Across IT, acronyms come with the territory. Whether they classic ones like ENIAC (electronic numerical integrator and computer) or the just a tad more modern VAX (Virtual Address eXtension), network based TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/internet protocol) or XNS (Xerox Network Systems), or cyber security related like NGAV (next-gen antivirus), DLP (data loss prevention) or IDS (intrusion detection system), the acronyms and the process of keeping up with them is endless.

Last week I had the pleasure of attending IGEL’s end-user computing (EUC) flagship event: Now and Next 2025. Hosted in Miami, Florida, the event is one of the biggest events for EUC professionals and vendors. It’s rare to get so many EUC professionals in one place, all singularly focused on this unique market, which is often an afterthought in the larger tech conferences. First, a little bit about IGEL.

Last week, SUSE hosted SUSECon '25 in Orlando, FL. Although SUSE has been in the open source game for decades, they've been getting increased attention with some seasoned leadership coming from competitor Red Hat, its acquisition of much-loved Rancher, and changing expectations/norms in the open source ecosystem. SUSE's big message started with a commitment to Linux, open-source innovation, and choice.

On April 8th to 10th, Intel hosted its annual Vision conference. In attendance were hundreds of enterprise clients, partners, press, and industry analysts. It’s an exciting time for Intel. It’s been a long time since CIOs, CTOs, and IT leaders have considered Intel a top strategic IT partner. Even though its silicon was embedded throughout their environment, they didn’t really need to think about it as silicon wasn’t a major strategic decision. AI changes all this.
