The editor of The Enterprisers Project Laurianne McLaughlin, who I previously worked with at InformationWeek, recently recruited me to write a series of articles on digital transformation, as well as other topics like Robotic Process Automation and IT careers.

This publication has a single sponsor, Red Hat, but I consider this work journalism rather than content marketing. These are the sort of useful, practical articles we strove to publish at InformationWeek (at its best) about savvy applications of information technology.

Here are some of those stories.
