On the road again, I can’t wait to get on the road again….or can we? Many jobs require a great deal of pavement time. Whether that is to and from the office or for many, the car is your office and your time on the road is where you literally work. This is why we at Pendello were so excited for Ford’s announcement at CES 2019 that by 2022 they will be equipping all cars with C-V2 5G technology. This new and exciting technology will allow for car-to-car communications and will hopefully save lives, money and the hassle that is associated with accidents.

Yubikey by Yubiko was a hit at last week’s CES 2019. Fans of this multifactor authentication device were already singing its praises, but these praises multiplied when Yubiko announced it now is compatible with iPhones and will be available soon to all users. Yubiko is a relatively new company so many have not heard the incredible reputation it is developing in the world of data security so if you are one of these individuals, dial in now and continue reading! Large corporations like Google and Facebook, who have extreme needs to secure data are already on board with Yubiko and have seen great success with their security needs.

CES 2019 which is owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association is coming to a close tomorrow and once again has wowed the world with new announcements of groundbreaking technology and solutions.

This month Pendello Solutions is taking a closer look at the Internet of Things (IoT) designed with businesses in mind. There are a plethora of IoT devices, but most of the well-known devices are intended for personal use in the home. Here at Pendello Solutions, business technology is our business, and we thought many of you might want to learn a bit more about how IoT is shaping the business world.

We now have new air, a pro, and a mini!

Last week, in Brooklyn, New York, Apple held its hardware event where they announced their Mac and iPad news. As always, Apple’s releases are exciting, and a few heavily requested updates were met! The announcements included a new and improved Mac Book Air, the return of the Mac Mini and an iPad Pro.

Microsoft Ignite, the infamous Microsoft Conference which gathers over 30,000 attendees and announces incredible news. Ignite was held once again in Orlando, Florida and the report again did not disappoint. There was so much news that all press received a 27-page booklet detailing all announcements. Although all announcements were exciting in their own right, there were a few that really tickled our fancy, and we hope they get you jumping for joy as well.
