In the world of technology, there are those who watch shifts happen and those who have spent decades navigating them. Today, we are thrilled to introduce our new Senior VP, Edgar Ferrer, a man who has spent over 25 years at the epicenter of digital transformation.
With a 20-year tenure at Microsoft and a career that has spanned from the Y2K bug to the rise of cloud computing, Edgar brings a unique perspective to Zammo. We sat down with him to discuss why the current "agentic" era of AI is different and why organizations must move beyond traditional models to survive.
The Shift from Routine to Responsive
Edgar’s philosophy is rooted in a simple truth: the days of waiting are over. Whether it is a student checking financial aid or a citizen reporting a city issue, the expectation is now digital, immediate, and accurate.
Why Traditional AI is Stalling
Many organizations are currently "immovable," gridlocked by concerns over data privacy, security, and the sheer complexity of traditional IT deployments. Edgar notes that while many see AI as a massive, resource-heavy project, that mindset is exactly what leads to decline.
The secret to success? A growth mindset. Edgar points to his time at Microsoft under Satya Nadella as the ultimate example, where a "learn-it-all" attitude instead of a “know-it-all" attitude helped drive a 10X increase in market cap.
The Zammo Difference: A "Fire Starter" for Innovation
While the industry is crowded with complex chatbot approaches, Zammo is designed to cut through the noise. Edgar describes Zammo not just as a tool, but as a catalyst.
"If AI is a fire, Zammo is a fire starter. We help teams quickly demonstrate the power of AI: fast, low-cost, secure, accessible, and integrated."
Unlike traditional models that require army-sized development teams and months of process design, Zammo’s agentic experience allows organizations to:
Operate securely within their own cloud instance.
Build experiences without a dedicated process designer or development team.
Move from demo to production in days, not months.
Looking Ahead
As AI continues to evolve, the goal remains the same: making adoption fast, secure, and simple. With Edgar’s leadership and Zammo’s strategic alignment with industry giants like Microsoft, where Zammo has been highlighted by CEO Satya Nadella, we are helping organizations build for a future they can feel confident in.
"I see a future where organizations move faster, adopt more easily, and feel confident about the future they're building. That's my vision, but more importantly, Zammo’s vision."
