In May 2026, Microsoft announced it had built an AI system that hunts for security flaws in its own software, and warned customers that security updates would get bigger as a result. Two months later, its July update fixed a record 622 vulnerabilities in a single day, roughly triple the previous month. Two of those […]
If your business uses software to help screen job applicants, approve tenants, score loan applications, or evaluate employees, that software now comes with a compliance obligation. California’s rules on Automated Decisionmaking Technology (ADMT) were finalized in late 2025 and took effect this year, with full compliance required by January 1, 2027. They’re among the most […]
It’s 2:47 PM on a Friday. A controller at a manufacturing firm in El Segundo gets a voicemail. It’s her CEO’s voice: his cadence, his slight impatience, even the way he clears his throat. He needs a vendor payment pushed through before the bank’s wire cutoff. The email with updated account details is already in […]
Ask most business owners why they hired a managed IT provider and you’ll hear some version of “to stop the bleeding.” No more surprise repair bills, no more scrambling when something breaks, just one predictable invoice a month. That’s a reasonable place to start. It’s also the wrong thing to shop for. What you’re really […]
AI has changed in a way that matters for how you use it. The tools that once only drafted text and answered questions can now take action. An agent can handle a request, update a record, and move a task forward on its own. That sounds like a reason to build a grand plan. It […]
Microsoft 365 is a platform most organizations are already paying for, but Copilot keeps changing what that investment actually delivers. Over the past 90 days, Microsoft pushed out a wave of updates that are easy to miss unless you’re paying close attention. Some are quality-of-life improvements. Others are legitimately workflow-changing. These five updates are the […]
AI tools are quickly moving from simple assistants to active participants in business workflows. They can write code, organize files, summarize data, update systems and automate repetitive work. That productivity has real value, but it also introduces a serious operational risk: when AI has access to the wrong systems, one bad action can create a […]
Virtuous released data earlier this year that stopped me mid-scroll: 92% of nonprofits have adopted AI tools in some form, but only 7% report seeing meaningful impact. Nonprofit AI adoption impact is, by those numbers, almost entirely theoretical. Organizations are paying for tools, logging in, generating outputs, and walking away with very little that changed […]
Ransomware is still one of the fastest ways for a mid-size business to lose momentum. In Los Angeles, that risk is amplified by hybrid work, multiple offices, vendor-heavy operations, aging infrastructure, and constant pressure around uptime and data protection. When ransomware hits, it is not just a cybersecurity issue. It becomes an operations issue, a […]
A lot of Los Angeles nonprofits qualify for Microsoft 365 nonprofit licensing and still end up paying for it in other ways: messy collaboration, inconsistent access, avoidable security gaps, and renewals that feel like a gamble. The licensing is real value. The miss is assuming that value shows up automatically after assigning those seats. Microsoft […]
