How Innovation in IT Leads to New Revenue Streams
IT is generally considered a cost center in organizations. At best, we see the IT department as providing vital infrastructure to support the business; it’s part of the operating cost, not really an investment that pays dividends.

In this interview, Jason shares how Rio Grande Pacific stays nimble and aggressive, moving faster than their larger competitors. He also discusses how to overcome resistance to change and get organization-wide buy-in to adopt new technology.
