The ICYMI Weekly Round-Up: November 27–December 1, 2017

Greetings. In case you were wondering, “ICYMI” is short for “in case you missed it.” And because of last week’s Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., this is a special, two-week digest of recent news, events, and content in and around Ivanti and Ivanti.com. We hope you find it both interesting and useful. Let us know via email to [email protected] – and thanks!

This Week’s Big News: That’s Our Opinion (and a Few of Yours)

Ivanti is more than just a broad portfolio of solutions for a variety of IT-empowered, business-critical tasks and functions. Ivanti is also a nexus of experienced, passionate experts in multiple areas. Some are Ivanti team members, some are partners, and some are customers. And they all have opinions about a broad range of subjects, from the latest cybersecurity vulnerabilities and breaches to what the coming year will bring for IT.

This week’s blog posts provide a great sampling of some of those opinions. So check them out, below and online. Who knows? You might be moved to express one or more of your own.

Coming Up This Week

Two webinars on Dec. 5 – one on What’s New in Ivanti Avalanche 6.2, and one on how to improve IT management services and processes for your business (in Italian). On Dec. 6, you can find Ivanti at the ITSM Exchange in Minneapolis, MN, and at the Blue Light Innovation Summit in London, UK. We’ve also got a webinar that day, on “Why SAM (Software Asset Management)” – and no, the “A” is not for “avoidance.”

On Dec. 7, Ivanti will be at The Cyber Security Summit in Manchester, UK. We’ve got two webinars that day as well, one on Using Microsoft AutoPilot and Intune with Ivanti Workspace Manager, and another on extending SCCM with third-party patch management (in French).

We hope to see and talk with you at one or more of these events, in person or online. Make sure to share these opportunities with your colleagues, and to check the Ivanti Events Calendar for more details and updates.
