“AI needs data we don’t have.”  “AI requires a dedicated team that we don’t have.”  “AI is out of budget.”  “We don’t know where to start.”  “We don’t have the right tools.”    This is what I often hear when speaking with business leaders, mostly from mid-sized organizations.   I get it. The pressure is real—innovate faster, cut costs, do more with less.    But here’s what I’m seeing every day: If you’re already on Microsoft 365, Azure, or Power BI, you’ve got more of the foundation than you think.    The tools are accessible, the path is clearer than it looks, and you don’t need a massive budget; you need a clear problem and a small, smart start.    When customers ask to “get started” with AI, we walk them through our ImpactNOW solution.   It helps identify where AI will have the most impact and singles out a specific use case so its investment can be proven in weeks, not months.     That’s the key: focus on one small project to get rolling. From there, you can add more use cases and clearly see the value AI delivers across your business.   I wrote more on this topic here: https://lnkd.in/g_nF3nf3   Learn more about ImpactNOW: https://lnkd.in/g5XfaQUR  ProArch Microsoft Lakshman Kaveti Ben Wilcox Chris Vogel Jim Spignardo 🌥️✨Gregory Dodge Luke Bixby Michael W.

Data stewardship is often the first step when organizations begin their data governance journey. Yet many initiatives stall for three common reasons: ⚠️ Starting with tools too early ⚠️ Lack of leadership commitment ⚠️ Trying to do too much too soon This is just one of the insights from our webinar on how to build effective data stewardship programs in just 30 days.

Every missed patch or delayed OS upgrade is a security gap waiting to be exploited. With Windows 10 support ending this October, relying on manual upgrades and scattered tracking isn’t just inefficient—it’s risky. Unsupported systems can break compliance and disrupt productivity. On September 10 at 2 PM ET, join our webinar to see how Microsoft Intune helps you close those gaps and secure your upgrade process Register now → https://hubs.la/Q03F_pX30 #Windows11 #Intune #EndpointSecurity #PatchManagement #Webinar

You can’t talk about security without talking about Microsoft. Check out some of ProArch’s most-read resources on Microsoft Security: 🔗Microsoft 365 E5 Security Add-On: E5 Security Without the E5 Price Tag: https://hubs.la/Q03FNZWq0 🔗Microsoft 365 Licensing E3 vs. E5: Top 5 Security Differences: https://hubs.la/Q03FN-910 🔗5 Things You Must Do to Improve Microsoft 365 Security: https://hubs.la/Q03FNZ7y0 #MicrosoftSecurity #Microsoft365Security

Every third-party security tool you add increases gaps, complexity, and costs🙀 If you're using Microsoft 365, consolidating security with Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 gives you better visibility, control, and AI-driven insights all in one platform. E3 = Essential security (email protection, identity management, endpoint security) E5 = AI-driven threat protection, automated response, proactive defense But is E3 enough, or do you need E5’s advanced protection?

“AI isn’t one thing. It’s many things. The real challenge for leaders is figuring out where it actually creates value.” – Jim Spignardo 🌥️✨ Director of Cloud Strategy & AI Enablement at ProArch On the AI for Founders podcast with Ryan Estes, Jim talked about how leaders can actually create real business impact with AI. The takeaways: ✔ Start with pain points and define business use cases before chasing tools ✔ Look for high-value, low-friction use cases ✔ Put governance and AI usage policies in place early ✔ Measure impact continuously and make AI adoption part of everyday workflows As Jim puts it: AI isn’t a “nice-to-have.” It’s becoming the way work gets done.
