Ultimate Partner

Listening (again) to a favorite episode from my podcast series, Ultimate Guide to Partnering™, I'm reminded of the importance "agility" to successful partnering! From Tony Safoian, "you have to be able to invest in a controlled fashion in areas that you think or believe or in some cases know, are a tremendous opportunity that may be way too early for anyone to have recognized at the time..." https://lnkd.in/e7jJAm5 #partnersuccess #ultimateguidetopartnering

The Buzz is Back - Ultimate Partner OnLocation - Dux Raymond Sy. The energy was palpable at Microsoft Ignite - 2019-level excitement! 🎉 and recognizing Partner of the Year Winners like AvePoint! The key takeaway? AI is amazing, but your data must be ready, secure, and compliant because no one wants to ask Copilot for a list of files with passwords and get more than they bargained for. (And yes, maybe don’t try that prompt! 😉) Thank you to Dux and AvePoint for being an amazing Ultimate Partner supporter in 2024!
