From Nexthink and the creators of The DEX Show, we’re proud to introduce Parallel, one IT story told week by week. Parallel is a fictional journey inspired by the popular murder mystery series Serial, which investigates the very real murder of a high school teenager who went missing after school one day. Parallel follows the mystery of murdered productivity that has gone missing at the high tech firm ZenTech.
Hosted by Tim Flower, a 35-year career technologist who has spent the last 10 years helping IT teams understand how productivity is stolen, both from IT, and from the employees IT supports. It’s been a journey of seeing workdays gone wrong, systems gone haywire, and the lengths IT will go to for answers. The mission started out to answer one simple question: What’s been killing productivity at Zentech, a cutting-edge company known for its efficient operations and innovation? Or, to get more technical about it, where do employees lose 24 minutes every day of their working lives?
Over the course of 5 weeks, you’ll see that answering that question uncovers all sorts of other unanswered questions, and the team ends up finding more mysteries - crashing systems, failed updates, unhappy employees, and a strange reference to something called “The Foundation”.
Join us starting May 16th and see where ZenTech’s DEX platform helped to uncover these and other mysteries.
