as a SAS product. So, George, I wanted to pick your brain for our Members today and ask you what you’re seeing as most significant these days and what’s happening with the migration to cloud computing

But they can help IT and make them able to be more reactive and supportive to the business users' needs. But, are they too much power in the hands of citizen developers who are fragmenting the IT architecture? However, cloud low code apps mean that IT will struggle to control their growth/usage. This article explores the pros and cons and the right reaction from the CIO.
