Last week, we turned off our Zoom video and met up in person as our Lumos teams came together to collaborate, celebrate, and recharge: ?? Sales and Customer Success caught waves and good vibes surfing in Santa Cruz. ??Marketing soaked up stunning views and great conversation over dinner in Belize. ??? EPD (Engineering, Product, Design) brought the heat at the arcade - even setting new high scores in Crossy Road - in Chicago. ?? BROC (BizOps, Recruiting, Operations, Culture) sharpened their culinary skills in a cooking class, perfecting paella and churros in San Francisco. These offsites reminded us of what makes Lumos special: incredible people, unforgettable moments, and a shared vision that keeps us inspired. ??

As we head into 2025, the problem is clear: the explosion of SaaS tools promises flexibility and innovation but introduces a tangled web of platforms and user identities. Over time, this web grows unmanageable. Every new app adds a new layer of complexity to access controls, security policies, and compliance measures. IT teams are now tasked with securing operations across a sprawling, disconnected portfolio of services—without slowing down the business. With all that complexity, the question is: how do IT leaders streamline and secure their operations in the face of such sprawl? https://buff.ly/3NXOqDO
