“ Quick cutover is paramount. Loose ends and resistance to change foster festering issues and a lack of completion. When a cutover or deployment is quick and swift, users are forced to make changes, and it allows tracking to a “done” state, which then allows for day-2 support. IT projects are too often treated as […]
Watch the guest speaker spot I had with Iona College’s MBA program.
“ Detach the reader from the pin pad. It should be possible to pay anywhere in a venue without the need for a full-fledged pin pad. Imagine restaurants with readers at each table or movie theaters with one at each chair. This would allow for immediate payment and decision-making beyond the POS. Cash wraps continue […]
“ Many IoT platforms try to use their internet connections as a means of sharing connectivity with other devices or within their ecosystem.

Everyone wants something better than a password, but giving companies access to any kind of fingerprint, retina scan or facial recognition feels creepy and prevents 100% adoption in enterprise environments. If people don’t use the product, it’s not useful in the end. Biometrics needs to fix […]
“ The most common and worst threats usually come from internal employees and their lack of knowledge or poor processes. Exercises that focus on social engineering and are internal to the business allow you to see where your threats occur and how you might be able to educate your team to avoid future problems.

“ How dependent are you on technology, externally? If your small business lives and dies by its technology infrastructure or systems, ITaaS is a recipe for disaster. In a small business, everything rides on revenue and an ability to pivot quickly. If you’re reliant on a third party, you must consider what would happen if […]
