07 Sep 2024Revolutionizing Healthcare with AI and Data Analytics: A Conversation with RJ Kedziora00:20:16

host Dave Sobel interviews RJ Kedziora, the co-founder of Estenda Solutions, a company specializing in software, data analytics, and AI for the healthcare industry. RJ shares insights into the innovative work his firm does, focusing on digital health solutions that aim to improve the health and wellness of individuals. He highlights two key projects, including a diabetic retinopathy surveillance program in partnership with the Joslin Diabetes Center and the Indian Health Services, as well as the development of digital weight loss solutions for startups.

The conversation delves into the evolution of AI technology and its impact on the healthcare sector. RJ emphasizes the shift towards making AI more accessible to non-technical users, enabling them to leverage data analytics and AI tools without deep technical expertise. He discusses the importance of structured data and data strategy in preparing for AI implementation, emphasizing the need for a solid foundation in data management and privacy compliance within the healthcare industry.

RJ also shares insights into the practical applications of AI in software development and product development processes. He highlights the efficiency gains and productivity enhancements that AI tools bring to the table, enabling developers to streamline tasks such as data querying, report generation, and user interviews. The conversation underscores the importance of understanding AI frameworks and tools to maximize their benefits in various development workflows.

The episode concludes with a focus on the current customer conversations around AI adoption in healthcare. RJ notes that many customers are eager to explore AI solutions but often require guidance on where to start and how to leverage data effectively. The discussion highlights the healthcare industry's gradual embrace of data-driven technologies and the ongoing challenges in integrating AI into existing workflows.

24 Feb 2025February Tech Roundup: CEO Confidence, $61B Cloud Deals, Apple’s UK Encryption Removal, Google QR00:11:21

Apple has decided to remove its advanced data protection tool in the United Kingdom following a government request for access to user data. This tool, which provided end-to-end encryption for sensitive items like photos and documents, is now unavailable to new users, and existing users will lose access soon. The move has drawn criticism from privacy advocates who view it as a significant threat to individual privacy and online security. Experts warn that this could set a precedent for other governments to demand similar concessions from tech companies, potentially exposing sensitive data to breaches and overreach.

In the tech sector, CEO confidence has surged to its highest level in three years, according to a recent survey. Despite this optimism, many executives express concerns about geopolitical instability and its potential impact on their businesses. Additionally, a notable decline in the percentage of CEOs planning to expand their workforce indicates a cautious approach to investment and growth, even amidst a recovering sentiment. This cautious outlook raises questions about whether increased CEO confidence will translate into higher spending on technology and digital transformation.

The cloud computing sector has seen a remarkable increase in merger and acquisition activity, with cloud-related deals totaling $61 billion last year, marking a 221% growth compared to the previous year. This surge in demand for cloud services has contributed to a broader increase in global deal value, despite challenges such as inflation and high interest rates. Notable transactions include Blackstone's acquisition of Airtrunk for $16 billion and IBM's purchase of HashiCorp for $6.4 billion, highlighting the ongoing trend of consolidation in the tech industry.

Ingram Micro has merged its Small and Medium Business Alliance and Trust-X Alliance partner communities under the Trust-X Alliance brand, aiming to enhance collaboration and technical expertise among its members. While this merger could provide more resources and support for partners, there are concerns that smaller businesses may feel excluded from the elite program. The consolidation of budgets raises questions about whether this will lead to innovative ideas or simply cost savings for Ingram, emphasizing the need for ongoing observation of the impact on smaller managed service providers.

22 Sep 2024Lake House Architecture: Cost, Efficiency, AI Integration, and Data Governance Trends w/ Ori Rafael00:19:25

host Dave Sobel welcomes Ori Rafael, CEO and co-founder of Upsolver, to discuss the emerging concept of lake house architecture in data management. The conversation begins with an exploration of how lake houses compare to traditional data warehouses and data lakes. Ori explains that a lake house is essentially a modern data warehouse architecture that allows customers to manage their own data layers, providing flexibility and control over their data storage and processing.

Ori delves into the evolution of data management architectures, highlighting the transition from on-premise data warehouses to cloud-managed solutions. He discusses the challenges faced by database administrators (DBAs) in the past, such as vendor lock-in and the limitations of traditional data warehouses. The lake house model addresses these issues by decoupling storage and compute, enabling organizations to utilize multiple query engines and platforms without being tied to a single vendor.

The discussion also touches on the significant advantages of lake house architecture, particularly in terms of cost reduction and operational efficiency. Ori emphasizes that organizations can save a substantial portion of their data warehouse budgets by eliminating the need for expensive ETL processes tied to specific warehouse vendors. Additionally, the ability to leverage various engines for analytics and AI applications empowers businesses to innovate without the constraints of traditional data management systems.

As the conversation progresses, Ori highlights the importance of optimizing storage for improved query performance and efficiency. He explains how Upsolver manages the file system layer to ensure that organizations can achieve performance levels comparable to traditional warehouses while maintaining high storage efficiency. The episode concludes with a discussion on the evolving role of data engineers, emphasizing the need for them to transition from developers to platform managers, enabling greater independence and efficiency in data operations.

02 May 2024Microsoft Update Woes, Marriott Flaw, Hacker Sentenced, Pax8 Leadership Transition00:10:53

Microsoft's April 2024 security updates have caused significant disruptions, including VPN connection failures and NTLM authentication issues, across various Windows versions such as Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2008 and later. Users have reported experiencing connectivity issues and potential security vulnerabilities due to these problems. 

Marriott's admission of using outdated SHA-1 hashing instead of encryption during a 2018 data breach reveals a significant oversight in their forensic investigations. This revelation came to light during a court case where Marriott falsely claimed to have used encryption to secure their data, raising questions about their security measures and forensic processes. 

Pax8 recently announced a leadership transition with Scott Chazen appointed as the new CEO, taking over from John Street who stepped down.

07 Mar 2025Intel's AI Chips Launch, Apple Fights UK Encryption Order, and McDonald's Embraces AI Upgrades00:16:05

Intel has made significant strides in the tech industry by launching its next-generation AI chips, the Core Ultra Series 2 processors, designed specifically for commercial artificial intelligence applications. Built on the Arrow Lake architecture, these processors promise a 30% reduction in power usage compared to their predecessors, catering to the growing demand for efficiency in AI workloads. Additionally, a federal judge dismissed a shareholder lawsuit against Intel, which had accused the company of misleading investors about its foundry business. This legal victory alleviates some immediate uncertainties for Intel, although the company still faces ongoing challenges in a competitive market dominated by TSMC and Samsung.

Apple is currently embroiled in a legal battle with the UK government over an order that demands access to encrypted iCloud files. The company has appealed to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, which may hear the case soon. In response to the order, Apple has paused its Advanced Data Protection Service in the UK, raising concerns about user privacy and security. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is planning to revamp a $42.5 billion internet program aimed at connecting rural Americans to high-speed internet, potentially favoring satellite companies like Starlink over traditional fiber-optic networks.

In the realm of managed service providers (MSPs) and small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs), several tech upgrades have been announced. GoTo has introduced AI-powered security and translation features for its LogMeIn rescue platform, enhancing customer support capabilities. Adigy has launched Adigy Assist, a tool designed to streamline Mac deployments, while One Password has improved password accessibility based on user location. Additionally, a new Swedish startup, Big Audience Machine, is set to launch an AI-driven content marketing platform tailored for smaller enterprises, allowing them to compete more effectively in the digital landscape.

The podcast also discusses a shift in the use of artificial intelligence, with companies increasingly opting for multiple AI models rather than relying on a single solution. This trend reflects a growing understanding of the diverse capabilities required for various tasks. Notably, McDonald's is upgrading its restaurants with AI technology to improve order accuracy and customer experience, while the Xbox Kinect continues to find innovative applications beyond gaming, demonstrating the lasting impact of technology in creative fields. As the market evolves, businesses must adapt to these changes and explore new opportunities for growth and efficiency.

23 Oct 2024Cybersecurity Trends, CMMC Compliance Rush, Shadow IT Risks, and Sustainable Energy Innovations00:14:43

A survey by Kaseya reveals that human behavior remains the primary challenge for IT professionals, with 89% citing insufficient training and poor user habits as significant issues. Phishing continues to be the top threat, affecting 58% of businesses, while the adoption of cyber insurance has surged from 27% in 2023 to 61% in 2024, indicating a growing awareness of cyber threats. As IT budgets stabilize, organizations are prioritizing investments in cloud security and security awareness training.

Host Dave Sobel also addresses the impending rush for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance, with 76,000 companies needing evaluations and only 50 to 60 assessors available. This situation presents a significant opportunity for compliance preparation services, such as gap assessments and remediation plans. The episode emphasizes that while compliance does not guarantee immunity from cyber incidents, it enhances protection against them. The anticipated release of a second rule to operationalize CMMC by early 2025 suggests that organizations must remain vigilant and adaptable to evolving requirements.

The discussion further explores the rising issue of shadow IT, particularly in light of the increasing use of SaaS applications, which have doubled per employee since 2019. Traditional security measures are proving inadequate as employees utilize unauthorized tools without IT oversight, leading to heightened risks of data leakage. The episode highlights the need for robust credential management and modernized security strategies to address these challenges, especially as generative AI tools change the way employees work.

Finally, Sobel touches on significant trends in energy innovations among major tech companies, including Google and Amazon Web Services, as they invest in nuclear power to meet the growing energy demands of their data centers. These initiatives reflect a broader trend towards securing reliable and sustainable energy sources, particularly in the context of the increasing energy consumption driven by generative AI. The episode concludes by emphasizing the importance of monitoring how these investments will become profitable, as the tech giants navigate the balance between sustainability and financial viability.

08 Dec 2024Balancing MSP Standardization, Talent, & Strategic Decision-Making w/ Elliott Hyman00:16:52

Dave Sobel sits down with Elliott Hyman, CEO of Myra Technology Group, to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities faced by managed service providers (MSPs) operating within a collective framework. Hyman shares insights into how his organization selects and supports a diverse group of MSPs, emphasizing the importance of understanding each business's unique identity, employees, and customer base. This tailored approach allows them to guide each company along a continuum of operational maturity, ensuring that they can grow without losing the qualities that make them distinctive.

The conversation delves into the concept of sustainable growth, which Hyman defines as building healthy companies that prioritize the well-being of employees and customers. He highlights the pitfalls of short-term cost-cutting measures that can undermine long-term success. Instead, Hyman advocates for a balanced approach that focuses on nurturing talent and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. By investing in the right people and sharing knowledge across the portfolio, Myra Technology Group aims to create a supportive environment that drives sustainable growth for its MSPs.

As the discussion progresses, Hyman addresses the challenges faced by mid-sized MSPs, particularly those transitioning from founder-centric operations to more structured growth strategies. He notes that many of these businesses struggle to maintain their growth rates as they scale, often due to underinvestment in sales and marketing. Hyman emphasizes the need for a robust sales organization and strategic investments to ensure that these companies can compete effectively in a fragmented market.

Finally, Hyman reflects on the evolving landscape of the MSP industry, particularly regarding technology integration and platform approaches. He acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding the future of MSP platforms but remains optimistic about empowering individual operating companies to make informed decisions that best serve their teams and customers. By fostering a culture of experimentation and adaptability, Myra Technology Group aims to navigate the complexities of the industry while continuing to support the growth and success of its MSP partners.

22 Apr 2024The State of Tech: Global IT Spending, Managed Services Market, and Cloud Migration Insights00:09:39

The managed services market in the U.S. is a dominant force globally, as reported by IDC. Accounting for over 45% of the global contract value in the managed services sector, the U.S. outperforms regions like Western Europe. This underscores the strong presence and significant contribution of U.S.-based managed service providers. The data also indicates a steady increase in enterprise technology spending in the U.S., leading to a rise in managed services deals. Despite a decrease in the total number of deals compared to the previous year, the average deal size remained consistent, demonstrating the stability and maturity of the U.S. managed services market. Furthermore, the emphasis on AI and cloud technologies in major managed services contracts in 2024 signals a strategic shift towards cutting-edge technologies and innovation within the U.S. managed services sector. This trend positions the U.S. as a key player in driving technological advancements and delivering high-value services globally.

McKinsey revealed limited non-IT benefits from cloud migration, challenging the common belief that cloud computing technology can enhance business agility and drive new revenue. Only one third of European companies actively monitor non-IT outcomes of cloud migration, suggesting that businesses may not be fully equipped to measure and realize the full potential benefits of their cloud investments.

15 Jul 2024Navigating Market Shifts: Inflation, AI Skepticism, Hardware Longevity00:10:32

Consumers are pushing back against price hikes, leading companies like PepsiCo and Delta Airlines to consider value adjustments due to cooling inflation. Small businesses, particularly those with one to four employees, are facing revenue declines and profitability challenges, with the impending retirement of baby boomer owners expected to reshape the market in the coming years.

Secondly, Sobel delves into the skepticism surrounding generative AI, as highlighted in a research paper by Goldman Sachs. The paper questions the economic viability and transformative potential of generative AI, raising doubts about its ability to solve complex problems. Despite optimism surrounding AI, concerns about cost, reliability, and real-world applications persist, impacting investment decisions and stock market gains.

Furthermore, the episode emphasizes the importance of long-term planning and skill development in the tech industry. Data shows a trend of Mac owners holding onto their devices for longer, reflecting a shift towards sustainable hardware usage. Additionally, European tech companies are facing skill shortages in areas like artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, underscoring the need for upskilling and reskilling to ensure long-term success in AI strategies.

Lastly, Sobel advises IT service providers to focus on sustainable investments, client education, and the development of reliable and cost-effective AI solutions. Embracing hardware longevity, emphasizing high-margin services, and supplementing clients with necessary skills are key strategies for navigating industry shifts and ensuring long-term success. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to engage with the content, ask questions, and participate in the live show to stay informed about the evolving business of tech landscape.

19 Nov 2024Inflation, IT Spending Trends, AI Challenges, and Kaseya's Free Hardware Initiative00:13:14

We dive in on the latest economic trends, focusing on rising inflation and its impact on consumer confidence. The consumer price index has seen an increase to 2.6% as of October, driven largely by persistent housing costs, which rose by 4% in October alone. Neil Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, highlights the housing sector as a significant challenge in the inflation landscape, while also expressing uncertainty about the economic implications of President-elect Trump's proposed policies.

The episode also delves into a recent Gartner report that reveals a stark contrast in the success rates of digital initiatives among organizations. While only 48% of digital projects meet or exceed their business outcome targets, a group termed the "digital vanguard" boasts a success rate of 71%. This disparity underscores the importance of collaboration between chief information officers and other business leaders to achieve successful digital transformations. Sobel emphasizes that organizations may face initiative fatigue, leading to hesitance in further investments without clear returns on investment.

Host Dave Sobel further explores the growing skepticism among CIOs regarding generative artificial intelligence (AI) two years after the launch of ChatGPT. Many organizations are struggling to scale AI projects, with only 2% of companies possessing the necessary talent and technology to succeed. The rising costs associated with generative AI, particularly in cloud services, have intensified pressure on IT leaders to deliver results. This situation presents an opportunity for IT service providers to offer specialized consulting and managed services to help organizations navigate these challenges.

Finally, the episode highlights recent developments from Kaseya and Aero, focusing on their strategies to enhance service offerings. Kaseya has introduced free hardware for its Datto Sirius appliances, aiming to reduce financial barriers for managed service providers. Meanwhile, Aero has integrated AI tools into its cloud platform, AeroSphere, to improve operational efficiency. Sobel concludes by noting that the integration of AI into operational platforms is becoming a standard expectation, urging service providers to stay informed about these trends to enhance their offerings and internal operations.

25 Apr 2024FTC Votes to Ban Non-Compete Agreements, Apple Cuts Vision Pro Forecast, Veeam Buys Coveware00:11:22

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has taken a significant step by voting to ban nearly all non-compete agreements, a move expected to have a substantial impact on the workforce and the economy. These agreements typically restrict workers from joining competing businesses or starting their own, with the aim of preventing workers from being trapped in abusive workplaces. 

Apple's Vision Pro mixed reality headset, which initially generated hype and sold out quickly, is now facing a significant decline in interest and sales. Customer complaints include issues such as impracticality in everyday use, discomfort, difficulty finding apps, and a sense of isolation. As a result, Apple is reportedly cutting its shipment forecast for the Vision Pro headset for the rest of the year due to cooling demand. The company now expects to sell only around 400,000 to 450,000 units in 2024, compared to the previous market consensus of 700,000 to 800,000 units.

27 Mar 2025Navigating Cybersecurity and AI: Insights from Andromeda Technology's 30-Year Journey with Jeff Borello00:22:48

Jeff Borello, CEO and co-founder of Andromeda Technology Solutions, shares insights into the managed services landscape, particularly focusing on the needs of manufacturing clients in the Midwest. With over 30 years of experience, Borello discusses the evolution of his company from a break-fix model to a pure managed services provider, emphasizing the importance of project delivery and cloud migration. He highlights the company's commitment to providing flat-rate monthly services while maintaining a strong professional services team to address complex technical needs.

Borello notes that many potential clients often come to them already dissatisfied with their current managed service providers, primarily due to poor response times and unresolved issues. He explains that while customers may initially seek project work, the focus is on transitioning them to a managed service platform to better understand their needs. Cybersecurity is a significant concern, but many clients only prioritize it after experiencing an incident, leading to a challenging sales process that requires careful navigation.

The conversation also touches on the internal operations of Andromeda, which has been recognized as one of the best places to work in Illinois. Borello discusses the importance of documenting processes and ensuring adherence to them, as well as the challenges of maintaining a strong company culture in a hybrid work environment. He emphasizes the need for a middle management layer to facilitate day-to-day operations, allowing leadership to focus on strategic growth.

Looking ahead, Borello expresses a desire to streamline tools and integrate automation and AI into their operations while ensuring that customer service remains a priority. He acknowledges the potential disruptions that generative AI could bring to the industry and the need for a careful balance between efficiency and customer satisfaction. Ultimately, he remains optimistic about the future of Andromeda, driven by a strong team and a commitment to continuous improvement.

30 Jan 2024Tue Jan-30-2024: MIT says humans cheaper than AI, AWS Courting SMBs, rising cyber costs00:10:51

In this episode of "The Business of Tech," Dave Sobel discusses the findings of a study by MIT on the cost of deploying artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The study reveals that currently, it is more economical for employers to keep human workers, as only 23% of workers' wages for tasks relying on computer vision could be cost-effectively replaced by AI. While AI excels at recognizing patterns and analyzing images, it comes with high installation and maintenance costs and lacks the ability to handle tasks requiring intuition and implicit knowledge. However, industries like banking, marketing, retail, legal services, transportation, and healthcare are still prime candidates for increased automation. The episode also touches on the potential impact of AI on the U.S. economy and job losses in the next decade.

In this episode of the Business of Tech, host Dave Sobel discusses several key topics affecting the tech industry. He highlights the contrasting trends in job growth, with the tech industry seeing an increase in new positions in specialized tech firms, while tech occupations in non-tech sectors decline. Sobel also explores the potential for inflation to fall below the Federal Reserve's target, which could lead to rate cuts and relief for consumers. He then delves into the challenges faced by middle-market companies, which have experienced declining earnings and rising debt. The episode also covers the release of a new cybersecurity strategy for the healthcare sector, the Federal Trade Commission's reward for combating AI voice cloning, and the FBI's expansion of cyber-assistant legal attachés. Sobel concludes by discussing the need for specialized cybersecurity solutions in healthcare, the demand for services that bridge the gap between cloud technology and business value realization, and the importance of targeting non-IT stakeholders in funding cloud projects.

18 Oct 2023Wed Oct-18-2023: MSPs in AI Success, Optimizing the Future of Work, and Europe's IT Demand Decline00:11:58

In this episode, we discuss three key topics. First, we explore the decline in Europe's demand for IT and business services, with managed services down 2% and as-a-service dropping 8%. We also delve into the latest State of the Industry report from Information Services Group, which highlights declines in IT outsourcing and infrastructure as a service, while business process outsourcing and software as a service saw growth.

Next, we explore the convergence of networking and cybersecurity. According to Cato Network's 2023 SASE Adoption Survey, 82% of IT leaders worldwide are driving this convergence within their organizations. We discuss the implications of this trend and what it means for tech service providers.

Finally, we examine the future of work in chaos and the new trends that are emerging. We discuss how these trends affect not only tech service providers but also other industries. Additionally, we touch on the three pillars necessary for AI success.
