Beyond Software Bundles: How VirtualZ Applies App Store Thinking to Enterprise Integration What if buying enterprise software worked like your smartphone app store—pick exactly what you need, pay only for what you use? VirtualZ CTO Vince Re reveals how PropelZ is applying app store economics to mainframe integration, letting enterprises choose specific connectors instead of paying for massive suites they'll never fully utilize. This episode explores how VirtualZ is implementing the proven app store model for enterprise integration, where forward-thinking companies are moving beyond the "buy everything, use some of it" mentality toward granular solutions that deliver precisely what they need. What you'll discover: How app store economics transforms enterprise software purchasing—pay for 4 capabilities instead of 27 Real examples: Splunk connector, multiplexer, and cloud storage apps that work together seamlessly Why modular architecture accelerates innovation faster than monolithic development The competitive advantages of granular selection: lower costs, faster implementation, future flexibility How VirtualZ customers build custom integration solutions by combining specialized apps The strategic insight: The same thinking that revolutionized consumer software is transforming enterprise purchasing. Vince demonstrates how VirtualZ applies this proven model to integration challenges—enabling faster deployment, lower costs, and architectural flexibility that evolves with your needs. Learn why smart enterprises are choosing precision over comprehensiveness, building integration capabilities that scale with actual requirements rather than theoretical possibilities. Perfect for IT leaders evaluating integration platforms, procurement teams tired of paying for unused features, and anyone ready to apply consumer software economics to enterprise integration challenges. Stop paying for what you don't use. Start building exactly what you need.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
