3 Things You Won’t Want to Miss at Gartner Catalyst 2019

Taylor Fahnlander

It’s fair to say we live in a heavily data-oriented world. To be data-driven requires the right data infrastructure, data services, and data insights—all in the right place at the right time. It’s no wonder why we feel exhausted and stuck with what new technical solution we should adopt and what we need to keep. Over 50% of data-driven digital transformation efforts are slowed and halted because of application technical debt, lack of technical readiness, or fear of interrupting quarterly performance.



Don’t be the 50%.



At Gartner Catalyst, head on over to the NetApp booth. We will be there to listen to your questions and point you in the direction you’ve been searching for. Become more operationally efficient, provide a better customer experience, and experience the new data-centric products and services that actually do what they say they’ll do with NetApp. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been up to with our capabilities proven to:
