If you're into Kubernetes, this is the one event to have on your radar this year! On September 24, Edgecase brings together the Dutch Kubernetes community in Gooiland, Hilversum for a full day of real production stories. I'll be there, along with Justin Garrison (Sidero Labs), Conor Sherman (Sysdig) and Rick Brouwer (Practice Lead Ops at DUO, KEDA Maintainer), and many more. Want in? Send me a message and I'll sort you out with a discount code. Register here: https://lnkd.in/egNGatcJ

Kubernetes didn’t just introduce more components and more complexity, it also increased the attack surface. We all know this. Logically, at least. But in practice? We often spend far more time pushing new features than pushing security patches. That’s something we need to get better at! Check out this snippet from my conversation with Marcel from Sysdig. We talk about what attackers actually look for in cloud-native environments, and why security can’t be an afterthought.

Can you build an Airtable system quickly and make it harder to scale later? In my experience, yes. Airtable is a brilliant tool because teams can shape systems around how the business actually works. The risk is that the early build can feel deceptively simple. A few tables, views and automations solve the immediate problem, so the system feels finished. Then the business grows. More people start using it, more requirements appear and the structure that worked at the start begins to feel restrictive. 💡 That is why we focus on the foundation first. Before building too much on top, it is worth getting the core pieces right: 🔹 Tables that reflect the business properly 🔹 Relationships that can support change 🔹 Automations that make the process easier to manage 🔹 A system the business can understand and maintain When those pieces are in place, new requirements are easier to handle without rebuilding from scratch. The best Airtable systems work for the business today and still have room to grow with it. ⬇️ Want to build Airtable systems that are easier to scale?

I genuinely believe the days of using spreadsheets as business systems are numbered. Spreadsheets will always have their place, but there's no real reason to keep storing business application logic inside them when platforms like Airtable and Microsoft Power Platform exist. 📊 In many cases, you can simply import your spreadsheets into a low-code or no-code platform and do far more with them. For larger organisations, spreadsheets can also create compliance challenges. You've got security to think about, you've got permissions to manage. And because spreadsheets are so easy to change, small changes can sometimes have consequences that aren't realised until much later. That's why I recommend taking a gradual approach. Start with your simplest spreadsheet. Move it into a low-code or no-code system. Then do the next one. 🔗 As you begin connecting those systems together, you bring more of your business data into one place. Once you've done that, tools like Airtable Omni and Microsoft Copilot become much more powerful because you can start asking meaningful questions about your data. 🔒 Modernising doesn't have to happen all at once. Start with one spreadsheet, build from there and let your systems evolve over time.

"It makes you sound much smarter… maybe than we are." AI Insights - Conversation 14 of 18 with Stacy Whitley 🔆, Channel Account Executive at Sophos. Here’s what we packed into our chat: - How Stacy started using ChatGPT a year ago and now relies on it for bios, resumes, presentations, and custom PowerPoints - Why security pros need to embrace AI but stay cautious - The surprisingly big challenge of managing WhatsApp conversations across LATAM without an out-of-office feature - The rise of deepfakes, unrealistic aesthetics, and how teens spot them faster than adults - Her excitement for the opportunities AI creates and her concern about how it shapes kids’ learning habits - Why AI will take some jobs but open up entirely new ones (including, apparently, the WhatsApp out-of-office startup someone needs to build) Big thanks again to The IT Nation and ConnectWise for having us in Orlando 😎

"There’s a huge opportunity for us… but it comes with a cost." AI Insights - Conversation 15 of 18 with Brandon Barber from TD SYNNEX North America. Here’s what we covered: - How TD SYNNEX is using internal AI tools to help reps instantly understand product capabilities and match them to their catalogue - Why AI is transforming mundane, time consuming tasks into seconds long workflows - Copilot as the everyday engine for presentations, processes, and partner documentation - The darker side of AI: attackers multiplying themselves thousands of times and overwhelming MSPs - Why shadow AI, data sovereignty, and uncontrolled tools are becoming real risks - The emerging opportunity: cybersecurity uplift as the biggest AI driven revenue wave Big thanks again to The IT Nation and ConnectWise for having us in Orlando 😎

Het moment dat ik besefte dat ik was opgelicht, staat in mijn geheugen gegrift. Niet als paniek. Nou ja, tuurlijk was ik eerst ook in paniek… Maar daarna de stilte. Alles wat ik dacht te weten over ‘digitale veiligheid’ kreeg ineens een andere lading. Want dit ging niet over techniek. Dit ging over gedrag. AI maakt misleiding schaalbaar. En bewustwording is ineens net zo belangrijk als firewalls en policies. In de volledige video neem ik je mee in dat moment. Wat er door me heen ging. En wat we hiervan moeten leren. 👉 De hele video staat nu op YouTube. Je vindt de link in de comments.

Als dit mij kan overkomen, kan het iedereen overkomen. Het is niet bedoeld om mensen angst aan te jagen. Dat is een realistische constatering dat AI het verschil tussen echt en nep vervaagt. Deze video gaat niet over bitcoin. Het gaat over hoe we kijken naar veiligheid. En naar onszelf. We moeten opnieuw leren twijfelen. En opnieuw leren checken. Ik deel mijn verhaal omdat zwijgen makkelijker is dan toegeven dat ik ben misleid. Maar ook omdat bewustwording begint bij eerlijk zijn. 👉 Bekijk de volledige video op YouTube.

I tested a platform that makes a major retailer millions every month. It failed twice in live stores. Same week. Nobody talks about why this keeps happening. That platform wasn't broken in the normal sense. It was old. Built for a world where #software just had to store, retrieve, and display. Not think. Not predict. Not act. #AI changed the job description overnight. Most #legacysoftware never got the memo. And the cracks are no longer showing behind the scenes. They're showing on the floor. I wrote about what's actually happening inside the #softwareindustry right now. The real version, not the marketing one. A few things I dig into: Why most "AI strategies" today are just a chatbot glued onto #infrastructure never designed to support one. The real story behind that failed platform. It wasn't a bug. It was a structural decision made fifteen years ago. Why barcodes are a security vulnerability hiding in plain sight, and what Uniqlo's #RFID rollout proves about what actually happens when you rebuild instead of bolt on. How satellite data and #AI are already rewriting #agriculture, conservation, and #realestate. Using data that existed for years but nobody could process fast enough until now. This isn't a story about old companies losing. Many of them carry something no #startup can manufacture. Decades of trust, embedded relationships, institutional knowledge. It's a story about who built for the future from day one, and who's been quietly patching a structure that can't hold the weight anymore. AI isn't what's going to kill the slow ones. Their own #architecture already is. #EnterpriseSoftware #LegacyTech #SoftwareArchitecture #RetailTech #AIStrategy #DigitalTransformation #TechLeadership #Innovation #FutureOfSoftware #EvinceDev #eatance

O setor de energia passa por uma mudança estrutural. Com o avanço das fontes renováveis, a descentralização da geração e a agenda de descarbonização, cresce também a complexidade de gerir ativos, dados e processos de forma integrada. Nesse contexto, um dos principais desafios não está na disponibilidade de tecnologia, mas na capacidade das organizações de estruturar dados, processos e conhecimento. Algumas barreiras ainda são recorrentes: - Conhecimento concentrado em poucas pessoas e sem documentação, que são perdidas durante a movimentação dessas pessoas; - Dados desatualizados ou que não conferem com o que foi realmente construído em campo. Sem dados confiáveis, estratégias de manutenção preditiva não são efetivas; - Processos de digitalização são tratados como desafios de TI, quando na verdade são desafios de liderança, processo e cultura; - Sistemas fragmentados, sem comunicação ou integração entre planejamento, engenharia, construção e operação; - Ausência de um inventário digital confiável promovem decisões ineficientes. BIM, gêmeos digitais e CDEs já endereçam grande parte destes desafios, mas na prática, só funcionam com lideranças engajadas e times integrados. Por isso, a discussão não deveria se limitar a qual tecnologia adotar, mas a como aplicá-la de forma consistente. No blog da FF Solutions a Symetri Company, aprofundamos esse tema: https://lnkd.in/dKfeX2Gk

𝗘𝗹 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮. 𝗦𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲. (Parte II) Y cuando algo que se vive, empieza a replicarse, deja de ser una experiencia... Y comienza a convertirse en capacidad real de negocio. Este vídeo recoge muy bien lo que estamos impulsando desde #TransformationADX en Naturgy Renovables con los #Agentathones de la mano de ENCAMINA: Una forma práctica de acercar la inteligencia artificial al negocio, poniendo a las personas a construir agentes sobre problemas reales de su día a día. Después de tres ediciones en #Renovables —con áreas transversales (Compras, Medio Ambiente, Tecnologia, Calidad y Prevención), Operaciones y PAySO (Ecofin)— el formato ya ha empezado también a escalar al resto de Naturgy y, concretamente, a #Corporación. Y esta es una señal muy potente. Una señal clara de que esto funciona. Porque el valor no está solo en que un equipo construya un agente durante una jornada. El verdadero valor aparece cuando las personas cambian la forma de mirar su trabajo: 🔹️Cuando empiezan a cuestionar procesos, 🔹️a identificar tareas que pueden automatizarse, 🔹️a colaborar de otra manera, 🔹️y a descubrir que la #IA puede ser una capacidad propia, no algo lejano ni reservado a perfiles técnicos. Ahí empieza la #TransformacionAgentica de verdad. 🚀 No en la tecnología. En las personas que se atreven a usarla para trabajar mejor. Gracias a ENCAMINA (partner del Año de Microsoft) por acompañarnos en este camino y ayudarnos a convertir esta idea en una experiencia real, práctica y escalable. 🌈 Porque al final, esto no va solo de construir agentes. Va de construir una organización capaz de aumentar su capacidad y productividad de forma sostenible sin perder nunca de vista ni su esencia ni su propósito. 𝗟𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶́𝗮 𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗹𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼́𝗻.

Can inflation on IT increase your company’s calculated carbon footprint? Surprisingly, yes. And the explanation may have very little to do with the IT equipment you actually buy. I explore that question in my latest article. #helloeffort #egiss #responsibleIT #scope3 #ITprocurement

E-paper displays are bridging the last gap in Retail Digitisation – here's what that means for you. In this series, I’m sharing what we’re seeing right now in digital signage—practical insights and trends from our work with retailers, telcos and banks. E-paper is an emerging technology that’s helping retailers finally replace their last print collateral, shelf labels, and posters with digital solutions. In this video, I explore how E-paper displays—up to 32”, with up to six colours, Wi-Fi connectivity, and no need for power—are making it easier and more cost-effective to manage in-store communications. If you’re interested in real-time, centrally managed updates and great-looking digital posters, I think you’ll find this worth a watch.

For me, our best AI use case for 2025 combines technical elegance with very human outcomes. We helped one of our clients rethink their architecture and moved their X-ray analysis pipeline to an Amazon SageMaker solution. The result was significant: By modernizing the architecture and leveraging SageMaker’s managed compute and scalable, parallel processing, we cut the end-to-end processing time for a single X-ray down to about 20 seconds, even under increased load. The speed is impressive, but the real impact is what it enables: faster diagnoses, smoother patient journeys, and clinical teams finally able to keep up with demand. It’s a clear example of how the most effective AI applications often come from choosing the right architecture rather than building increasingly complex solutions. In this video, you’ll also hear others from the e-Core team sharing the AI use cases that stood out to them this year. What use of AI surprised you the most in 2025?

Teams are excited about their hiring plans for 2026. The people running onboarding know it comes with a heavy load. Because hiring more people also means: • more devices to order • more setups to prepare • more tools to provision • more chances for something to fall through the cracks And when each step happens in a different place, with multiple providers, the pressure grows quickly. That’s why we joined forces with COMSPOT – to connect the entire flow before the onboarding rush begins. Now, you can fully automate your IT processes: • Choose devices directly in the deeploi platform, without comparing suppliers or managing orders yourself. • Laptops arrive with all accounts, apps and security already set up, ready for your new hire to start. • Every device is tracked automatically, so you always know who has which laptop without using spreadsheets. If hiring is part of your 2026 plan, this is the moment to get the foundation right. And in the spirit of the season, we’re introducing a December-only offer for your easy start: 🎄 Book a call this month → Get 1 month of deeploi free 🎄 No commitment beyond the call, you simply secure the offer. So let’s chat today and start 2026 strong together: https://lnkd.in/etDjx5Mu 🔥

Je MSP beloofde je nachtrust: alles naar de cloud, legio aan best practices, en een échte partner. Tot de servicemanager vertrok, de lead engineer ging ZZP’en, en je tussen kastje en muur belandde door een “horizontale reorganisatie”. Die cloud? Een dure lift-and-shift. En de facturen? Die verdubbelden, terwijl de kwaliteit jaar op jaar daalde. Steven, is dit cynisme? Nee, dit is de realiteit voor veel opdrachtgevers. En we horen het dagelijks. Maar nu is er Digital Survival Company. Een echt alternatief. Jarenlang hebben we gebouwd met hetzelfde team aan een antwoord op de traditionele reactieve MSP's. Wij zijn ook een MSP, maar de M bij ons, die staat voor Modern. Met 150 vakmensen bouwen we robuuste cloudinfrastructuren, moderne werkplekken en secure-by-design applicatielandschappen. Altijd met betrokken experts in de lead, dicht op de opdrachtgever en een heldere visie en gezamenlijke roadmap. Waarom kozen flink wat prachtige enterprise organisaties voor Digital Survival Company in de afgelopen jaren? Waaronder overheden en semi-overheidsinstanties, woningcorporaties, retailers en bekende financiële instellingen: stuur me een bericht, dan kom ik langs om het toe te lichten. Tot snel! #ITbeheer #CloudTransformatie #ModernServiceProvider #DigitalSurvival #MSP #Azure #M365 #Sentinel 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZDPeNYV

Passed the CCNA at Cisco Live 🎉 I took it as a personal challenge to better understand networking. As a Product Manager really understanding the technology behind our products matters to me. Big thanks to my colleagues at Cyberlink for the many great discussions and to my team for the support. Lots of self-study in between made it happen.

☁️ Cloud native? Ja. Maar de vraag is niet meer óf, de vraag is onder welke voorwaarden. Ik spreek elke week bestuurders en IT-verantwoordelijken bij gemeenten, woningcorporaties, vitale infrastructuur en uitvoeringsorganisaties. De roadmap ligt er. De businesscase ook. De wil is er. Maar de gesprekken zijn veranderd. De geopolitieke context doet iets met organisaties. Niet omdat men opeens tegen de cloud is, maar omdat vragen die eerder werden weggewuifd nu serieus op tafel liggen. Waar staat onze data écht? Wat is onze afhankelijkheid van hyperscalers buiten de EU? Wat als de spelregels veranderen, juridisch, politiek, operationeel? Dat is geen bangmakerij. Dat is bestuurlijke verantwoordelijkheid. En het vraagt om concrete antwoorden: Hoe voorkom je vendor lock-in zonder terug te gaan naar het stenen tijdperk? Welke Europese alternatieven zijn er en wat kunnen ze realistisch bieden? Hoe ontwerp je technologie-agnostisch, zodat workloads porteerbaar blijven? Soevereiniteit is geen binaire keuze. Niet alles zelf doen of volledig afhankelijk zijn. Het gaat om bewuste keuzes, goed zicht op de risico's en een plan dat past bij jouw context. Dat is precies waar wij bij publieke organisaties als Modern Service Provider mee helpen. Herken jij dit? Of loopt de discussie bij jullie vast? Plan een gesprek in, dan denken we met je mee. #soevereiniteit #NDSCloud #woningcoporatie #gemeente #waterbedrijf

“Nous sommes trop petits pour intéresser les hackers.” C’est probablement la phrase que j'entends le plus souvent sur le terrain. Et pourtant, les PME sont aujourd’hui des cibles privilégiées : moins d’équipes dédiées, moins de supervision, moins de réaction en cas d’alerte. Le sujet n’est plus seulement la protection. Le sujet est la surveillance continue. Parce qu’une attaque détectée à temps peut être stoppée. Une attaque ignorée pendant plusieurs jours peut devenir une crise majeure. Le jeudi 4 juin à 11h, je vous donne rendez-vous pour un webinaire très concret aux côtés d'Ali Ait mamas de chez Cyna. Pas de présentation théorique, mais un vrai retour terrain. Au programme : → Détection comportementale et supervision des postes/serveurs. → Réaction à incident et rôle du CERT. → Démonstration live d’une cyberattaque. L’objectif : vous aider à comprendre comment renforcer votre sécurité sans devoir construire une équipe cyber en interne. 📅 Jeudi 4 juin à 11h ⏱️ 1 heure 🎙️ Webinaire animé par DFM & Cyna. Si le sujet vous concerne, vous pouvez vous inscrire ici : https://lnkd.in/eMQHQZBM
