I was catching up on some news this evening, reading about stem cells here in Missouri , with iTunes on shuffle, as usual. About half way through the article, Dream Theater ’s song The Great Debate (from Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence ) came on. I had to stop and listen. If you know the song, you know that it is a discussion about then-President Bush’s decision concerning stem cells back in 2001.

There is a lot of magic that is happening out of sight that you have no control over.

For many IT admins, business as usual is a juggling act. Job schedulers and scripts run on autopilot, applications and operating systems can’t speak the same language, and other tools—like RPA or MFT solutions—operate in isolation.
