About The Catalyst by Softchoice
A documentary-style podcast about how IT leaders tackle high-stakes transformations.

These aren't polished case studies. These are authentic accounts from IT professionals navigating the same impossible gaps between expectations and resources that you face every day. From Softchoice, a World Wide Technology company.
