Debt: The Hand You Hold…
Broadcast Date: May 28th, 2026
In their song, Everything to Everyone, the band Everclear gave voice to every IT team on the planet who struggles to keep the lights on due to the ever-rising tide of technical debt and SaaS licensing. “The hand you hold is the hand that holds you down!” Of course, they were likely not explicitly referencing the IT landscape, but the mantra surely sticks.
Today, at long last, there is a ray of hope for these battle-tested administrators, in the form of Deterministic Enterprise-native AI that promises more deterministic results. While GenAI grabs all the headlines for writing everything from press releases to poetry, a handful of enterprise engineers have been busy crafting a hybrid solution that fuses the generative power of LLMs, with the determinism of enterprise systems of record.
Register for this DM Radio to learn how today’s innovators are building solutions that are agile and bulletproof. Host Eric Kavanagh will be joined by industry legend Sam Yen, former Chief Innovation Officer for JPMorganChance, now the GM for Everest Systems. He’ll show how hybrid AI systems are eclipsing legacy architectures, and solving technical debt once and for all.
