I caught up with Vikas Sinha, Vice President, Global Customer Experience & Strategic Alliances for Broadcom’s Mainframe Software Division to talk about the latest news and trends, his role, and business unit, and the exciting new offering from Broadcom's Mainframe Software Division called "Win No Fee". We start out with a 30,000 food "point of view" outline of what the Win No Fee offering is, where it fits within Broadcom's overall strategy and products & services, and how customers have been taking it up to drive successful outcomes. Vikas also shares the latest news around what Broadcom is doing with their Digital Badges programme, and other skill-building/enhancing initiatives such as their Vitality programme, and other Education and Community building efforts. Also discussed is the broad topic of events and how 2020 has impacted that space, and what Vikas and his team and Broadcom Mainframe Division have been doing in response to the need to pivot and address the challenges brought about by the #COVID19 global pandemic, and of course the reality that we can't hold in-person physical events currently, we talk about how Broadcom is leveraging Digital and Social and has pivoted to Virtual events and the huge success they have had thus far in doing so. Vikas also shares great insights into what they are doing with Mainframe Technical Exchanges (MTE), what it is and why customers should attend, as well as our support/sponsorship in industry events like SHARE, OMP Summit, DOES, IDUG, etc. And as always I invite Vikas to share his views and thoughts around what he thinks is coming over the horizon in 12 to 18 months with some great advice and actionable key takeaways that CXOs from board room down and their teams throughout enterprise and government can action right now as they look to what 2021 and beyond might bring. Tune in now for all of these amazing topics and more. This podcast was made in partnership with Broadcom.
