Your daily digest of tech news, IT stories, and SaaS productivity tips.
| | Hey there. Thought I'd send you a quick note before the weekend.
You're probably thinking, "Wait, he sends us a note every single day." And that's very true! If you noticed, I'm glad you noticed.
But today I won't editorialize anything. Instead, I thought I'd call your attention to a (not so) little thing we call The SaaSOps Show. You might already know our fearless hosts, Justine and Brian. And you also might recognize their latest guest: David Politis, Founder and CEO of BetterCloud.
Before you head out of the (virtual) office today, give the show a chance. Justine and Brian do a great job of unpacking the latest trends in IT and SaaSOps. And occasionally, they answer age-old questions, like whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza (it doesn't). |
