Interview: Walmart's David Glick discusses technology scale | Computer Weekly
Briefly

"When you turn on your laptop, that's part of enterprise business services... When we close the books every quarter, that's part of enterprise business services. We are involved with our associates' lives on a daily basis. We lead all the technology that takes care of our associates."
"At that time, I got the opportunity to move from infrastructure to software, and the boss who hired me said, 'I have lots of people who can write code. What I need is people who can get things done'. That's always stuck with me. I made the transition into automating systems at Amazon, to order inventory and do things like set prices."
"For people who love technology, love operations in the physical world, and love taking care of customers, you can't beat Walmart. We're the biggest retailer and we are big in tech. Walmart is like one of the biggest tech firms - our technology is used by millions of associates every day."
