Early Morning Byte: Wednesday, June 4, 2025

🔥 Still putting out fires? You’re not alone.

Good Morning, 👩‍💻👨‍💻

Still putting out fires? You’re definitely not the only one. Even with all the talk of digital transformation, a lot of IT teams are still stuck in reactive mode, chasing issues, juggling tickets, and trying to keep up with rising expectations around digital experience. But there’s a quiet shift happening. More teams are starting to use endpoint data and AI not just to fix problems faster, but to spot them before they happen.

It’s less about new tools, more about having the right visibility at the right time.

Lakeside Software and HCLTech are diving into this in a live session on June 5, check it out if this hits close to home.

💡 Here’s what’s catching our eye midweek:

  • New CIO at Home Depot: Angie Brown steps into the role, leading tech for one of retail’s biggest players.

  • Gmail’s quiet AI upgrade: Google’s new assistant is changing how you read email without you even noticing.

  • GPT at Moderna: A peek into how one leader is using AI to bring more clarity and alignment to their team.

  • Trimming SaaS to fund AI: Smart ways companies are freeing up budget by streamlining their software stacks.

  • Microsoft’s $400M AI bet: Big investment, big signal — and Switzerland is the launchpad.
