In this episode I talk with Dan Pearson, Chief Technology Officer and founder at CT4. CT4 has a vision to create and distribute world-class software products that control and protect data while also translating data into meaningful insights, clear actions and measurable outcomes for their clients. Dan and I talk about how CT4, like many, started out in traditional managed hosting of Virtual Machines, client desktops and alike. However, like most innovative companies today, CT4 have evolved into a data centric company with three products in market led by. Cirrus offers back up your Microsoft data protecting SharePoint, Outlook, OneDrive and Teams from accidental deletion or ransomware. Dan and I also talk about their IoT offering Canopy and how data has become central to all offerings that CT4 do.
