On the 19th I head off to the Varnex. The conference is put on by IT product distributor Synnex, and will be held in Philadelphia. Looking ahead, here are some lists of things I do and don’t want to see:
NO, THANK YOU…
1- Digital Signage: Synnex has really pushed this at their events over the past few years. To be honest, I’m a little “digitally signed out”. Sure, Wasatch Software would love to add digital signage to our repertoire. However, this is a complimentary offering, and we are more focused on building our core services right now.
2- Printing Solutions: This seems to be another pet offering of Synnex. Sorry, I have also had my fill of pitches on managed print services and all the other printer related stuff. Another complimentary offering to what Wasatch is all about. Maybe another day I’ll decide to get this part of the business going.
YES, I WANT MORE…
1- Network Monitoring Solutions: Wasatch Software is on the cusp of choosing a new network monitoring solution for our managed services program. I look forward to talking with some of my colleagues about what they’re using, and also with vendors. I do have one particular solution in mind and plan to get a test unit shipped back to the office while I’m in Philly.
2- Business Building Workshops: I always love these sessions. Sure, not everything on the schedule can be a workshop, but these make the trip worth it.
3- Roundtable Discussions: The only better way to talk with peers about what is and isn’t working is over a cocktail.
Now you have my two cents. Naturally, many of my colleagues will have differing opinions. I guess that’s why we have a ton of choices at these events!
