Tech Journal Letter From the Editor

When our editorial team sat down to brainstorm this issue of the Tech Journal, we found ourselves musing over the vast complexity and exciting growth of the IT landscape today — the speed, the entanglement, the unseen threats. Someone jokingly sang the lyric, “Welcome to the jungle” and it made us all laugh and lean back into our chairs with a sense of arrival. Welcome to the jungle, indeed.

Decisions about IT can feel daunting. Risky. Knowing which choices to make and feeling trepidation about starting the journey can leave you standing still and vulnerable.

In this month’s cover story by Insight North America President Joyce Mullen, you’ll hear how a journey up Africa’s highest mountain helped her appreciate the power of placing your trust in others to guide you — because what’s unknown to you is someone else’s expertise.

There’s more to explore in this issue, including guidance for evading cyber predators with perimeter security and the story of a digital transformation journey told by the Vice President of IT for Westerra Credit Union. We’ll also show you the way to operationalizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) with MLOps.

The digital jungle is lush with opportunity — we’re here to help you discover it. Enjoy this issue of the Tech Journal, and best wishes on your next IT adventure.
