Since the end of 2019, the former SAP boss Bill McDermott, 59, has been running the software manufacturer Servicenow, based in Santa Clara in Silicon Valley, one of the best-known and largest representatives of so-called "cloud computing".
The company that manages business processes and workflows in the data cloud for other companies has had the best financial year in its history.
One of the company's specialties is the organization of digital processes and procedures, especially those that are standardized and require high computing power - such as vaccination management.
WORLD:
Mr. McDermott, there is no doubt that the rapid development of several Covid-19 vaccines was a great scientific achievement.
But the vaccination itself proves to be prone to failure, faulty and slow.
Authorities know how to vaccinate people, but they have no idea how to vaccinate them at top speed worldwide.
Bill McDermott:
Yes, the authorities are stuck on the last mile of vaccine management.
And why?
Because they lack the infrastructure to vaccinate people quickly.
