How many times are you paying for the same file?

A Register dinner in Midtown on 27 October takes on the file infrastructure distributed teams still run and nobody chose, off the record

How many times are you paying for the same file?

The Register is hosting a dinner in New York on October 27th to discuss the cost of managing multiple copies of the same file in distributed teams. The event, chaired by Joe Fay, features Holly Bossert from LucidLink discussing the issue under the Chatham House Rule. The problem lies in the fact that multiple copies of a single file exist in various locations, leading to unnecessary storage costs and time wasted waiting for the correct version.

The dinner aims to explore modern solutions that address these challenges without requiring a complete overhaul of existing infrastructure. Senior technology, infrastructure, and data leaders are invited to attend and share their experiences.
