Show Notes

In the fifth and last episode in the Interoperability series, we zero in on what sustainable technology actually means. After a prototype or dashboard is built and a program ends, what happens to the technology? Interoperability adds a new layer of complexity to this question. Connecting data and systems requires sustained investment in infrastructure, storage, hardware, software, and human capacity – often across multiple systems at once. A vulnerability in one system can impact the whole ecosystem. This episode discusses what we need to be thinking about to build technology that lasts.
