RE: Unpopular opinion: Cloud BI is no faster than on-prem

RE: What is the actual ROI? We've had it for a year and I can't point to a single stopped breach.

RE: TIL: You can use the human-in-the-loop to approve costly actions before they run.

RE: TIL: A shortcut in our CRM that saved me hours per week.
