Dave Benson has been in IT for the past 30 years, where he has seen every revolution from the PC to the iPhone. In this interview, he talks to Cliff Saran about the evolution of IT.

Two years ago, after almost 30 years in end user IT, Dave Benson jumped ship to work within IT at Progress Software, where he is now the software tools company’s executive vice-president and chief information officer.

Benson’s previous role was as global CIO at News Corp from 1999 to 2007. He began his IT career at GE in 1981, the year the IBM PC came out. While the consumerisation of the PC is a hot topic now, it all began in 1981 when IBM’s secret project – called Project Chess – gave users the desktop computer that would ultimately revolutionise computing.
