“I had the pleasure to collaborate with Omer for the last 3 years to develop a strategic partnership across more than 30 countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). During this time, I was impressed with Omer's ability to navigate complex challenges, deliver on key promises and perform while transforming. Omer brings passion, ethics, strong business acumen, commitment, but also a sense of humor to the alliance. He is customer driven, results oriented and brings sense of urgency to situation attributes which are critical to drive success.”

IT departments today are struggling to cut costs while increasing operational agility, deliv¬ering superior service, and maintaining high customer satisfaction. Application virtualization with Microsoft® SoftGrid® technologies can help with all of these goals. By converting applications into virtual services that are managed and hosted centrally but run on demand locally, application virtualization reduces the complexity and IT labor involved in deploying, updating, and managing applications. In addition, because the virtualized applications run in their own environment on client machines, this can considerably reduce the application footprint on the operating system thus reducing application & operating system conflicts. The segregation and elimination of system conflicts between applications and operating systems can be instrumental not only for reducing IT operating expenditures but also for reducing the need for regression testing or for server silos. Last but not least, during operating system migration, such as upgrades from Windows® XP to Windows Vista™, application compatibility issues that traditionally plagued operating system migrations can now be taken head-on. In short, by helping IT organizations decrease total cost of ownership, increase service levels, and more easily respond to changing requirements, application virtualization can serve as a strategic tool that delivers a significant competitive advantage and allows your organization to move further along the infrastructure optimization continuum.

The Optimus program consisted in building up a highly efficient migration framework leveraging Microsoft Consulting Services IP and toolsets (Casahl, Binary Tree, Quest). Readiness program was put together to enable onshore/offshore delivery and sales folks.
It has driven ten of millions of revenue across both organizations and led us to win the Messaging Partner of the Year award in 2013.Other creators -

Internet and cloud environments are creating more blind spots than ever. In our 2026 State of Network Operations Report, 87% of respondents said public, private, and hybrid cloud environments introduce visibility gaps. Tomorrow, @Jeremy Rossbach and @Alec Pinkham will show how Network Observability by Broadcom eliminates those gaps, revealing the full delivery path across networks you own and those you don’t. You’ll also see how Ameriprise reduced triage time from weeks to minutes. Join us live and see what full visibility really looks like: https://lnkd.in/gu4Ynhwm

Great insight from George Gerchow, CSO of Bedrock Data on AI Security: How groundbreaking “metadata lake” is changing the game for data visibility and protection. Shadow AI is coming fast—find out why it could be your company’s next major blind spot if you don’t act now. Learn why AI-era threats demand new, real-time governance models that go far beyond traditional security playbooks.

Sam automates Tier 1 and Tier 2 SOC tasks. It handles alert triage, enrichment, correlation, and response preparation. Analysts remain in control through human-in-the-loop oversight. Agentic Mesh orchestrates specialized AI agents across detection, investigation, and reporting. It enforces shared context and enterprise policy. It ensures explainability and reversibility. This is not a copilot overlay. It is a system of work. Sameer Ratolikar, Chief Information Security Officer at HDFC Bank, explains the stakes: “In a regulated financial environment, AI must earn trust through transparency and control. With Securonix, we are using AI agents to reduce noise, accelerate investigations through natural-language search, and prepare response actions, all while keeping our analysts firmly in control. The result is a more productive SOC and clearer visibility into how AI is contributing to real operational outcomes.” Simon Hunt, Chief Product Officer of Securonix, frames the challenge directly: “We built Sam and Agentic Mesh to solve two problems CISOs face every day: unscalable workloads and unprovable AI value. By tying AI directly to analyst productivity and governing it by design, Securonix gives security leaders a practical, defensible way to scale operations that stands up to board and regulatory scrutiny.” CX leaders should pay attention. Security often pioneers governance patterns that CX later adopts. Boards no longer ask whether AI exists. They ask if it is governed, measurable, and trusted. Key shifts CXQuest.com highlights: • Measure AI by work completed, not clicks or tokens. • Embed policy guardrails before scaling autonomy. • Translate AI output into financial language. • Protect human judgment at decision points. The broader lesson is clear. AI must prove productivity. It must scale responsibly. It must survive regulatory scrutiny. The future of enterprise AI will not be defined by copilots. It will be defined by governed systems that complete real work. https://lnkd.in/gDDU7za4 #ProductivityBasedAI #EnterpriseAI #CXStrategy #EXLeadership #Cybersecurity #AI Governance #DigitalTransformation #BoardroomStrategy #SOCAutomation

Differentiated hybrid multi-cloud capabilities position NTAP to participate in enterprise AI infrastructure spend. The enterprise storage market has not seen the same AI-fueled exponential growth that servers and networking markets have experienced since 2023, likely because the vast majority of investments to date have gone towards training foundational models at hyperscalers rather than enterprise on-premise AI deployment (where storage OEMs like NetApp participate). That said, momentum in enterprise AI infrastructure and data lake modernization is building, with management highlighting expectations for a sequential ramp throughout F2026. In F2Q26, NTAP closed approximately 200 AI deals across geographies, industries, and use cases. The company has characterized these deals in three major buckets: (1) Data preparation (~45% of deals); (2) inference use cases like RAG or reinforcement learning (~30%); and (3) training & fine tuning (~25%).
