Good morning and Happy Friday!

Thank you so much for making this a part of your Friday morning coffee time. I'm Phil Moroni, and I'm an Account Executive in the Information Technology Services Industry here with another edition of Friday Tech News!

What is this?This is a newsletter that provides updates and insights on the latest trends and developments in the technology industry. I am a professional who specializes in supporting IT and procurement leaders in evaluating, investing, and managing people, processes, and technology tools that support their businesses.

Each week, I summarize relevant industry updates from popular Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's), software publishers, and managed providers. The goal of my research and newsletter is to keep you informed about current trends and events that may impact your business from a trusted and reputable source. It's just information I'm sharing, and, I follow and work with hundreds of partners in the industry, keeping track of their growth, changes, and evolution so that you don't have to.

Bottom Line:As you focus on improving your business through digital initiatives, my commitment is to keep you informed of the fast-paced changes and trends taking place so that you can plan ahead and stay ahead of the game.

Key areas of focus for me are:

  1. Cloud Computing, Security, Trends

  2. Developer & Security Tools

  3. Networking & Infrastructure Tools

  4. End User Tools & Workspace Tech

  5. Emerging Technologies and Future Concepts

If you have any questions, would like information about any specific vendors I follow, or would like to have a conversation about any topic that is challenging you, I invite you to engage with me! I value feedback immensely and would love to know what you find valuable about this newsletter so feel free to reach out!

Thank you for reading, and stay digitally and physically safe!

OEM News & Updates 📰

Articles I Liked This Week 💡

  • Security & Cyber Security need to be first - front and center to every business. The #1 goal of the business is to make money right? So why shouldn't the #2 goal of the business be securing that and the associated components (aka, Information Technology Systems and Services). I think it's high time that CIO's and CISO's join CFO's and CEO's at the same table to discuss why IT initiatives deserve investment and what IT really means to the business. Now more than ever it's important to listen to your leaders in Information Technology in what they need to support the overall health of the business.

  • I called out Cloud Cost Optimization and FinOps recently as a trend to watch in 2023, and, it's nice to see mainstream outlets pick up on that. Need help with FinOps? Reach out - happy to have a discussion.
