They have the wakeup call now; they’re all busy getting on apps, but they’re not working cooperatively.” Harris explained that there are many ways that businesses can improve their products and services, but he cautioned that there is no miracle solution that can solve everything. “There is no one silver bullet; there’s silver buckshot,” Harris said. “There’s a myriad. There’s thousands of solutions that need to be implemented, and we like to think about the one big thing we need to do. No, it’s concurrent. It’s all sorts of solutions being implemented.” @theCUBE #IBMInsight
