DEX Data Is Too Valuable to Limit to IT

For many organizations, digital employee experience (DEX) is still viewed as an IT project. It measures endpoint health, identifies performance issues, and helps service desks resolve incidents faster. While that’s useful, it’s also far too small a vision. In order to get the greatest return from DEX, organizations have to stop treating it as exclusively an engineering capability and started treating it as an equally powerful intelligence capability.

What Is Network Latency? Causes, How to Measure It, and Ways to Reduce It

Slow application complaints are among the hardest tickets in IT to close. The network gets blamed first; the dashboard shows nothing wrong, and the ticket bounces between teams for a week.

Most dashboards report latency as a single average, and that average hides the slow requests people actually notice. A path can average 30 ms and still drop a call every ten minutes.

What Is a Vulnerability Scan? How It Works and What the Results Mean

How many machines in your environment are running software with a publicly documented security flaw right now? That figure comes from an asset inventory, and asset records age quickly once they are written. The gap is rarely about tooling budgets.

Manual inspection loses that race inside the first month.

That is why server monitoring tools remain essential for maintaining infrastructure health, ensuring application availability, and delivering consistent user experiences across modern IT environments.

Spend More Time Talking to Humans

A few months ago, I noticed something happening. I would spend all day working with LLMs—prompting them, reviewing their work, and correcting them—and when I wasn’t working on my own code, I was reviewing LLM-generated code. By the end of the day, I was exhausted. This was a very unusual thing for me: I’ve been a software developer at startups for 30 years, and while sometimes I might have gotten stressed out, I had never been exhausted by the actual act of writing code.

Why Managed IT Solutions Are Critical for Protecting Sensitive Business Data

Every business, big or small, stores lots of sensitive information about their customers, finances, and day-to-day operations. Because businesses use an increasing number of digital tools to handle everything they do, there's a much higher chance that all this private info could be exposed, lost, or stolen.

JavaScript Error Monitoring: 12 Best Practices to Cut Noise & Ship Fixes Faster

Most of what shows up in a JavaScript error tracker isn't a bug you need to fix; it's noise. Third-party scripts, browser extensions, and edge-case devices flood the feed, and the errors actually hurting your users get lost in it. This guide covers 12 production-tested practices for setting up JavaScript error monitoring that surfaces real, user-impacting bugs, not console spam, plus the error types you'll run into most often and how to configure alerting so your team stops getting paged for noise.
