Key Quotes by Jason

• “Life is a long journey of apprenticeship. You are always learning from interesting people.”

• “As a consultant, you’re brought in as a change agent, you’re there to fix a problem…. When you’re in-house, its, ‘Ok, what is the strategy that we’re actually going to put in place….’”\

• “There is no right tool for everything. As many people as would love to have that easy button approach – this solution will solve everything – it doesn’t because it really depends on what the use case is, what the client is.”

• With M365 “we’ve got this very dynamic data set and where does it get stored, how does it get managed, where do the chats get stored, and I think that has a lot of downstream implications for regulated industries….”
