Experts In Polo Shirts
The tech podcast where Synextra's technical Experts in Polo Shirts talk about what's actually happening in enterprise technology, not what the vendors want you to believe.
Each episode features different members of the Synextra team—from Azure specialists and security professionals to developers and infrastructure architects—discussing the latest developments and real-world challenges in cloud, security, AI, and the broader tech industry. These are the people who spend their days implementing enterprise solutions, locking down networks, and testing whether the latest tech lives up to the hype (spoiler: sometimes yes, often no).
Whether we're breaking down industry news, sharing how we solve problems in our own business, or exploring emerging technologies, every conversation comes from the implementation trenches, not the executive suite. We discuss what works, what doesn't, and why—with the honesty that comes from practical experience.
If you want honest tech talk that sounds like the conversations already happening in your IT department—just better informed—you're in the right place.

Experts in Polo Shirts: Why Working From Home Isn’t Working for Us
We’re all familiar with remote working or as we often see it, WFH. We are also familiar with the benefits associated with working from home as we see post upon post on social media detailing the perks enough - often alongside pictures of coffee cups and dogs. But are we hearing about the other side of working from home enough? We know about the good, but what about the bad and the ugly?
With more and more businesses opting for hybrid working, are you against the norm if you or your business feel five days of working in the office is key? Well, you’re not alone. In this episode we sit down with our CEO, Chris Piggott and Infrastructure Manager, Dean Murray and discuss, why working from home, just isn’t working for us.
If you’re looking for some inspiration or just want to listen to an interesting story, get comfy and enjoy!
