Automation in warehouses is a top priority for supply chain operators. In the last year, the COVID-19 pandemic increased consumer interest in e-commerce, and logistics companies added seasonal employees for peak seasons. UPS and Amazon each added 100,000 employees to keep up with this demand. And with demand continuing to rise, there’s little time to deal with any disruption to supply chain operations.
If your business is growing, it won't be long until you need to develop an IT asset management protocol that allows you to manage your hardware and software assets throughout their lifecycle, helping to reduce business interruptions, plan budgeting effectively, mitigate risks, and gain high-level insight into how IT is driving success for your organization.
When I started at Ivanti, I asked around to get a diagram of process flows and communication flow for Endpoint Manager (EPM). I was given two different diagrams that were each about 10 years old and not customer ready. While not much of the communication had changed, some had making these outdated and irrelevant. I decided to take these diagrams, update them, and put them into a simple and modern diagram that would be customer ready for posting online.
Summer safety is usually all about life jackets, pool floaties, outfitting your boat with a carbon monoxide detector and slathering on plenty of SPF. I have one more thing to add to your list this summer: Security to protect your people, your brand and your data. In 2020, the business world struggled with the abrupt shift to remote work.

I recently had the pleasure to talk with Jesse Miller from SouthStar Bank about some amazing IT results they were delivering.

Sunblock: Check. Life vest: Check. Zero trust security: Wait, what? Summer gives us all a little breathing room and a chance to relax. This summer, perhaps more than any other in our lifetimes, we’re all looking forward to loosening up. As we get a hint of normalcy, or at least what “normal” is going to look like now that we’re in the Everywhere Workplace, many people are letting their guards down. We want folks to relax. We really do.
When it comes to running a Human Resources (HR) department successfully, it’s a balancing act of maximizing budget and productivity. HR is a core part of the enterprise, but it is often up against flat or shrinking budgets. A lot of time gets invested into searching for ways to eliminate full-time employee hours spent on tedious manual tasks and re-shift its staff’s focus to driving more strategic initiatives.
Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly savvy and ransomware attacks have soared over the last decade.
