We live in an era where digital employee experience (DEX) has become one of the most important strategic pillars for IT within organizations. IT asset inventory and system metrics are no longer enough. Today, successful companies understand that, in order to achieve efficiency, innovation, and productivity, they must truly grasp how employees feel when interacting with technology.

Microsoft has officially announced the end of support for Windows 10, effective October 14, 2025. This marks a significant transition point for enterprises and managed service providers (MSPs) as they must migrate users to Windows 11 to maintain security compliance and ongoing support. However, the shift to Windows 11 is not simply a version change - it introduces new system requirements, updated security features, and performance expectations. For many organisations, the upgrade demands detailed asset analysis, hardware compatibility assessments, and proactive management of employee experience to avoid business disruption.

On the morning of Thursday, June 12, the São Paulo office of L.O. Baptista Advogados hosted a high-level event titled "Innovation and AI: The Digital Future of Business." The gathering brought together a diverse and engaged audience of legal and tech professionals to discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping strategic decisions and transforming modern enterprises. Among the featured speakers was Leandro Silva, CEO of Almaden Inc., who joined a dynamic and interactive panel exploring the opportunities and challenges of using AI responsibly in corporate environments.

Almaden proudly introduces AlmaKnowledge, a powerful new feature of the Collective IQ Business Edition platform. Unlike implementations of generative AI that rely only on trained models, AlmaKnowledge is purpose-built to embody and present enterprise-specific information. It works seamlessly with the AlmaAI capabilities in Collective IQ to enhance IT decision-making by leveraging enterprise information alongside industry data used by trained generic AI models such as ChatGPT. This provides deeper, faster, and more accurate insights for IT professionals and other departments which rely on IT's insights and recommendations.

In IT environments, user-reported tickets are the Tip of the Iceberg representing only a fraction of the actual issues affecting digital experiences. The majority of IT performance problems, such as slow applications, network latency, device failures, or security vulnerabilities go unnoticed until they cause significant disruptions. If we follow our iceberg analogy the Tip of the Iceberg is only 10% of the overall problem. This is where Digital Experience Management (DEX) plays a crucial role, helping you uncover the 90% of unreported issues.

When you're running a business, you have a bunch of different tools and processes that you need to manage in order to keep everything running smoothly. It's kind of like having a bunch of different puzzle pieces that you need to fit together just right in order to create a complete picture. Now, let's say you want to take your business to the next level - maybe you want to expand your customer base, improve your productivity, or streamline your operations.

Let's imagine any given company as a restaurant, with employees as the chefs who prepare and serve the meals. Now, consider how frustrating it would be for those chefs if the kitchen was poorly organized, with old and malfunctioning equipment, and ingredients scattered all over the place. It would make their jobs much more difficult and less enjoyable, leading to mistakes, slower service, and perhaps even employee turnover.
