    In the previous podcast with Pat O’ Connor MD and Co-Founder of VRAI and Bibhas Bhattacharya Business Group Leader of Azure in Ireland we discussed how VRAI got started, the limitations with traditional training and the importance of providing authentic and memorable experiences for employees to recall training in times at need.

    Pat highlighted the importance of security and trust when choosing to use the Microsoft Azure platform which has enabled for a smoother sales process while also being a platform for growth. If you haven’t listened to that podcast yet, you can check it out here.
