From Nexthink and the creators of The DEX Show, this is Parallel: One IT story told week by week.

Parallel is a fictional journey inspired by the popular murder mystery series Serial, which investigates the very real murder of a high school teenager who went missing after school one day. Parallel investigates the mystery of murdered enterprise productivity, now missing at one high tech firm.

This mission started out to answer one simple question: What’s been killing productivity at Zentech? Or, to get more technical about it, where do employees lose 24 minutes every day of their working lives? And what mysteries lie in the darkness of a complex enterprise, waiting to be discovered and eliminated.  

In our first episode, we uncovered the mysterious theft of productivity at Zentech. A rogue script, phantom processes, and employees caught in the crossfire. But what if this wasn’t just bad luck, or a simple system failure? What if it was deliberate? In this episode, we follow a trail left by a single vandal. A criminal that leaves no trace behind. One known only as 'The Undocumented Change.' What we uncover may change everything we thought we knew about Zentech's crisis—and possibly, about the very foundation of workplace technology itself.

Starring the Reality Bytes crew: Tim Flower, Tom McGrath, Meghan Brake, Oriana Ott, Sean Malvey, Kathryn Shea, and Ella Drimer.
