Thread regarding CDW layoffs

Delusional Allusion of IT Execs at the CDW Executive SummIT

How much did CDW pay to host the CDW Executive SummIT and give advice to customers and partners that is not followed internally? Unbelievable to see people standing around talking and smiling all the while knowing CDW itself is only recently adding industry standard technology.

The CDW laptop standard image is the worst I've seen with updates lasting for at least a week and missing drivers.

Professional services has the best technologists because they have to work with customers. The other technologists are not allowed to showcase their real skills because of bad grandstanding management.

There is no thought leadership, more follow what everyone else is doing.

The policies don't even match how the laptop image is configured. Wonder how many employees are saving their passwords in Edge?

ServiceNow is under utilized

Lol, you think our struggles are because we haven't used ServiceNow enough? Yikes.

@6kxz+1v7MGay5 of course the CDW stock has been downgraded. Foolish spending abounds, ServiceNow is under utilized, though some teams have great implementations.
Problem is enough of the technologies are partially implemented and other technologies have been procured that overlap.

CDW (NASDAQ:CDW) was in focus on Monday as J.P. Morgan downgraded the IT company, citing a concern over enterprise spending.

ITS and GIS leverage the Cisco partnership and implement Duo for MFA, has better features and supports more mobile devices.

Don’t forget Kohls where we got our incredible business transformation leader.

  • If by "smaller," you mean "non-existent," then yes.

It is plain to see it is a dying enterprise but there is probably five years left attempting to succeed

I just landed a job since being laid-off from the Backbone. The reason CDW is losing money is they made bad acquisitions. The acquisition of Sirius was for their expertise but mostly their existing customer base.

Bad strategy to rely on the customer base of a company for revenue from IT solutions when there is a decline in reliance on laptops.

I'm using virtualization rather than a desktop at my new employer. They rather virtualization desktops than hardware as the cost of ownership is less. Yes they are a CDW customer and plan to continue replacing laptops with virtualization for remote employees.

Sorry CDW leaders, your Citrix implementation is really bad.
