Your IT bill isn't "complex", its confusing cause its designed to leak money
Most organisations don’t have an IT cost problem. They have a clarity problem that creates the IT cost problem— and it quietly turns into a productivity, security, and agility problem. Here’s the pattern we see over and over - A “managed support” invoice that reads like ancient runes Surprise out-of-scope hours (aka budget roulette ) Tool sprawl - EDR here, backup there, phishing somewhere else, “monitoring” allegedly happening… And the scariest line item of all - downtime

2024's Threat Surge Isn’t “A Bad Year” — It’s the New Baseline (and Your Digital Strategy Needs to Admit That)
If your digital strategy still treats IT as an expense line to be reduced, or your MSP dominates that expense line offering exceptions over elusive value, and cybersecurity becomes a neglected “workstream” (something the security team does after the real work), Radware’s 2025 Global Threat Analysis Report is your rude awakening. With comprehensive world wide discovery and research backing the report, 2024 didn’t just bring “more attacks.” It delivered an operational environm

Think Differently → Different Outcomes - Why “Rare” Digital Enablement Is Now a Survival Skill
When the world is pouring trillions into IT and transformation, the organisations that win won’t be the ones with the most tools or polished policies — they’ll be the ones with the cleanest and clearest most coherent strategy, the sharpest execution, the least self-inflicted “digital fog.” Gartner forecasts worldwide IT spending will exceed US$6.08T in 2026. And IDC forecasts digital transformation spend reaching ~US$3.9T by 2027.
So the spending is real. The urgency is rea

Winning With AI Isn’t a Policy Toggle — It’s an Operating Rhythm
Flip on a tool, draft some words in a policy (and without context) and call it “AI strategy,” and you’ll get speed without sense—and often eloquent issues, confusion and or bugs at scale. The real win is a tight triple loop behavioural change model -use-case → framework → model → refine behaviour. Do that, and outputs arrive faster, sound like you, cite sources, and pass audit and change behaviour. Miss it, and you upscale and diversify chaos.
