DALY Technology Pulse

For years, public sector organizations have had negative reactions every time they heard the term "managed print services" or MPS for short. They immediately thought about the old 'rip and replace' model that caused more effort and expense than desired. But things have changed drastically, and managed print is worlds apart from where it used to be.

In this episode of the Technology Pulse, Rick from DALY chats with Chris DiReda, HP Inc's Partner Business Manager for Print, about why organizations should not be worried and should embrace MPS and the services around it.

In this episode, Solutions Architect Michael Townsend of Barracuda Networks joins us again to expand the conversation about Barracuda's backup solutions for O365. From data recovery to archiving and more, Michael discusses the solutions available to take your data from discovery to recovery.

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.
