The cloud has become more than a place to store pet photos or selfie duplicates. Its evolution in the tech space has made it more than an offsite data backup solution or out-of-sight alternative to physical servers and hard drives. Today's best cloud offerings--some accompanied by additional services--showcase just how far the magic of tech has come. If the early cloud offerings were white, puffy and barely understood, today's versions are just the opposite. Think massive, intricate, complex systems with features that can maintain or make a business. [...]

Most people graduate college and don't have a clear direction on where to go with their education and degree to succeed in professional work. Joel Thacker, an Account Executive at IT Outlet, was experiencing this same feeling. After I graduated from college with my business degree, I didn't know what I was going to do, said Thacker.

My story is a little more unique than the average bear, but my journey to move my career toward sales could be relatable to someone looking to make that decision. When I was a young kid, I got a typical 9 to 5 job but then transitioned into the restaurant/retail industry. My career had become stagnant. I was stuck and felt like I couldn't get out. Through the years, I met my now wife, and we had opposite schedules; as she was coming home from work, I was walking [...]

I joined the IT Outlet initially out of necessity. While living in Kansas, I had just recently graduated with my Master's Degree and my wife and I were moving back to Sioux Falls to be closer to our family after having our first daughter the year before. As much as I had tried, I couldn't find a job in my field and essentially took the only one that was offered. I've had sales positions in the past, so I figured it would at least be something I could do [...]

Today, nearly all organizations have adopted the cloud to modernize their operations, enable rapid innovation, and accelerate growth. The Fortinet 2021 Cloud Security Report, a global survey of 572 cybersecurity professionals, reported that almost 33% of enterprises are running more than half of their workloads in the cloud. Moreover, that percentage is expected to increase to nearly 56% in the next 12-18 months. Many of these organizations have multiple disparate security solutions deployed, with few that integrate. And with each cloud environment, management complexity increases as each one presents a [...]

So, for those of us looking to truly be a part of a rewarding culture or work family (and who isn't), what can we do to separate truth [...]

First, consider this: data is the new oil. Based on how much we use and rely on data in our home and professional lives, such a bold claim seems to hold serious merit. Where can we go in life without the aid of gas in the tank or something made with oil-based material to get us there?
