Operations deals with human decision making, tools help those decisions. Portions of the decision needs to be quantified, human decision making will always needs to evolve. We need to think and build more programmatically.

It is not just an infrastructure upgrade, advances are driven by the application, user, and the ability to make these transitions seamless or frictionless.
