Themes for the New Year

Good day,

I expect (and hope) that you have noticed some common themes in our newsletter, events, and blog posts. Working with small and midsize businesses across dozens of industries, we see common trends and emerging issues. We focus on these trends and issues to help keep you informed and ahead of the curve.

Expect to continue focusing on security, privacy, and compliance. Cyber attacks are not going away, and a new wave of laws and regulations are coming at both the state and federal levels.

We see opportunities to improve your ROI on IT service spending and investments. How you utilize, manage, and support your IT services -- on-premise and cloud -- impacts budgets, productivity, and business performance. SaaSOps and managed cloud services do more than create affordable frameworks to manage and support your IT services. They improve your utilization and enhance the business value of your services and spending.

Empower your team; Enable your business; Achieve your results.

Have a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season.

Thank you for being part of our community,

Allen Falcon, CEO
