Brent Portera is proud to say that he had a front-row seat for the evolution of Copier Headquarters to GoodSuite. Little did he know at the time that more change was in the air.

It was the final day of 2019, and the newly-christened GoodSuite was holding a technology show at its office for customers and prospects to draw attention to its young but developing managed network services offering. Portera had been on board with the company for roughly a year, so when that party saw GoodSuite ink its largest-ever agreement with one of the guest attendees, he knew there was something special about this dealership.

We’re not even halfway through calendar 2024, yet the year is already revealing as much about the future of the industry as it is the present. As a business owner, you should be fully attuned to what it is saying.

You can drop the word “new” from the term “new normal.” What you see is what you’re going to get for the foreseeable future. We abide by the saying “A rising tide will life all boats,” but regardless of your aphorism of choice, the fact of the matter is the tide is quite high. If your dingy is plodding through mud, so to speak, it could be an indication that your business is missing out on the best of times.
