Chad King helps businesses stop bending themselves around rigid software. Today, as VP at Ayoka Systems, he focuses on automation, integration, and custom software strategies that make operations simpler, faster, and more profitable.

In this episode, Chad breaks down why so many companies are trapped between overpriced off-the-shelf tools and expensive full-custom builds. He explains how AI is changing software development, why tech debt quietly drags down business performance, and what leaders should watch before trusting agents to build mission-critical systems on their own. Chad also shares how his team evaluates whether software should be replaced, integrated, or rebuilt, and why the real goal is not more software but better financial performance and fewer things falling through the cracks.
