#TheEndOfTheDayWithRay!
My schedule changed last week because I had to cover Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc.'s big news regarding the divesting of one of the All Covered asset, FORZA. Most in the industry probably agreed with me that this divestiture was long overdue!
Also, we should expect many more changes regarding All Covered: IT Services from Konica Minolta. I still believe KMBS will divest from all of it. Stay tuned.
So, on Monday, I will cover TD SYNNEX North America all TD SYNNEX 2nd Qtr and share what I see as a possible future for how TD SYNNEX interacts with its resellers. In my opinion, the status quo is not the forward direction.
On Tuesday, I will share some thoughts regarding the U.S. government banning Kaspersky on all devices belonging to U.S. residents and citizens. If only the U.S. government would also ban the PRC-owned Lexmark, as they have with Kaspersky!
It seems we all better get more diligent on technology products from foreign adversaries current or potential.
I will also discuss thoughts regarding the Big hack involving CDK Global, the global car dealer management system, you would think all car dealers would now question all the technology they use, especially those who use technology equipment from a subsidiary of a PRC banned by U.S. Department of Homeland Security as part of the #UFLPA, specifically Ninestar Corporation's subsidiary Lexmark.
Later in the week, I will discuss some thoughts regarding how I interpret a lesson from a corporate titan to benefit the industry as its actors journey through transition and disruption.
I will leave some time open in case one of our industry's OEMs or mega dealers inspires my imagination or validates what I have already imagined.
See everyone on Monday. Have a great week, my friends!
