Good morning and Happy Friday!
To start the year, we transitioned my Daughter to a big girl bed. That’s proved difficult for our mornings, so, I apologize this is coming out a bit late! Either way, welcome to 2024!
I wish you nothing but success, abundance, and happiness with those you love this year. Thanks for continuing to read my newsletter and I hope you enjoy it!

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 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 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:
Cloud Computing, Security, Trends
Developer & Security Tools
Networking & Infrastructure Tools
End User Tools & Workspace Tech
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 📰
Last year, 2023 saw about 2 companies a week experience layoffs (or so it felt). This year, I hope we see more HIRING reports and growth from a lot of the startups out there who have high valuations.
