March 18th @ 10 AM CST Entelligence Unplugged — Delivering IT Services, From the Consultant POV Register here: https://lnkd.in/giqQS8dWSam Cosby shared thisThis Wednesday, we’re taking a closer look at how IT services delivery works in practice — directly from the consultants responsible for the outcomes. In this episode of Entelligence Unplugged, Delivering IT Services, From the Consultant POV, our team will discuss: ▪️ What “First-Time-Right” delivery looks like day-to-day ▪️ Why a team of experts collaborating creates the best outcomes ▪️ How continuous enablement empowers consultants to take on top-level engagements If you work with VMware by Broadcom — or deliver services around complex platforms — this conversation will be especially relevant.

Sam Cosby reposted thisSam Cosby reposted thisMost deployment challenges don’t come from bad technology. They come from fragmented execution. Unclear scope. The wrong expertise at the wrong time. Manual handoffs. No shared view of progress or risk. That’s why even the best software can struggle to deliver value after purchase. In her latest blog, Entelligence VP of Sales Susie Wright outlines what separates successful enterprise deployments from stalled ones. The shift is toward: ▪️ Standardized, repeatable delivery models ▪️ Proactive risk management (not reactive firefighting) ▪️ Clear ownership from intake to go-live ▪️ AI-enabled orchestration that keeps teams aligned Read the full blog here → https://lnkd.in/ebBPjgZEBest Practices for Fast, Low-Risk Software DeploymentsBest Practices for Fast, Low-Risk Software Deployments

Sam Cosby reposted thisSam Cosby reposted thisAre you treating your private cloud infrastructure like infrastructure — or like a strategic growth engine? Upgrading to VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 isn’t about keeping current — it’s about unlocking real agility, scale, and operational simplicity for your entire stack. Here’s what organizations are gaining with VCF 9: ▪️ A unified operations model that reduces complexity and risk. ▪️ A modern, modular architecture that makes lifecycle management easier. ▪️ Higher performance and efficiency across compute, networking, and storage. ▪️ Better hybrid cloud interoperability with consistent governance. ▪️ Stronger automation, governance, and APIs so your teams can do more with less. But here’s the catch: the upgrade path matters. Without the right planning and execution model, an upgrade effort can drag on — and derail priorities.

Sam Cosby reposted thisSam Cosby reposted thisDo you actually need a CNAPP, or just fewer tools? As cloud environments scale, many teams respond by adding point solutions: • One tool for posture • One for workloads • One for identities • One for runtime threats Individually, they’re useful. Together, they often create noise, blind spots, and coordination challenges. A Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) exists to solve that exact problem — by correlating risk across configuration, identity, workloads, and runtime activity instead of treating them in isolation. The real question isn’t “Is CNAPP a good idea?” It’s “Has your cloud environment reached the point where fragmented security is now a liability?” This article breaks down: ✔️ What CNAPPs include ✔️ Why they matter now ✔️ How to tell if your environment is ready Read the full breakdown here: https://loom.ly/fwgBORo

Sam Cosby liked thisSam Cosby liked this29 years. Today. I started this company on April 1, 1997 with a simple belief: if you put the right people on the right problems and deliver on what you promise, everything else takes care of itself. I still believe that. What I couldn't see back then was just how much the people would matter. Not as a company. As individuals. Real people with lives and families and hopes and dreams. These are the people who show up every day and carry hard things with care. The ones who care about the mission as much as I do. The ones who make me better at this than I could ever be alone. And I'll be honest with you: I've never had more fun in my life. Not because it's easy. Because I assure you, it's not. Building something this ambitious, at a moment when the entire industry is being rewritten, is not easy. But easy was never the goal. What I'm after is something that actually changes an industry: a software execution platform that solves the nagging problem the software industry has lived with for decades and mostly stopped questioning. The execution gap. The space between when a software deal closes and when value actually shows up for the customer. We've been living in that gap for 29 years. Now we're building the execution rail to close it. The vision is coming into focus in a way I haven't felt before. The team, the platform, the market timing...it's all happening. And I genuinely can't wait for what's next. To everyone at Entelligence: thank you! This is yours as much as it is mine. Year 30 starts now.

Sam Cosby liked thisSam Cosby liked thisIn an era where AI is helping organizations release more code every day, the need for a robust security solution is critical. That’s why CNAPPs have taken off. But value only shows up when teams: ▪️ Prioritize risk instead of chasing alerts ▪️ Align security controls to real workloads and owners ▪️ Treat CNAPP as a program, not a product ▪️ Measure success in reduced exposure, not tool adoption This article breaks down what CNAPPs are, when they make sense, and how to approach adoption with clarity—not chaos.

Sam Cosby liked thisSam Cosby liked thisOne thing I’ve noticed recently: A lot of strong candidates are getting passed on—not because they lack technical skills, but because they can’t clearly explain what they’ve done. The engineers standing out right now can: • Break down complex work in simple terms • Speak to impact, not just tasks • Communicate confidently with non-technical teams Technical skills get you in the door. Communication is what gets you the offer. Curious if others are seeing the same thing.

Let's talk: Salary negotiations 💰 Salary negotiations as a technical recruiter in the defense sector come with unique nuances compared to commercial tech mostly due to Labor Category Constraints. Many defense roles are tied to government-set labor categories and pay bands. As a technical recruiter when negotiating with candidates: ✔️ Be transparent about salary ceilings early. 💯 ✔️ Sell total compensation: defense contractors often underbid salary but will add strong benefits (retirement matching, PTO, stability, mission impact). Pro Tip: Know when you can ask for more and learn how flexible your PM/PCA can be - sometimes there’s unallocated budget, but it will require justification.

📊 Contingent Workforce: The Unsung Hero of Telecom Expansion Most people don’t realize that rapid 5G deployment, fiber rollouts, and infrastructure modernization projects are largely driven by contract engineers. Contingent hiring offers speed, flexibility, and deep specialization. And as a recruiter, it’s my job to match these agile professionals to the roles where they can make real impact. The future of telecom hiring? It’s lean, fast, and built on expert contractors. #TelecomTrends #ContingentWorkforce #TelecomProjects #RecruiterInsights #5GExpansion

Fiber network provider FiberLight, LLC has just announced a $350 million investment to expand high-capacity fiber infrastructure across West Texas, bringing its total regional investment to nearly $500 million. This expansion includes 1,400 miles of new fiber routes designed specifically to support hyperscale and AI workloads. This is significant because fiber capacity is now just as critical as power when it comes to supporting next-generation AI data centers. At the same time, developers are pushing forward with new hyperscale campuses in Texas, including projects engineered to deliver over 1 gigawatt of compute capacity, specifically designed to support hyperscale AI and cloud environments. What this tells us is clear: ⚡ Power availability is driving site selection 🌐 Fiber connectivity is now mission-critical infrastructure 🏗️ Hyperscale campuses are scaling to unprecedented sizes 🤖 AI is accelerating demand faster than anyone predicted We’re seeing West Texas, Abilene, Midland, and Dallas rapidly emerge as major global hubs for AI infrastructure. The scale of infrastructure being built right now across Texas is unlike anything we’ve seen before. If you work in hyperscale construction or infrastructure, the next few years are going to be defining for the industry. #DataCenters #Hyperscale #AIInfrastructure #Texas #DigitalInfrastructure #CloudComputing #MissionCritical #Construction #AI #DataCenterDevelopment #Infrastructure #Recruitment

GDIT Tip for Applying! Check your Spam Folders! Many times recruiters will send you emails through software programs such as the Application Tracking System (ATS) or Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) software. Your email program will see that it is a 3rd party software and may send it to the Spam fold. This could be the written Offer you have been waiting for and don't want to miss. If you ever receive something in your Spam folder, you can set your system setting to send it to your InBox instead. Don't miss an important message...

Data center capital expenditure (CapEx) is projected to reach approximately $650 billion to $690 billion in 2026, driven by an intense AI infrastructure race among major U.S. technology firms. Hyperscalers are heavily investing in AI, with combined spending from top companies likely to exceed $700 billion. Key investments include AI, networking, and data center facilities. That's a lot of CAPEX and a lot of manpower! Talent will be in high demand.

Does hiring cleared talent for defense projects take your team months? In a sector where every deadline matters, relying on traditional hiring can leave your mission-critical projects vulnerable to delays and costly penalties. Here's how specialized staffing solutions can accelerate your defense timelines: - Bypass Hiring Bottlenecks: Specialized recruiters with access to cleared talent pools can reduce hiring cycles from months to just weeks, ensuring your team is ready when you need them. - Ensure Rapid Deployment: Staffing partners provide pre-vetted, compliance-ready professionals, allowing you to quickly scale up or down to meet urgent project needs or unexpected shifts in workload. - Minimize Compliance Risks: From DoD regulations to security clearance protocols, a dedicated staffing partner manages the complex compliance process, ensuring your workforce is ready to go without delays. For defense contractors and leaders, understanding these agile staffing strategies isn't just about filling roles—it’s about enabling project success and mitigating significant risks. Ready to see how accelerated talent acquisition can keep your defense projects on track and on budget? Read the full blog post to dive deeper: https://lnkd.in/gmb4Vp-u
