  The Future of EDI in the Electrical Industry with IDEA (Episode 50)

  Sep 22, 202627 min

  AI is everywhere — but it's not going to replace EDI . That's the message from Mike Wentz , VP of Sales & Marketing at IDEA , who joins Corsica Technologies VP of Sales Daniel Goffen to unpack a partnership built for the electrical channel — and 45 years of watching automation evolve from a back-room function to the backbone of B2B commerce. Mike and Daniel dig into why the electrical industry was one of the first to adopt EDI (and why transaction volumes are still growing), the "triangle" behind every data integration — trading partner, ERP, and the middleware translating between them — and why the retirement wave is pushing mid-market distributors toward co-managed EDI: expert coverage that shows up every day, doesn't take vacations, and doesn't get sick. Plus: how point-of-sale analytics can flag a trading partner relationship in trouble before your sales team knows it, a first look at Nudge, IDEA's new AI sales assistant, and why EDI belongs on the revenue agenda — not just IT's.

  Why Logs and Metrics ALONE Don't Make Your Cloud Observable (Episode 49)

  Sep 10, 202623 min

  Enabling logs and collecting metrics doesn't automatically make your system observable; and most teams find that out the hard way , mid-outage. In this episode of Unraveling IT: Expert Tech Talks, Garrett Wiesenberg sits down with Khushboo Nigam , Principal Cloud Architect at Oracle, to unpack what organizations really mean when they say "we need a cloud strategy." Khushboo has spent eight years guiding enterprises onto Oracle Cloud, with the last five focused on observability and management — so she's seen every migration mistake there is to make. They cover: When lift-and-shift is the right call — and why treating it as the final destination imports your old technical debt into a new platform The networking and architecture decisions that are nearly impossible to unwind later How to balance executive pressure for speed with the governance that prevents surprise cloud bills Why observability must be a day-one design component, not a post-outage scramble Where AI genuinely helps cloud operations today (plain-language log analysis, faster root cause) — and why autonomous, agentic remediation in production still deserves caution Catch the full episode above, or jump to a chapter.

  Scaling IT Across Borders with Jackson Square Aviation (Episode 48)

  Aug 18, 202633 min

  When a company goes global, IT and security stop being a support function and become the operating backbone of the business. In this episode of Unraveling IT , Corsica's Peter Rodenhauser sits down with Jonathan Santos, SVP of Information Services, Technology & Governance at Jackson Square Aviation , a global commercial aircraft leasing leader operating across 32 countries with a $13B fleet. Jonathan shares hard-won lessons from scaling IT internationally: why "good enough" infrastructure breaks under growth, how technical debt compounds like a virus, what boards actually want to hear about cyber risk, and how to make audits uneventful. The throughline? Growth isn't about shiny new systems. It's about fewer surprises.

  How Attackers Are Beating MFA (and What to Do About It) (Episode 47)

  Jul 13, 202635 min

  Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has long been considered a cornerstone of cybersecurity—but what if it’s no longer enough? In this episode, we explore how attackers are evolving their tactics to bypass traditional MFA protections using sophisticated yet widely accessible methods. From real-time “attacker-in-the-middle” workflows to AI-powered phishing campaigns, the threat landscape is shifting faster than most organizations realize. You’ll learn why common assumptions about MFA can create blind spots, how identity-based attacks are spreading across cloud platforms, and what today’s attackers are doing differently to gain access to sensitive systems. Most importantly, we discuss practical strategies to strengthen defenses—including the rise of phishing-resistant MFA, passkeys, and FIDO2 authentication. Whether you’re an IT leader, security professional, or business decision-maker, this conversation will help you rethink your approach to authentication—and prepare for what’s coming next.

  34 Years as a CIO: What Cyber Resilience Really Takes (Episode 46)

  Jun 10, 202635 min

  What does it actually take to keep a 1,350-person firm secure , resilient, and ahead of the curve for 34 years? In this episode of Unraveling IT, host Bush Williams sits down with Andy Knauf, CIO and VP at Mead & Hunt — a 125-year-old national engineering and architecture firm — and the company's very first IT hire back in 1990. Andy has watched Mead & Hunt grow from a single office of 85 people to more than 60 offices, navigating every major shift along the way: mainframes to cloud , perimeter defense to a modern SOC , and now the AI era . He and Bush dig into why he chose to outsource security operations instead of hiring a single "head of security," how regular MDR reviews changed his relationship with the board, the bleeding-edge mistakes that taught him resilience, and why he thinks resisting AI is exactly like the holdouts who refused to give up their drafting tables. Honest, practical, and refreshingly free of hype — this is what three-plus decades in the CIO chair really sounds like.
