From Legacy to Leading Edge: How Mid-Sized Companies Can Compete in the Modernization Game

In this session we'll dive into the topic of modernization, from all angles, including company size. Does a journey to digitally transform look different at different size companies? Do your systems, how your tech organization operates, and the tools and engineering practices you use necessarily change drastically based on company size? Do you have to compromise on engineering standards if your company is not a household name?

We say No. And we're in the process of proving it. Drawing from the first year in the role of CTO at RB Global, where the mission is to transform the company's technology top to bottom, we'll share how we're doing it. Being a mid sized company gives you a nimbleness that can be your advantage. You have more flexibility and access to partners, you can see the results faster, or learn they won't work. We'll share examples of what has worked as we've gone through the effort to get started, where we had to pivot, and how we are continuing to move through this change.

We'll also focus on engineering capabilities, and the unique differences a smaller setting brings. How to bring in the right tools, establish patterns, and build a high performing engineering organization. We believe that everyone deserves cutting edge technology and an environment to learn and grow. At any size.

Whether you're an engineer or a leader looking to guide your team or organization through this transformation, this talk will offer valuable insights and real-world examples tailored to how companies of any size can compete and win in the modernization game!
