E5 • Mar 1, 2026 • 35 mins

Chris Engler delves into IT modernization with David Swenson, focusing on device management via Intune and Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. They explore feedback mechanisms, generative AI in business, and modern workplace strategies. As CIO at NetLogic, Swenson shares insights on IT operational overhead, best practices, and global strategy consensus. The episode highlights the evolution of the My 365 program, MSP partner support, AI's role in IT, and lessons from lean manufacturing. It concludes with the benefits of standardization in IT support and a preview of upcoming events.

Key Points

  • Modernization exposes inconsistencies and breaks incompatible systems, requiring a unified baseline for success.
  • The biggest universal challenge in modernizing IT across sectors is dealing with inconsistent foundations and legacy policies.
  • MSPs need consistency, predictability, and confidence more than new features, which is why shared baselines and real-world education are crucial.
