Jigsaw24 CEO on device opportunities, his debt to Steve Jobs and future of the channel

‘I think digital device penetration has just started’, Roger Whittle tells CRN

Digital device penetration has "just started", the CEO of Jigsaw24 said during an interview recorded for the recent CRN Channel Awards Rewind.

In the video (above), Roger Whittle also talked about the debt he owes Steve Jobs and how his love of the Apple Mac prompted him to launch Jigsaw24 in 1992.

"We're surrounded by digital devices, and I don't see that stopping. I see us upgrading our digital devices as new things come along like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and now AR and VR," he said.

"How will a gantry worker building HS3 up a 600-foot gantry work in five years' time. They'll have air pods, and glasses. And the glasses will be telling them what to do that day or what their next movements are because of health and safety. That's just a silly example of what might happen to construction. So I think digital device penetration has just started."
