Cloud-based EHRs aren’t coming — they’re already here. They now account for 67% of all ambulatory installations. On-prem is becoming the exception, not the norm. And this shift isn’t just about infrastructure. It reshapes hiring needs, security posture, and day-to-day operations: ▪️ Teams now need cloud-native and SaaS-literate engineers, not just traditional IT admins ▪️ Downtime risk moves from “local outage” to “vendor dependency” ▪️ Cybersecurity grows more complex as data moves beyond hospital walls ▪️ Providers expect faster upgrades, better scalability, and seamless integrations Cloud adoption sounds like efficiency — but it quickly becomes chaos without the right people supporting it. If 67% of your systems are already in the cloud, the real question is: Is your tech talent built for the environment you’re actually operating in?

Recognition is one of the most overlooked drivers of retention. 👏 When employees feel genuinely recognized, they are 45% less likely to leave over a two year period.👍 In staffing and in leadership, it is rarely the big initiatives that move the needle. It is the consistent effort to acknowledge people’s work, understand what motivates them and make sure they feel valued. 🎖️ 🏆 That is what keeps talent in place and builds healthier teams.

80% of Texas’s new power demand is coming from one source 🥁 🥁 🥁 Cloud Data Centers. ERCOT’s 2025 forecast shows a 49-gigawatt jump in total load and almost all of that growth ties back to cloud-computing infrastructure. The cloud might be virtual, but the impact on the ground is massive. ☁️ 4 out of every 5 new megawatts in Texas will power cloud operations 🚧 Each new data center means hundreds of construction and tech jobs 🔌 Talent demand around power, cooling, and automation is just beginning

Cyber and GRC have been at the forefront of so many conversations this year. GRC used to be treated like paperwork and policy binders. Now it is showing up on the strategic agenda, and rightfully so. About 38% of organizations say GRC directly supports business growth and cyber risk management. That shift matters. It means GRC is no longer just compliance. It is resilience. ▪️ Security and privacy are now competitive advantages ▪️ Risk visibility impacts how fast teams can move ▪️ Strong governance builds trust with customers and partners ▪️ Companies that treat GRC as strategy avoid the fire drills later Growth today is not just about scaling. It is about scaling safely and sustainably. If GRC is still an afterthought in your org, the real risk is already here. #GRC #CyberSecurity #Risk #Governance #Compliance #Growth #ITStaffing #Sustainability

Yes, I am an unapologetic Formula One fanatic. I talk about it with anyone I can and will bring up the subject in any conversation. 😅 There are so many reasons I love this sport and one of the biggest driving factors, pun inteded, is the massive team effort from each organization that engineer these monster machines for the athletes to go head to head with each other out on track. F1 looks individual, but it is one of the most collaborative sports in the world. Thousands of people working together for a fraction-of-a-second advantage. 🏎️ Data drives every decision 🏎️ Small adjustments create big outcomes 🏎️ Pressure is constant and the margin for error is tiny Teams and drivers do not win ONLY because they have the fastest car. They win because they learn and adapt faster than everyone else and are able to take critical data and create actionable items to gain an advantage in the future. Honestly, that is how I think about work too. We're here to collaborate with one another and utilize data efficiently to drive progress and show why we're P1 compared to competition. Sometimes it's fractional, but you won't find a winning team in F1 without heart, dedication, and innovation. And at Red Oak Technologies, we embody all of those aspects of a winning team. Also yes, if you are a Formula 1 fan, we are already friends. PS - shoutout to Lando Norris for his 150th race this weekend! Could we finally see Lando as our new World Champion this year? Only 3 tracks left, and it'll be excitment until the last second of the last race. #ITStaffing #ResourceServices #Network #Data #Innovation #Formula1 #F1 #Technology #Teamwork #Staffing

Half of North America’s data center absorption came from just two markets- 1️⃣ Northern Virginia: 647 MW 2️⃣ Dallas: 575 MW Together, they account for nearly 50% of all absorption in the first half of 2025. Austin/San Antonio isn’t far behind at 291 MW, putting it in the top five. The demand wave isn’t slowing down; it’s shifting south. 📍 Central Texas is quickly becoming the next big hub 📍 Power, infrastructure, and hiring will define who keeps up If you’re watching the market, where do you see the next breakout data center region emerging?
