Face it - artificial intelligence (AI) has gotten a bad rap in the education space. From students using AI to write papers to staff members fearing that AI will eliminate their jobs, this 'miracle technology' is not looked upon kindly in K-12 or higher education.

But Microsoft is looking to change all that by using AI to advance education for students, educators, parents, and more.

In this episode, Microsoft's U.S. Commercial Master Trainer Mitch Doctor dispels the myths about AI in education and gives concrete examples of how the technology can be used for the betterment of everyone inside the classroom and beyond.

The workplace has evolved beyond the traditional office setting. Hybrid work is here to stay, and most workers are happy about the shorter commutes, casual dress, and autonomy that accompany the work-from-home-or-anywhere scenario.

But not IT workers.  For IT, hybrid work means MORE work. Not just expertly navigating the tech complexities of employees moving among in-office, at-home, and in-transit work, but also playing a larger role in shaping business outcomes.

In this episode, Kathryn Cordingley from HP chats about Proactive Insights - using telemetry to drive modern digital end user experiences. She discusses the biggest challenges organizations face managing endpoints today and in the near future - no matter what their definition of hybrid. And she explains how HP can accelerate adoption of the end user’s digital experience with measurement and tracking.

Times have changed. Technology has changed. So why are people still using spreadsheets to inventory their devices? Shouldn't the tracking method be as sophisticated as the devices you're keeping in inventory?

In this episode, Ray Whitlock of Wasp Barcode Technologies chats with us about just how far device inventory methods have come, what prompted the evolution, and how organizations can 'shred the spreadsheets' and bring their inventory processes into the now.

The public safety landscape has changed drastically over the past few years. The devices public safety organizations utilize need to be better, stronger, more sustainable, and more reliable.

In this episode, Panasonic Connect's Adam Waxman discusses how TOUGHBOOK mobile devices have evolved along side the public safety world to provide the performance and usability needed in the field. He also discusses the sustainability, support, and service efforts that set TOUGHBOOK apart from other rugged devices.

Remember when your cellular phone was just a phone? Or when you had to stand on a corner and hail a taxi? Or when you had to pay an extra dollar on your video rental because you forgot to rewind the VHS tape?

Things sure have changed (for the better!) when it comes to technology. And that is very evident in the physical security space. (Hint: It's not just about cameras anymore.)

In this episode, Verkada's Patrick DelBuono discusses how physical security solutions have evolved over the past several years, what challenges these intuitive technologies can help solve, and what new innovations are on the horizon.

The infrastructure challenges faced by government and education organizations are numerous. From using systems and equipment that were designed for Fortune 50 companies to leaning on system admins who wear multiple hats, the deck seems stacked against the SLED market.

But there is an 'easy button' that can be pushed, so to speak.

In this episode, we chat with Alan Conboy, Field CTO for Scale Computing, about how their unique solutions can solve the challenges and make your organization's IT infrastructure better and more manageable.

The SLED (State/Local Government, Education) is filled with challenges. When a SLED customer comes to DALY looking for solutions, they want to know that they’re speaking with someone who’s ‘been there, done that’ and understands the hurdles that need to be cleared to implement new technology.

In this episode, we chat with Michael Townsend, Solutions Architect for Barracuda Networks. Michael spent 30+ years working his way up the ladder in the K-12 education sector and can empathize with anyone who is trying to adopt new solutions when faced with constraints posed by budgets, approvals, technology limitations, and more.

Michael gives great insight into navigating the budget cycle, adopting new technology solutions, and the benefits of email archiving.

Did you ever think that World War II planes and today's digital data would have something in common?

Neither did we ;-)

But they do share a common thread known as Survivorship Bias. Just when you think you know how and where to protect your organization's data based upon past events, you learn something different based upon the lessons of the WWII planes that made it back from their missions.

In this first episode of Season 2, Absolute Software VP of Data Intelligence Dave Mundo chats with Rick from DALY about survivorship bias and how the public sector compares to the private sector when it comes to data and device protection.
