Episode highlights
“So the start of this journey actually began with failure. This was a burning platform. There were timelines, there were deadlines. And if we didn’t get it resolved, you know, the ramifications were significant” 7:47 Sam Billett
“I’m fortunate to work at Vodafone and Vodafone Group, with brilliant people, with executives who really listen and go to bat to try and get you the resources that you need.” 10:41 Sam Billett
“I think the trick there was not just doing a big unveil. It’s about approaching things gradually. It’s its evolution, not revolution, in that sense. Starting small and building big.” 11:33 Sam Billett
“I think there was a push suddenly for people who are beginning their transformational journeys that are saying, well, we have to move headless, we have to go composable not not necessarily. There was still a role for monolithic stacks. I think you’re right, the future is heading that way to that decoupled architecture. But I think a lot of people feel under pressure to get to that headless piece quickly.” 14:18 Sam Billett
“So the benefit of headless from our perspective was twofold. The first was it gave us flexibility and speed and certainty.” 15:33 Sam Billett
“It was a bit like that whole Avengers Assemble piece, isn’t it? Yes, your specialist in this area is a specialist in that area. And that’s where, I guess the you know, the real innovation starts to happen, because you’re all coming with different views, different ideas, but to build something together,” 18:48 Katie Street
