INSIGHTS OF THE DAY

PAUL: THE FUTURE IN TECH SALES IS BRIGHT

“A lot of the news is coming with some of the tech layoffs. But I think part of the story that's also missing is, the tech hiring in the past two years far outweighed the layoffs. So I mean, there's a shortage of talent, not an excess of it. So it's very much a buyer's market in terms of world seller's market in terms of if you're talented, there's a lot of demand for your skill. So I think that will just continue. I don't see any slowdown in that.”
 

PAUL: THE PORTFOLIO SHIFT FROM HARDWARE TO CLOUD

“So we are essentially moving from a company that was infrastructure and hardware led with services attached to that hardware. And now we are a cloud company that sells services that pull through hardware, in some instances, not all now. And that's a pretty significant change in and obviously, the balance of those two businesses changes over time.”
