Explore the perspectives of Jeff Kihn, a Federal Channel Systems Engineer at Palo Alto Networks, as he dives s into the challenges and opportunities AI brings to government agencies. I've been meeting with Cities and Counties across Southern California and the theme I'm seeing and hearing is exactly with Jeff talks about in this discussion with GovTech Insider.

A Simple Reminder: Always Ask Questions to Your Customers and Prospects   I recently worked on a deal where we were adding switches for expansion, and I assumed it was a greenfield deployment. However, my customer was looking to integrate the new switches into an existing stack. Long story short, we shipped out switches with Network Advantage because the customer was looking for advanced Layer 3 features. Unfortunately, his existing stack was running Network Essentials, which obviously caused compatibility issues. With over $40M in stock, we were able to get additional switches shipped out the next day but this could have been avoided with better communication and qualifying questions upfront. Simple Reminder: Same feature set: All switches need to run the same version, like Network Essentials and Network Advantage. Same software train & release: They must be on the same software train and version for everything to work correctly.   Simple and easy questions that can save you time and frustration down the road. #Edgeium #Cisco #switches #CovrEDGE

CSPs/MSPs - how much time do you spend a month collating FinOps, AD and M365 reports for your customers? The new CloudMonitor M365 reports automate and simplify this so you can add additional value to your clients. For example, the Mailbox Usage Report shows you which of your users are nearing capacity and whether they have archiving turned on. The Licensing Report shows how many licenses you have bought, disabled users that have assigned licenses and how many licenses are pure wastage. Play around with the CloudMonitor sandbox or tune in for one of our weekly demos. #finops #ad #entra #microsoft #automation #microsoft365 #m365
