We welcome Mauricio from Mexico City to the podcast – he is an eminent figure in the ITSM and Service Desk world, as a key ITIL and SDI contributor. We discuss a wide range of applications of robotics via ITSM and ESM, plus the (beautiful) concept of ‘co-bots’ – i.e. robots and that work with and in support of people – not the dystopian view of robot sci-fi destruction. Mauricio also highlights the need for good service management as the business focus and link to ensure that this technology is used in accordance with business needs and objectives.  We also dip in a little to the current Latin American market. Mauricio also enjoys a fine cognac – who doesn’t..!
