Ransomware is up. Downtime costs are climbing. Recovery expectations are higher than ever. This World Backup Day, make sure your backup strategy is built for recovery — not just storage!! Because when it happens, recovery is everything. #WorldBackupDay #MSPCommunity #ITSecurity #BusinessContinuity #MSPSuccessAmplified #ProVal

IT leaders are under more pressure than ever. From tighter security requirements, to rising downtime risks, a fully remote workforce, and desktop environments that keep getting more complicated. This is exactly where Trusted Advisors can step in with real value. Desktop as a Service gives clients something they rarely get today: consistent, secure, reliable desktops no matter where their teams work.

📣 Announcing our partnership with MongoDB: The AI Stack that runs on the database you already trust We've partnered with MongoDB so teams can go from prototype to production leveraging existing Atlas deployment, without standing up parallel infrastructure. Atlas Vector Search plugs directly into langchain as a drop-in retriever for semantic, hybrid, and GraphRAG queries. The MongoDB Checkpointer for LangSmith Deployment persists agent state (multi-turn memory, human-in-the-loop workflows, audit trails) directly in Atlas. Text-to-MQL lets agents query operational data in plain English. And LangSmith traces everything end to end, from retrieval calls to routing decisions to state transitions. ➡️ Read the announcement: https://lnkd.in/euhrUfN6 ➡️ Check out the MongoDB docs: https://lnkd.in/efnMyncJ ➡️ Check out our docs: https://lnkd.in/eewuc9Ww

What happens when AI amplifies — instead of replaces — human expertise? AI drives the most value when it elevates human expertise. In modern operations, the differentiator isn’t the toolset, it’s how specialists apply their domain knowledge with AI working alongside them. Vladimir Lukic, Global Leader, Tech & Digital Advantage Practice at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), in conversation with Ganesh Ayyar, President, APJ and Industry Solutions Group at Cognizant, shares a powerful example from radiology. For years, it was predicted that AI would automate the field. Instead, radiologists became more essential, using AI running quietly in the background to increase accuracy, speed up detection, and focus on higher value clinical judgment. A reminder that the future of work isn’t humans vs. AI; it is humans with AI. Know more about how Cognizant is leading in the AI era here: https://cgnz.at/6048QIbgq

Earlier this month, our APAC Technical Services team gathered in Sydney to align on our customer-first mindset, deepen technical expertise, and strengthen collaboration across regions and functions. 🇦🇺 What did attendees have to say? 💚 "It was an energising week of connection, learning, and teamwork." (John Yu) 💚 "It was a massive networking opportunity and a rare chance to step away from the day-to-day to discuss the things that matter on a greater scale. Plus, some pretty great team-building activities to top it off." (Seemi Hasan) 💚 "My key take away was that AI is rapidly becoming part of every aspect of how we work — from problem solving to customer support. The real transformation lies in how quickly we adapt and integrate AI as a daily co-pilot in our work." (Reghu Jeganathan) Join us in APAC to help shape the way AI applications will be built -- with MongoDB as the data platform of choice 👉 https://lnkd.in/embntbB8 #LifeAtMongoDB
