Windows 10 hit end of life in October 2025. If your organization is still running it, you are now six months unpatched. At the same time, Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs are driving the biggest enterprise hardware refresh cycle since the laptop, and these machines require an NPU (neural processing unit) that most of your current fleet simply doesn't have. That means IT teams are being forced into something they rarely have to do at the same time: a full OS upgrade AND a hardware refresh, simultaneously, across the enterprise. The organizations getting ahead of it are treating this as a Modern Workplace strategy moment rather than just a procurement exercise. What devices do we actually need? What workflows are we designing for? How does AI factor into how our people work day to day? If this is on your radar for the second half of 2026, getting specific now is worth it. Now part of Sikich, Burwood Group's Modern Workplace practice helps organizations navigate exactly this kind of transition.

Predictable, certified meeting experiences matter — especially for hybrid teams. ClickShare Hub Bundles are certified for Microsoft Teams, so connections work as intended from the first click. That predictability reduces setup delays and keeps meetings on schedule. Burwood Group can help you validate and deploy meeting room solutions so teams get consistent, reliable collaboration.

Human error—not a breach—can expose sensitive data in an instant. A misplaced attachment, an auto-complete mistake, a recipient outside your organization: small oversights with big impact. Prevention can’t depend on perfect user attention. Check Point Harmony Email Security adds built-in data loss prevention to identify sensitive content and stop it from leaving your environment before it becomes a problem. Smart systems protect real people doing real work. Learn how to add confidence to everyday communication: https://lnkd.in/gi5x_mRA #DataProtection #Compliance #BurwoodGroup

Your AI pilot has been almost ready for production for 18 months. You're not alone. 67% of organizations are using Microsoft Copilot. According to our research, scalable value is still low across most of them. That's not a technology problem. It's an implementation problem. The organizations actually moving AI from pilot to production aren't the ones with the most tools. They're the ones that stopped collecting tools and started building workflow intelligence. Clear use cases. Real change management. Governance that gets used. The gap worth paying attention to: 77% of organizations are running generative AI, but only 37% have a formal policy in place. Shadow AI is already in your environment. The question is whether you know about it. The CIOs winning with AI right now treat it like infrastructure. Governed, monitored, integrated. Not just deployed and announced at an all-hands. Where's the biggest AI implementation gap in your organization?

Happy Mother's Day to all the women on our team who show up every day and make this work better. Burwood Women in Tech has been one of the most genuine things we've built as a team — a real community, not a checkbox. The women in this group bring technical depth, leadership, and a lot of patience for the IT industry's ongoing nonsense. Proud to work alongside every one of them. As we move into this next chapter as part of Sikich, they're coming with us — and that's the best part.

Remote access is often the hidden cause when employees report slow performance. Cloud apps weren’t designed to be routed through legacy VPN backhauls. Zero Trust access changes the rules and removes that bottleneck. With Harmony SASE, users connect directly and securely to the apps they need — no backhauling, no compromise on protection. Security should enable productivity, not limit it. Explore how Burwood Group can upgrade your access approach: https://lnkd.in/gVMxiupf #SASE #CloudSecurity #ZeroTrust #BurwoodGroup #CheckPoint

Happy World Password Day to everyone who changed theirs to Spring2026! Here's the thing though: passwords are almost beside the point now. Non-human identities (service accounts, API keys, automated processes) outnumber human users 100 to 1. That is the attack surface growing fastest, and it is one most organizations can barely see, let alone manage. 73% of security professionals say AI-powered threats are already hitting their organizations. 85% of security teams say they would rather work with a managed SOC than build one in-house. Passwords matter. But if that is all you are thinking about today, you are solving for last year's problem. Now part of Sikich, Burwood Group helps organizations close the security gaps that actually keep IT leaders up at night.
