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.

Today we're talking about where have we been, the cost of living crisis and how crazy is at the moment for the public sector, our temporary (for 3 months already 😝) studio and its "fancy" chandelier, the new technology and the old fashioned but still a beast AS/400, customer projects and Cohesity the baffling backup solution (seemingly magical) that has our experts wondering how it work and much much more... That's enough with the spoilers!

Get some popcorn, a soft drink, sit back and enjoy!
