John Deere’s Post
Ganesh Jayaram became the CIO of John Deere at the end of May, following more than six years as Deere’s VP of IT. His team will continue an company-wide agile operating model transformation and pursue tech initiatives that improve customer experience, enhance data quality and accessibility. “The value story is so important,” Jayaram said. “We want to measure this through the lens of the customer. It’s important to talk about it from an IT delivery standpoint, but what’s bigger is how teams and customers are experiencing it.”

Meet Isaac, an engineering intern developing software for testing at our Intelligent Solutions Group in Des Moines, IA, and get a behind-the-scence POV of what it's like to work at John Deere.
Autonomous vehicles have emerged as the next big innovation on farms. There are many reasons for the rising need of autonomous farm equipment, including the fact that fewer people stay on the farm today and the current agriculture workforce is aging. This creates an increased need for skilled labor. During the most critical times in agriculture, a farmer could spend up to 18 hours confined to the cab of their machine. Not only does autonomy allow farmers to focus on other tasks they must do each day, but it alleviates the mental and physical impact of sitting in the same spot so long. “When a machine runs autonomously, farmers can monitor its progress through a smartphone. This level of remote management lets farmers watch the work get done from anywhere while also monitoring job quality. If the machine encounters an issue, farmers receive alerts on their smartphones and can make remote adjustments to which the system will adapt,” explains Noah Schwartz lead perception engineer with Bear Flag Robotics.
