Podcasts about vendors

The core structural shift highlighted in this episode is the commoditization of AI model platforms and concurrent consolidation at the vendor and platform layer, forcing Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to move their value proposition above reselling models to orchestrating, governing, and verifying AI outputs. The discussion references the rising concentration and valuation of platforms such as NinjaOne—a founder-led, profitable RMM platform with a $12.3 billion valuation and 70% year-over-year growth—and Pax8 building business toolkits that draw more operational functions onto their rails. At the same time, major AI developers like OpenAI are entering the channel more directly by launching partner programs aimed at MSPs and consultants. The most consequential development is the confirmed shift from reselling AI models to managing their outputs and risks. Glean surveyed 6,000 digital workers and found that while AI delivers approximately 11 hours of weekly time savings, nearly 6.4 hours are reclaimed by “bot sitting”—the human intervention required to supply context, verify, and correct AI outputs. This hidden labor raises a risk scenario: two-thirds of workers admit to releasing unchecked AI outputs, and Ivanti found that only 42% of IT environments actually have a named owner for each AI agent, despite 85% claiming so—a 43-point gap in accountability. Asana and Deloitte further reinforce the issue, reporting frequent cost overruns and unmanaged autonomous AI deployments among enterprise and SMB environments. Supporting developments underscore this governance and accountability gap. TechCrunch cited that ChatGPT's AI market share has dropped below 50% as the field becomes more interchangeable and less differentiated by underlying model. Vendors such as Anthropic and OpenAI, recognizing model commoditization, are seeking revenue through high-volume partner channels, blurring the lines between vendor and channel competitor. According to Asana, more than 80% of UK IT leaders encountered unplanned AI costs, and over half reported business harm from autonomous AI actions, shifting operational and liability risks squarely onto MSPs and IT service providers. Operationally, these trends compel MSPs to take explicit ownership of the orchestration and governance layer, rather than relying on tool reselling. The transcript advises mapping every AI-driven decision or output that reaches client endpoints and identifying who verifies these outputs before customer exposure. Failing to address these governance blanks does not avoid work but shifts it to unbilled, post-incident cleanup, often with financial, legal, or compliance consequences. Effective MSPs will need to price, document, and regularly review their verification, orchestration, and risk assumption, positioning these as standalone, billable services to manage risk and maintain margin as AI platforms commoditize and vendor dependencies rise. 00:00 Bigger Platforms, Unwatched AI 03:44 The Vendor Walks Into the Channel 05:56 Govern It or Absorb It 08:52 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  ScalePad  Sign up for the SMB Online Conference: www.smbonlineconference.com

Vendors supplying AI-driven technologies are experiencing sustained margin pressure from high operational costs and underwhelming business-level returns, leading to the rapid creation of new product categories that are pushed into the MSP channel. Companies such as Atomic Work, Silverfort, and Guards are releasing governance tools for managing AI agents, while Connect Secure is offering patch management products targeted at MSPs. These launches are not indicators of competitive differentiation, but of structural cost challenges being passed from vendors to their partners.   Business media reports and internal industry data reveal that while individual productivity from AI implementations increases—for example, by accelerating engineer output—the promised business-level gains in productivity, revenue, and profit have not materialized to the extent vendors projected. According to analysis cited by Dave Sobel, high operational costs are forcing large firms like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Uber to restrict or cap AI usage internally, reflecting an industry-wide retreat from premium pricing models due to an unclear return on investment at the organizational level.   Additional developments reinforce this margin-driven shift. The federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has mandated 72-hour patching of high-risk vulnerabilities, underscoring heightened compliance requirements. Simultaneously, vendors are accelerating the rollout of governance, identity, and patch velocity tools. However, a study analyzing over 13,000 US MSPs found that those surpassing $1 million in revenue are distinguished by market positioning, online visibility, and business maturity, not by the breadth or novelty of their toolsets.   For operators, the implication is clear: stacking up new vendor products is now a baseline requirement rather than a path to competitive advantage. Firms that rely solely on vendor frameworks and toolsets risk absorbing more complexity without improving margin or differentiation. Practical separation will come from owning the "judgment layer"—defining, governing, and pricing how AI functions within client environments—rather than reselling tools. Positioning, documented governance, and clear operational standards will be more defensible than investing exclusively in vendor-driven offerings. 00:00 Manufactured Urgency  03:58 The Cost Confession 06:09 Out-Buy vs. Out-Position 08:35 Why Do We Care?    Supported by:  Nerdio  Sign up for the SMB Online Conference:  www.smbonlineconference.com

The Department of Homeland Security is pushing cyber modernization across civilian agencies through CISA programs such as zero trust implementation, Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation, and Trusted Internet Connections 3.0. Budget requests have kept CISA funding near $3 billion, supporting multi-year investments in detection, response, and workforce. Leadership from Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, CISA Director Jen Easterly, and DHS CIO Eric Hysen emphasizes joint defense, binding directives, and cross-component coordination. Workforce constraints persist despite the Cyber Talent Management System, prompting greater use of training and managed services. Acquisition relies on vehicles like FirstSource III, PACTS III, GSA MAS, NASA SEWP, and CDM DEFEND task orders. Compliance requirements now center on OMB secure software guidance, NIST control baselines, FIPS 140-3, and FedRAMP. Vendors that map capabilities to CISA's Zero Trust Maturity Model and prepare attestations and authorizations can better align to agency buying priorities.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

A mass extinction event approaches, but not because of a meteor or global warming. The culprit this time is AI, and in particular, Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Claude. In their crosshairs are a slew of vendors selling analytical functionality: dashboards, visualizations, analyses, semantic layers, OLAP cubes and the like. For decades, these vendors have dominated enterprise decision-making, commanding 5, 6, even 7-figure pricetags to provide the scaffolding needed for insights. The LLMs now threaten that entire landscape, disrupting the foundation of data-driven workflows. True, the results of GenAI can be inaccurate, but their ease of use and relatively low cost will trump those concerns. Check out this hard-hitting session to hear DM Radio Host, Eric Kavanagh explain what's happening and why it matters to analysts everywhere. He'll examine the impact on the analytics industry, and explore ways that these vendors can stay relevant. He'll also offer advice for businesses looking to remain data-driven, and why data prep is where the action will be.

Platform vendors are transferring liability and delivery responsibility for AI services onto MSPs by building structured AI practice frameworks, training programs, and service delivery methodologies. This approach is motivated by mounting economic pressures on vendors, as seen with large-scale infrastructure investments and the need for sustainable revenue models. PAX8, Ingram Micro Cloud, ConnectWise, and others are formalizing AI partner programs that enroll MSPs to deliver vendor-defined services, while shifting operational complexity and accountability downstream. The episode highlights PAX8's Managed Intelligence initiative, aimed at helping small and midsize MSPs deliver AI services to SMB clients with minimal prior expertise. PAX8 cites its own research, which notes that 62% of SMBs view AI as essential for competitiveness and 74% plan to increase AI spending in the coming year. The economics of AI scaling are underscored by data on projected data center buildout costs—up to $15 trillion by 2030 and requiring $1.75 trillion annually just to maintain. OpenAI's public offering, with an $850 billion valuation and $180 billion in funding, is attributed to the need for capital that private markets can no longer supply, prompting vendors to leverage channel partners for both revenue generation and market validation. Supporting developments include expanded programs at the distribution and platform levels: a PAX8-Nocdoc partnership providing managed NOC/SOC services for smaller MSPs, Ingram Micro Cloud's collaboration with PartnerStack to formalize AI service delivery infrastructure, and ConnectWise's introduction of an AI-native platform for predictive and autonomous IT operations. Research from Omnia and the IBM Institute for Business Value indicates underutilization of vendor market development funds and widespread deployment of AI frameworks despite only 11% of tech leaders feeling prepared—demonstrating the gap between vendor offerings and operational readiness. The implications for MSPs are significant. By enrolling in these vendor-driven AI programs, providers take on delivery risk, contractual accountability, and potential liability for AI outcomes they did not design. The structural split is clear: MSPs can either create and govern their own AI methodologies—pricing accountability as a service—or become vehicles for vendor frameworks, absorbing complexity without full compensation or control. Practical recommendations include updating service agreements for AI-related risks, building internal governance around AI deployments, and not allowing vendor or community consensus to substitute for explicit accountability for outcomes. 00:00 Channel AI Shift  03:59 Enrollment, Not Enablement 06:55 Methodology vs. Liability 10:01 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  Zero Networks  CometBackup 

Most business owners understand the importance of confidentiality during a sale process. What many do not fully appreciate is just how fragile that confidentiality can be once the business is taken to market. A single conversation, unusual document request, or shift in behavior can create concern among employees, uncertainty among customers, and speculation among vendors or competitors. And once uncertainty enters the picture, business value can begin eroding long before a transaction ever closes. In this episode, Greg Kovsky joins Pat Ennis and Walter Deyhle to discuss how business owners can explore a sale while protecting the relationships and stability that make their company valuable in the first place. Drawing on more than three decades of M&A experience and over 300 completed transactions, Greg shares practical insights into confidentiality, buyer screening, information control, and the realities of taking a business to market without creating unnecessary disruption. Whether you're considering a sale in the near future or simply want to understand how the process works, this conversation provides valuable perspective on preserving trust, protecting value, and maintaining leverage throughout the transaction process. In This Episode, We Discuss:What "selling in stealth mode" actually means in practiceWhy confidentiality is critical to preserving business valueCommon mistakes that unintentionally expose a sale processHow experienced advisors screen potential buyersThe role and limitations of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)When employees, customers, and vendors should be informedHow to protect key relationships during due diligenceWhat a well-managed confidential sale process looks likePractical advice for owners considering a future saleGuest Gregory KovskyPresident & CEO, International Business Associates (IBA) Greg is President & CEO of International Business Associates, the Pacific Northwest's oldest and largest business brokerage firm.

He is the Senior Vice President for Risks and Insurance at Sonepar, and he is the President of AMRAE, the Association for the Management of Risks and Insurance in Enterprises. [3:04] François Beaume is here to discuss the 2026 RMIS Panorama, published by AMRAE, in partnership with EY. Panorama is free and publicly available. [3:14] Panorama provides an in-depth look at the organizations and professionals who are using risk management information systems, how well they've adapted, and guidance for those seeking their first or newest framework. It's always great to speak with him. Let's get to it! [3:28] Interview! François Beaume, Welcome Back to RIMScast! [3:36] François has been Chairman at AMRAE for a year and will be for two more years. Because of his role at AMRAE, Justin wanted to have him on the show to speak about this year's RMIS Panorama. [4:04] Justin mentions a difference between last year's RMIS Panorama and this year's RMIS Panorama. Last year, AI felt like an emerging capability. This year's report shows a 20-point jump in planned or actual AI integration and an 8-point increase in functional coverage. [4:19] At the same time, people aren't always happy with AI. The satisfaction part is still a little bit behind. Justin asks, Are we entering a phase where expectations are outpacing execution? [4:32] François says, Yes, probably. AI has moved faster in CEOs' and leaders' minds than in the organization. Everyone wants the data, governance, and skills. Educating the workforce users takes time. The ambition was there, but the "plumbing" is catching up. [5:11] François says that is what is being reflected in the 2026 RMIS Panorama's deep dive on AI. [5:29] François says he uses AI all day long for various things. As a risk manager, he uses it to increase his efficiency and daily productivity. He thinks that is quite common. He says it's also what we need for faster and better analysis. [6:00] Daily analysis from an AI engine using trusted sources is much faster than manual analysis. Now he has the time to tighten it, understand it, and complement it. [6:44] SONEPAR is using it for their benefit and to better spread risk management principles throughout the organization through Helpdesk or Chatbot, allowing people who are less skilled in risk management or insurance to ask questions through the tools to get support. [7:05] Those tools answer almost 90% of the questions. The remaining questions go to the Risk Management team because they are in a gray area. SONEPAR is using AI more and more and is entering a phase where they are looking at automating some risk management processes. [7:33] François says he is looking at automating business partner assessments, a cumbersome and complex process that the Risk Management team is doing with multiple tools. [7:49] Now, they are trying to streamline it, still with humans making the decisions, based on an AI data set that will be faster and easier to produce and much more reliable. [8:24] Justin says one of the more surprising findings in the RMIS Panorama is that ESG Functional Coverage dropped by 15 points this year. François explains why he thinks this is the case. It's not ESG fatigue, but it's in the way companies are approaching ESG. [9:22] François says a lot of ESG features are moved out of risk management information systems into dedicated tools and sometimes into dedicated teams. In the beginning, some ESG features were encapsulated in Risk Management systems. [9:39] François says it's less and less the case, at least in the tools that are sold in Europe. In the U.S., it could be more mixed. Separating ESG from Risk Management is more linked to maturity and topical evolution, rather than fatigue or a decrease in the importance of ESG. [10:06] Justin says the report also suggests that functional coverage overall has stabilized, which Justin asks if that indicates a mature market. François speaks of maturity and breaks down the RMIS Panorama, made from three surveys: Vendors, Risk Managers, and Insurers. [10:43] Maturity is reflected by a mix of these studies. Almost 250 Risk Managers from 36 countries took the survey. They want smarter features, better insight, better connections, and better decisions. They want the tools RMIS is using to be part of the group's way of functioning. [11:27] François says this is not yet the case. The tools are a bit apart and not fully connected with the CRM and other tools. François says they are starting to change. The risk managers using these tools are expecting change to come in the next few years. [11:52] Justin asks if it's easier today for a startup to build from the ground up with their Risk Management Information System embedded in their processes, or for an established organization. François says today it's easier for both, but big groups are more complex. [12:39] A Quick Break! There are so many other wonderful RIMS events coming up in 2026.

You can check out the materials from his presentation on RIMS.org/ASC. You will have had to have registered for or attended RISKWORLD 2026 to check it out. We're here to continue the dialog. [15:12] François feels his session went well. There were 50 to 55 people gathered there to listen and take notes. For François, it was pleasant to do. [16:00] François says you have a feeling when you are connecting with an audience. You can see that they are following you, and the message is passing from you to them. [16:51] François says, If you are losing your audience, you can try to use humor. Sometimes you succeed. He tells of a session in a noisy room, where everybody, including himself, was provided with a helmet, to listen to like a podcast. He could not feel if they were getting the message or not. [17:47] When presenting, you try to hold the attention of the room. Justin says that sometimes he locks eyes with somebody who's listening and then talks to that person and hopes that others will pick up on that energy. [18:18] Justin says risk management is not the easiest topic to make exciting. You have to figure out ways to jazz it up a little bit. [18:31] François says if you are convinced that the topic is interesting, that conviction, at a certain point, will pass through the mic and go to the room. If you are not convinced, the public will feel it. Justin says, If you are not excited to present, the audience will not be captivated. [18:58] François notes that he is French and speaks English like a Frenchman, so he has to manage that. His message may not be phrased as the audience expects. The way an American would phrase it is not the way I am using it. Justin stresses listening better to different accents. [19:58] Justin says François is a very good presenter, and the RISKWORLD audience seemed engaged in his message. Justin says if one person walks away with something actionable, it was worthwhile. François says, "Mission accomplished!" [20:23] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period is now open, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [20:43] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026. Award notifications will be sent out in late July. [20:58] General Grant applications are open, and the application deadline is July 30th. Internship Grant applications open on August 15th and close on October 15th. [21:09] Links to each of these grants are in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [21:17] The Spencer 2026 Funding Their Future Gala will be held on Thursday, September 17th, from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m. at a different venue this year. It will be at the fabulous Waldorf Astoria in New York City. [21:32] Sponsorship opportunities and benefits are available now. A link to the Funding Their Future Gala is in this episode's show notes. [21:40] Next week's guest is the Funding Their Future Gala Honoree, Marya Propis! More Spencer celebrities and board members will be making appearances on RIMScast this summer, as well. [21:53] Let's Conclude Our Interview with François Beaume! [22:09] Justin says the Panorama notes an increase in organizations with more than 200 RMIS users. Does that signal that RMIS is becoming an enterprise-wide infrastructure, or is it still a niche tool for risk teams? [22:26] François says that this is really positive. A Risk Management Information System is not a niche risk tool anymore. It's becoming part of the company infrastructure. [22:44] Once you have hundreds of users, expectations explode, the momentum is there, and user patience drops. As the tool starts to become more massive and interconnected with other tools, you have to manage expectations. The scope of usage of these tools is widening. [23:16] You have not only niche risk usage, but you also have risk management, internal control, insurance, compliance, etc., that are managed inside the tool. The tool reaches all areas of development. The momentum is self-generating. [24:15] François says executive involvement in RMIS usage is positive. Executives want clarity from dashboards. They want to know what matters, why it matters, and what we can do next. They want the deep insight of the tool. They may not go into the tool, but will use the dashboard. [25:10] François speaks of the progress of the techniques of Risk Management Information Systems. Data mining, SaaS contracts, and AI usage have contributed to making RMIS easier to deploy, connect, and access in order to load data, analyze data, and extract data. [26:08] Now is a time of wider usage of Risk Management Information Systems; once they have been adopted, they are there for life, and then you have to make them evolve. [26:21] This means that we have more discussions inside the corporations on RMIS evolutions and replacement. Are we able to make it evolve on its own, or is it time to change? If yes, what kind of process can I depend on to contemplate and manage that change? [26:56] This is executive level. You have created expectations. You have provided dashboards and KPIs, and you have to manage the production. Once it's done, you need a different momentum to run the production and make it better and more accurate over time. It's not easy. [27:40] With their partner EY, AMRAE is finalizing the deployment of the 2026 Panorama Sessions. The French translation will be released by mid-June, and explanation sessions will be run with vendors, risk managers, insurers, and brokers. [28:05] François says AMRAE is already working on the 2027 Panorama, which will be ready for the next RISKWORLD session in New Orleans. [28:27] If someone wants to participate in the Panorama, they need to contact AMRAE. Risk managers will be contacted by the risk management association of the country where they operate. If you are a vendor, you can contact AMRAE. AMRAE contacts insurers and brokers. [29:35] Justin says if you wish to participate, reach out. Go through your risk association where you have membership, like RIMS, FIRMA, or IFRIMA. The confidential information collected helps educate the global risk community. This Panorama is very important for us. [30:08] François says that inside the Panorama, all the contact details are available. As part of the panel, you have access to an online data form. The Panorama has a PDF version, a snapshot of what's in the database. The full database is accessible to anyone. [30:27] François says that as a risk manager or a vendor, you can run your own analysis by filtering and sorting the Panorama database. [30:45] Justin says that's the nice thing about it: AMRAE has made it complimentary and is broadening the horizons of the global risk community by doing so. [30:57] Justin says, I do miss recording with you in person. So, next year, hopefully we get a chance to see each other and have some Cajun food, put the mic up, and eat some jambalaya and talk. It will be great. I want to thank you again, and you're welcome back any time. [31:17] Special thanks again to François Beaume for joining us here on RIMScast!

Have you ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? You're showing up for your family, your business, your team, and your community—but deep down, you're running on empty. Maybe you're exhausted. Maybe you're burned out. Maybe you're questioning how much longer you can keep going. My friends, if that's you today, I want you to know something: you're not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the biggest lessons I've learned from walking through one of the hardest seasons of my own life. A season that tested me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. A season that ultimately strengthened my faith and taught me what true mental toughness is really all about. Because mental toughness isn't about pretending you're okay. It's not about grinding harder or carrying every burden by yourself. It's about staying faithful when life gets hard. Replenishing your body, mind, and spirit when you're running on empty. And it's about trusting that God is preparing you for something greater—even when you can't see it yet. Here's what we'll dive into on this week's IMPACT SHOW podcast: Why strong people burn out too The hidden cost of carrying too much for too long What mental toughness really means when you're in the middle of a storm How faith fuels resilience when motivation disappears Why prayer, scripture, worship, and community matter more than ever during difficult seasons The importance of replenishing your energy, your spirit, and your soul Why you can't pour from an empty cup How to perform a personal life-energy audit The connection between recovery and high performance Why your greatest impact may come after your hardest season A simple 7-Day Recharge Challenge to help you get your mind, body, and spirit back on track A powerful closing prayer to remind us that it's our Faith that feeds your mental toughness One of the questions I ask throughout this episode is this: What burden are you carrying today that was never meant for you to carry alone? Think about that. Because so many of us are trying to be everything for everyone. We're trying to hold it all together. We're trying to fight battles with our own strength. And sometimes the strongest thing we can do is surrender. Sometimes the breakthrough isn't found in doing more. Sometimes it's found in reconnecting to the Source of our strength. My hope is that this episode fills your cup. That it restores some hope. That it reminds you that whatever storm you're facing today is only a season. And that your setback can become your setup. Your pain can become your purpose. And your struggle can become your greatest testimony. Keep the faith. Keep serving. Keep showing up. And remember...the best is yet to come. If this episode encourages you, please share it with someone who may be walking through a storm right now. And if you have a prayer request, a question, or an idea for a future episode, text me directly at 619-304-2216. We have monthly chapel services open to ALL and I will text you through this above number.

The current structural shift centers on the transfer of accountability for AI risk from vendors and regulators to managed service providers (MSPs). Vendors such as Anthropic and Microsoft are expanding their enterprise-focused AI channel programs and services tracks, while regulators pull back from enforcement, leaving MSPs as the de facto accountable parties for AI deployments. Reports and data indicate that vendor-driven channel expansion and regulatory laxity are converging to make service providers the liable layer in AI delivery. Anthropic is broadening its CLAUDE partner network from around 100 to several thousand partners, organized in tiers with outcome-based incentives and a dedicated services track targeting MSPs and system integrators. Microsoft, responding to low Copilot adoption rates (reported at 3.3% of eligible users), is allowing full removal of Copilot from systems. An IDC/Expereo survey of 800 companies found 70% are budgeting for AI, but investment is driven more by competitive anxiety than proven results. Additionally, a concentrated group—top 5% of users—accounts for the bulk of enterprise AI-related risk, according to a separate analysis. Supporting developments include the emergence of Lemhi, an early-stage platform aimed at enabling MSPs to package and sell AI transformation as a recurring service, and warnings from lawmakers about cuts to CISA that undermine federal cyber defense capacity. The episode also highlights a consistent theme: government agencies such as the White House and NIST are shifting toward voluntary measures and measurement frameworks, declining to create enforceable accountability standards for AI in production environments. For MSPs and IT leaders, these developments translate to increased contract and operational risk. Without renegotiated agreements specifying usage ceilings, approval workflows, and liability terms, providers may inherit unpredictable financial exposure and compliance gaps. The absence of effective governance requirements from both vendors and authorities places the operational burden on MSPs to define, monitor, and enforce safe use of AI, including recurring governance services such as data boundary enforcement and audit evidence. Failure to address these issues may result in MSPs acting as uninsured support for unmanaged AI deployments they cannot fully control or price. 00:00 MSP AI Play  04:24 AI's Accountability Gap 06:50 MSP Risk Transfer 09:49 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  ScalePad Moovila

The episode examines a structural shift in the MSP business model driven by the introduction of AI-linked consumption-based pricing layered on top of traditional per-seat fees. This emerging mechanism, typified by Microsoft's E7 license, adds variable AI consumption charges to otherwise predictable monthly service costs. Vendors are restructuring partner payment models, with Microsoft's move closely watched by others, signaling a wider potential for volatility in the recurring revenue foundations of MSPs, according to analysis from Jay McBain and recent channel data. The most consequential development is Microsoft's E7 pricing, which explicitly adds an AI consumption cost to the standard per-seat license. This move introduces variability at “machine speed,” in contrast to previous examples such as cloud storage, where consumption remains predominantly human-driven and thus more predictable. Analysts note that similar micro-consumption models—charging per conversation, process, or API call—are being adopted by hundreds of companies. Market data from Omnia and referenced industry research places the global IT spend at $6 trillion in 2026, with two-thirds delivered by channel partners and a rapid shift from fixed, subscription models toward micro-consumption billed at a granular, usage-based level. Supporting evidence includes the lack of sufficient vendor-provided controls for variable consumption, leaving MSPs exposed to unplanned cost spikes. While large enterprises are introducing robust FinOps practices and loading up cloud credits, smaller MSPs serving SMB customers are not prepared with similar governance structures. There is also vendor-led encouragement for AI adoption—such as persistent in-app assistants—that drive up consumption before adequate controls or cost-passing mechanisms are established. The sustainability of current pricing models is further questioned by the fact that providers like OpenAI and Anthropic are themselves subsidizing significant portions of token usage, distorting true costs throughout the value chain. For MSPs and IT service leaders, these developments mean greater exposure to unpredictable costs, potential margin pressures, and increased contractual risk tied to AI consumption. Operators cannot rely on vendors to provide spend caps or consumption governance today; failure to build internal controls or pass-through mechanisms may result in absorbing unpaid liabilities. Accountability for AI-driven actions, remediation, and configuration changes will rest with the MSP, elevating both operational complexity and liability exposure. The current environment requires building governance, audit trails, and spend management capabilities now, ahead of broader market adoption of AI consumption models. Supported by: CometBackup

I think that every reader who has followed health IT companies would agree when Clay Holderman, CEO of AVIA, in a recent interview with Healthcare IT Today says, “There is so much noise in the market, it's impossible to sift through.” AVIA has been offering knowledge and expertise to health care institutions for years. Following their recent acquisition of Panda Health, they now evolved their marketplace into an “intelligence platform” that enables clients to access all the combined health IT research from AVIA and Panda Health.The insights on the AVIA intelligence platform include a range of materials on types of healthcare technology and vendors (which Holderman likes to call “solution companies”). The platform is free to both providers and vendors, on a freemium model. AVIA has created its own objective research on 115 categories (each with a buyer's guide and objective lists of leading vendors) and over 6k digital health vendors. Vendors also have a place to provide their own marketing materials and other information that potential clients might find useful.Learn more about Avia: https://aviahealth.comHealthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Why Buying Notes Beats Flipping Houses | Scott Carson dives into one of the most overlooked strategies in real estate investing. In this episode of the Real Estate Masters Podcast, Scott Carson explains how he transitioned from traditional real estate investing into buying distressed mortgage notes directly from banks. He shares why note investing creates cash flow without the headaches of tenants and rehabs, how banks sell debt at huge discounts, and why most investors are looking at deals the wrong way. Scott also breaks down the biggest mistakes investors make, the power of consistent marketing, and how financial freedom comes from building recurring income and owning the debt instead of the property. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

Outcome-based managed security and attached vendor warranties are driving a new form of coverage-based vendor lock-in for MSPs and IT service providers. Vendors such as Intezer and SPECTRA are introducing performance guarantees, SLAs, and cyber resilience warranties that require MSPs to fully standardize on their architectures. This evolving model shifts accountability for enforcement and risk management from the individual MSP to the vendor's operating model, thereby altering the independent role of the MSP within client environments. A notable example is Intezer's Amplify Partner program, which asserts that its platform can process 100% of security alerts while escalating fewer than 2% for human review—claims the company frames as outcomes rather than product specifications. SPECTRA's use of certification-linked warranties, distributed via Ingram Micro, establishes channel-distributable assurance products with explicit conditions attached at every level. According to a Check Point report, while 77% of organizations report having adopted AI for cloud security, only 26% feel capable of enforcing those strategies, revealing a gap between security intent and operational ability. This structural shift is further illustrated by Merlin Cyber's FedRAMP managed service offering, Lumen's MDR enhancements targeting mid-market MSPs, and Trustlogix's addition of intent-based authorization controls. The FBI's announcement regarding Microsoft 365 OAuth token hijacking and recent vulnerabilities in widely used platforms like ConnectWise Automate underscore the real-world risks of automation platforms being targeted. These developments collectively point to growing operational complexity, rising compliance burdens, and the need for MSPs to separate their commitments from upstream vendor claims. For operators, the trend demands increased scrutiny of warranty terms, claim denial conditions, and SLA language before making any client-facing assurances. MSPs risk absorbing liability if they repeat vendor marketing claims without contractual clarity or operational control. Effective governance now requires independently produced, audit-ready evidence that documents compliance and enforcement separate from vendor portals. As assurance sales proliferate, the operational gap between acting as an underwriter versus a reseller will drive market differentiation, affecting both pricing structures and eligibility for vendor-backed coverage. 00:00 Channel-Ready Security 03:41 Policy vs. Reality 05:59 MFA Isn't Enough 09:12 Why Do We Care?    Supported by:  ScalePad Moovila

In this Cloud Wars conversation, Bob Evans sits down with Bonnie Tinder, Founder and CEO of Raven Intelligence, to discuss how AI is reshaping the systems-integrator (SI) market. Their discussion explores how AI-powered migration agents, deployment assistants, and new implementation models are dramatically reducing project timelines, staffing requirements, and costs. Bonnie explains why traditional implementation approaches are giving way to leaner, expertise-driven engagements centered on outcomes rather than labor hours. Episode 60 | Outcomes Beat Implementations The Big Themes: AI Compresses Implementation Costs: Tinder notes that organizations often spend 10 to 11 times the cost of software licenses on implementation services. AI is beginning to challenge that model by automating some of the most labor-intensive aspects of projects, particularly data migration and system conversion work. Migration agents and deployment assistants can significantly reduce the need for large teams of junior consultants performing repetitive tasks. As implementation timelines shrink and staffing requirements decline, customers will increasingly expect lower costs and faster results. Vendors are also pushing for these efficiencies because lengthy implementations delay customer value realization. The result is mounting pressure across the SI industry to adopt AI-enabled delivery models that are leaner, faster, and more outcome-focused. Outcome-Based Thinking Is Accelerating: Throughout the discussion, Bob and Bonnie discuss the growing demand for measurable business outcomes. Customers are increasingly unwilling to tolerate expensive implementations that fail to deliver value. This pressure is encouraging software vendors and SI firms to move toward outcome-oriented engagements and pricing models. Instead of charging primarily for labor and project duration, firms must demonstrate tangible improvements in efficiency, productivity, or business performance. Boutique Firms May Gain an Advantage: Bonnie sees a major opportunity for boutique consulting firms in the AI Era. Historically, large global systems integrators benefited from scale, brand recognition, and access to specialized tools. AI is leveling parts of that playing field by making sophisticated capabilities more broadly available. Smaller firms can now compete using many of the same technologies while offering highly experienced teams and direct client engagement. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Hosted by David Cowen | Careers and the Business of Law David Cowen sits down with Mark Allen, Director of Legal Operations and Strategy at Zillow Group - a title that is itself a signal of where the legal ops function is heading. Before Zillow, Mark ran legal operations at Netflix and Activision Blizzard, and has sat on the vendor side at Brightflag and CloudCourt. He's also a newly seated CLOC board member. This conversation covers career advocacy, the vendor-buyer relationship, and why legal ops is quietly becoming one of the best business training grounds in any industry. WHY THIS MATTERS? Legal operations is no longer just a support function - it's becoming the operating engine of the modern legal department. If you're in legal ops today and not thinking about AI, business strategy, and executive influence, this episode is your roadmap. KEY TAKEAWAYS Titles follow impact, not the other way around. Show the work first, then have the conversation. Legal ops is the COO role for a legal department - tech, finance, project management, people, and strategy all in one. Be clear about your intentions with your manager. Doing the work silently is not enough - say it once, clearly. If your leader never sees your value after repeated attempts, it's time to move on. Know your worth. Introverts may actually have an edge - action speaks louder than talk tracks. Vendors: skip the 30-minute sales deck. Show the tool. Buyers know what they need within 15 minutes. Make friends with vendors even when you're not buying. It's a knowledge exchange, not just a sales call. Finance and HR are your fastest path to the executive table internally. Legal ops professionals are being asked to change an operating model that has existed for hundreds of years. An AI-first mindset is no longer optional. Legal ops is essentially a small business degree - creativity, risk-taking, and cross-functional thinking built in. PEOPLE MENTIONED David Cowen — Host Mark Allen — Director of Legal Operations and Strategy, Zillow Group; CLOC Board Member Jen McCarron — Former President of CLOC; Netflix colleague of Mark's Mary O'Carroll — Legal ops trailblazer Jason Barnwell — Legal ops trailblazer Rajan Gupta, Ryan Black, Leo Murgel, Stacey Lettie - Legal ops market leaders referenced Olivia Dean — Artist; Mark's exit song pick ("Nice to Each Other") COMPANIES & ORGANIZATIONS MENTIONED Zillow Group — Mark's current company Netflix, Activision Blizzard — Previous buyer-side roles Brightflag, CloudCourt — Mark's vendor-side experience CLOC — Legal ops community; CLOC Core 12 referenced; CLOC.org Solid, Running Legal Like a Business, Legal Week, ILTA — Legal ops education and community events

This episode contains discussions of murder, execution, racial violence, and a botched public hanging. If you need to skip any section, the chapter markers below will help you find your way around. Support resources are listed at the end of these notes.This EpisodeSeason 40 of Foul Play covers America's forgotten crimes — fifty states, 250 years, and the stories that slipped out of the history books. Episode 8 closes out the season with a double portrait. One case from New Hampshire. One from Colorado. Eleven years apart. Two thousand miles between them. The same question at the center of both: when the law finally catches up with a killer, does it actually deliver justice?This is historical true crime at its most uncomfortable.Case A: The Great Falls National Bank Murder — New Hampshire , 1897Joseph A. Stickney was sixty-eight years old when a man walked into his bank on Good Friday morning, April 16, 1897, and cut his throat.Stickney was the cashier of the Great Falls National Bank in Somersworth, New Hampshire — a mill city of seven thousand people where the Salmon Falls River dropped one hundred feet over a mile and powered seven textile mills. The bank had operated since 1865. On a holiday morning, with the mills closed and families walking to Mass, Stickney was alone at his desk with $150,000 in money and securities behind him.The man who killed him was Joseph E. Kelley, twenty-four years old, born in Amesbury, Massachusetts. Kelley had been convicted in Somersworth five years earlier for breaking and entering. He had studied the bank's routine. He walked in with a blackjack, knocked Stickney to the floor, cut his throat, and left with approximately $6,000 in cash — leaving $144,000 behind.The historical murder investigation moved fast. Kelley hired a horse team from Whitten's Stable. The team was found the next day at Phoenix Stables. On April 29, investigators searched a boarding house in Berwick, Maine, where they found a box containing a false mustache and goatee. Kelley had already crossed into Quebec on a Boston & Maine train. He was caught in a Montreal brothel, seated between two prostitutes, still wearing a woman's dress he had purchased for $10 in gold from a hotelkeeper in Quebec.At trial in Dover, New Hampshire, in November 1897, Kelley changed his plea to guilty — but only if the hanging could be scheduled for January 16, 1898. He had a contract with the Devil, he explained, that expired January 15.Dr. Charles Bancroft of the New Hampshire State Asylum for the Insane examined Kelley multiple times and concluded he had the instincts of a man but the judgment and capacity of a child of nine. Expert after expert called him a "high-grade imbecile. " Chief Justice Alonzo P. Carpenter, who had served as Chief Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court since 1896, presided over a bench that ultimately found Kelley guilty of second-degree murder — thirty years in state prison. Kelley was reportedly disappointed. He had wanted to hang.Case B: The Trolley Murder of Joseph C. Whitnah — Colorado , 1886On the night of May 19, 1886, Joseph C. Whitnah was driving a horse-drawn streetcar along the Broadway line of the Denver City Railway when two men approached his car at the southern terminus at Broadway and Alameda.Whitnah was a streetcar operator in a city mid-boom. Denver's population tripled between 1880 and 1890, from roughly 35,000 to more than 106,000. The Denver City Railway operated forty-five coaches across sixteen miles of track.Andrew Green, twenty-five years old, and his associate John "Kansas" Withers had been waiting for Whitnah's car. Green fired two shots from a .38 caliber revolver. The first shot was accidental — triggered when Whitnah screamed. The second was deliberate, close-range, through the heart. Whitnah died on the spot. The $14 in fares in his cashbox went untouched.The true crime investigation broke in six days. On May 21, a private detective received a tip at the G.A.R. Saloon on Larimer Street — the Grand Army of the Republic, a fraternal organization for Union veterans. Withers confessed almost immediately and identified Green as the shooter. Green was arrested and confessed on May 25. He told investigators he had been promised the death penalty would be taken off the table if he cooperated.That promise was never confirmed or denied.Green stood trial before an all-white jury. This was Denver six years after a mob of 3,000 attacked the city's Chinese quarter and lynched a man named Look Young. Defense attorney Edgar Caypless worked pro bono. He argued that no robbery had actually been completed, that Green's confession was coerced by a false promise, and that the first shot was accidental. The jury deliberated a little over an hour — was polled four times, one juror holding out for second- degree — and returned a verdict of guilty of first-degree murder. Death.On July 27, 1886, Sheriff Frederick Cramer of Arapahoe County cut the main rope at 2:24 PM before fifteen to twenty thousand spectators gathered between the Broadway and Colfax bridges. Vendors sold lemonade. Families had brought picnic lunches. Children were in the crowd.Green's neck did not snap. Twelve minutes after the jerk-up, doctors could still feel a pulse at his wrist. At 3:45 PM — eighty-one minutes after Cramer cut the rope — undertakers removed Andrew Green from the gallows and placed him in a casket bound for the "colored" section of Riverside Cemetery.The execution was condemned by nearly every Denver newspaper. In 1889, Colorado moved all executions to the state prison in Canon City, limited witnesses, and commissioned a new gallows design. In 1897 — the same year Joseph Stickney was murdered in New Hampshire — Colorado abolished the death penalty. It was reinstated in 1901.Historical ContextBoth cases arrived during the same decade, when American law was negotiating what justice was supposed to look like. In New Hampshire, a court grappled with whether a man who could plan a murder could simultaneously lack the mental capacity to stand fully accountable for it. In Colorado, a court asked whether a Black man could get a fair trial six years after his city had watched a lynch mob go unpunished.Neither question has a clean answer. Both still echo.This is Season 40 of Foul Play: America's 250th Anniversary — the crimes that didn't make the monuments.Our Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Mood and use my code SHANE for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Chaos does not break great leaders. Their reaction to chaos does. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down one of the most powerful traits any entrepreneur can build: emotional control. Let's be real… Business will test you. Clients will leave. Markets will shift. Vendors will fail. Problems will show up when you least expect them. But if every setback sends you into a spiral… Your team will feel it. Your culture will feel it. And your business will suffer because of it. In this episode, you'll learn: Why chaos is part of the CEO job description How emotional reactions destroy clarity and leadership Why creating a pause before responding changes everything How stillness builds trust, authority, and confidence inside your team The truth is simple: You cannot control the market. You cannot control every problem. You cannot control every unexpected hit. But you can control your response. That is where real leadership lives. The stoic CEO does not panic. They pause. They analyze. They look at the facts. They make the next right move. Because when you lead with logic instead of emotion… Your team trusts you more. Your decisions get sharper. And your business becomes stronger under pressure. Stay calm. Look at the math. Execute the solution. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

In this special episode of the Independent Dealer Podcast, recorded live on location at Buy Here Pay Here United 2026, Jeff Watson and Luke Godwin flip the script with a first-of-its-kind vendor panel.

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale sits down with Vinnu Deshetty, Product Manager at the American Chemical Society, Event ROI Coach, and longtime PCMA instructor, to discuss the evolving role of technology in events. They explore how AI is reshaping planning and analytics, how associations can better serve exhibitors and attendees, and why intentional innovation matters more than ever. Vinnu shares practical insights on avoiding “shiny tech syndrome,” aligning tech with business goals, and using data to drive meaningful outcomes. The conversation highlights the importance of purpose-driven decisions in delivering real value from events. Themes and Topics: The Current State of Event Technology Events are operating “between four and five” in tech adoption, reflecting strong progress with room for improvement. Associations are balancing traditional goals like attendance with new expectations for engagement and personalization. AI is accelerating innovation while increasing complexity in tool selection. Purpose-Built Event Tech (Not One-Size-Fits-All) Technology is now tailored to planners, attendees, and exhibitors instead of being one broad solution. Vendors are solving specific pain points like workflows, engagement, and lead generation. Comparing solutions is more complex because platforms are no longer “apples to apples.” AI's Growing Impact on Event Operations AI is reducing manual work, like building session schedules.  Systems can learn from past data such as session ratings and attendance trends.  Predictive analytics and real-time insights are becoming more common in decision-making.  Data Strategy: Start with Intent Organizations often collect too much data without a clear purpose. Defining the questions upfront is critical to making data actionable. Focusing on a few key goals prevents teams from trying to “boil the ocean.” Exhibitor Expectations and ROI Pressure Exhibitors are asking sharper questions about ROI and measurable outcomes. Associations compete with alternative marketing channels for sponsor dollars. Integrated systems now provide better insights into lead generation and attendee behavior. Change Management and Innovation Mindset Innovation requires intentional planning, not just adopting “shiny” tools. Pilot programs and incremental changes help reduce risk. Understanding stakeholder impact is essential before rolling out new technology.

The dominant structural shift highlighted in this episode is the migration of AI from experimental tools into directly embedded workflows within widely used small business platforms. Vendors like Anthropic, with its Claude for Small Business connectors to QuickBooks, HubSpot, Canva, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365, are abstracting away technical complexity by offering concrete, prebuilt automations that address specific business processes. This embedding moves operational risk and ambiguity from model selection to the permissions layer, where control, oversight, and accountability become central concerns for providers supporting these environments. A key supporting development is Anthropic's rapid market penetration, with the VentureBeat-cited Ramp AI Index reporting 34.4% business adoption of Claude in the US—outpacing OpenAI's 32.3%. The implication, reinforced by research from the Global Technology Industry Association, is that AI service revenue is rising sharply, but only 30% of IT service providers in the UK and Ireland report fully integrating AI into their models. Simultaneously, governance gaps are being exposed: The Register notes user data may be employed for model training unless privacy settings are proactively changed, leaving operational risk exposed through default configurations. Additional developments reinforce the risk and accountability shift. OpenAI has established a subsidiary focused on direct deployments and implementation, seeking to guarantee quality and consistency in enterprise integration. CIO Dive references Palo Alto Networks research indicating 77% of CIOs claim AI risk management confidence, yet only 30% have real usage visibility, and 62% cite rogue agent concerns. The discussion connects these risks back to routine SMB operations, where AI-enabled workflows can act on core business data, increasing MSP proximity to liability and making explicit who controls connectors, permissions, and incident response documentation. For MSPs and IT service firms, the operational consequence is that supporting AI-enabled platforms now obligates them to establish and document governance, inventory, data access, and approval processes. Risk shifts from abstract model performance to concrete operational exposure, especially as AI systems interconnect with finance, identity, communication, and other high-stakes subsystems. Providers lacking scoped service definitions and contractual clarity face unpriced liability, while those that implement billable AI governance frameworks—such as audit templates, privacy reviews, and incident-ready contracts—are positioned to address demand from clients, auditors, and insurers. Neglecting these steps is likely to result in exposure to vendor-driven terms and diminished operational standing.   00:00 Workflow Takeover   04:20 Readiness Crisis 06:24 Govern or Expose 11:13 Why Do We Care?    Supported by:  NerdioScalePad
