FTN: 10/7/2022

Good morning and happy Friday!

Thanks so much for making this a part of your Friday Morning. I'm Phil Moroni, and I'm your Digital Sales Account Executive here with this week's Friday Tech News (#FTN).

As a reminder…

What is this?

I'm here to help you in whatever way I can. Professionally speaking, I excel at supporting IT and Procurement leaders in evaluating, investing, and managing people, processes, and technology tools that support their businesses. So, why the newsletter and what's this all about?

Each week, I summarize relevant industry updates from popular OEM's, Publishers, and Providers. The intent of my research and newsletter is to keep you better informed about current trends and events that may affect your business from a trusted and reputable source.

Bottom line: I follow and work with hundreds of partners in industry and keep apprised of how they're growing, changing, and evolving so you don't have to.?

While you are likely spending your day focusing on improving your business through digital initiatives, my commitment is to keep you abreast of the changes and trends that are taking place at rapid pace so you can plan ahead and in time.

Key areas of focus for me are:

1. Cloud Computing, Security, Trends
2. Developer Tools & Security Tools
3. Networking & Infrastructure Tools
4. End User Tools & Workspace Tech
5. Emerging Technologies & Future Concepts

Contents of this newsletter include:

1. OEM News & Updates
2. Articles I liked
3. Tech Funding events
4. Tech You Oughta Know (every so often)
5. Meme of the Week
6. $.02 Observations ?? (every so often)

If you have any questions, would like information about any specific vendors or partners I follow, or would like to have a conversation about any topic that is challenging you I invite you to engage in conversation with me.

Thank you for reading, and feel free to reply or send me an email any time!

Stay digitally and physically safe!

Phil
