“ Amazon has changed the lives of mothers, tech departments and families alike. The company’s offering permeates every area of life at home and work. The only thing that will stop its growth is losing the trust of its users. Amazon has an exceptionally difficult task in keeping users engaged with reliability, ease and trust. […]
“ With services such as Salesforce, Microsoft Azure and G-Suite, companies should pay specific attention to optional feature-sets. Multi-factor authentication, data encryption, and validation rules are all free features you can enable to help secure access and data storage. Today’s cloud services make security very easy, but your deployment needs to be investigated to ensure you’re […]
“ Swapping legacy tech solutions is one of the hardest things an enterprise will do. Beyond mechanical and programmatic changes, people’s workflow becomes the main issue. Apprehension, resistance and internal labor is almost always left out of a deployment strategy. If this isn’t addressed, it will always result in poor follow-through and “legacy creep.” Start with the user […]
“ Client data is the most precious thing we handle day-to-day. In recent months we’ve migrated to using stronger encryption and password requirements as well as updating all SSL certificates. We’ve also enabled multi-factor authentication on every service that offers this. Protecting data goes beyond access. We’ve started “whitewashing” confidential info so that it is […]

“ Microsoft has been known as a software giant since inception. They’ve attempted, for a short time, to reorganize as a product company with Zune, Surface, Windows Phone and Xbox. This strategy has only paid off in certain circumstances. It makes sense they would return to software teams and remove the linkage to products and the devices […]
Nothing is more troubling than spotty Wi-Fi. Imagine this: You’re sitting down after a lunch meeting, and you can’t retrieve emails. You double-check, and you’re definitely connected to the coffee shop’s Wi-Fi. Anger builds, and desperation sets in. Why can’t it just work? We’ve grown to expect decent connectivity at work, at home and in […]
“ We’ll see more intelligent and natural conversation between humans and voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home. As AI gets better in machine learning, these systems can learn how to speak naturally and in response to the way humans communicate. This will allow for more fluid search. Imagine the movie “Her” in real life. ~ Tom Roberto […]
“ With disruption in mind, tech teams should always employ creative thinkers. Today, tech teams are riddled with data scientists and software engineers.
