🚨 Why I’m moving away from recommending HP Inc (and what’s changing at Bridge IT) 🚨

I’ve just completed a range of Lenovo Partner certifications, including:

✔ Infrastructure Solutions
✔ HPC (High Performance Computing)
✔ Data & Analytics
✔ AI Workstations & Sales
✔ Infrastructure Implementation & Configuration

This is all part of making sure I’m delivering the best possible outcomes for my clients.

👉 But this also comes after a decision I’ve been sitting on for a while…

I can no longer confidently recommend HP.

💬 Here’s why (real-world experience):

HP’s “Next Business Day Onsite Support” sounds great on paper…

But in reality:

❌ You’re required to spend hours troubleshooting before anything happens
❌ Jobs get delayed through approval processes
❌ “Next Business Day” often becomes multiple days — sometimes 10+ business days
❌ Clients are left waiting while critical systems are down

That’s simply not acceptable in a business environment.

🔧 What this means for my clients

Nothing changes if you already have HP — I’ll continue to support what’s in place.

But when it comes to new hardware and infrastructure, I need to recommend solutions I can stand behind:

✔ Reliable support
✔ Fast response times
✔ Vendors that actually deliver on their promises

💡 My responsibility

This isn’t about brands — it’s about risk.

If a vendor’s support model introduces delays and downtime, that becomes a real business risk.

And that’s something I won’t compromise on.

If you’re planning upgrades this year (servers, workstations, or full environments), happy to have a chat 👍

Note: HPE Enterprise are still awesome and run as a separate entity!

Feeling frustrated today after dealing with a situation that’s unfortunately all too common in the web design world. It’s great when a website looks amazing, but what’s the point if it’s not secure or functional in the long run? 🤷‍♂️

Many designers do a fantastic job making sites visually appealing, but they sometimes overlook the importance of ongoing security and functionality. A beautiful site that isn’t kept up-to-date or properly licensed can quickly become a security risk.

If you’re investing in a website, make sure you’re not just getting a great design for today, but also the licences and updates needed for tomorrow. It’s not about “scaremongering” or “upselling”—it’s about protecting your digital assets and ensuring your site stays safe and compatible as time goes on.

End of rant. Just something to keep in mind if you’re in the process of getting a website built. Stay safe online, everyone! 💻🔒

In today’s digital world, a visually stunning website is often seen as the holy grail of online presence. But before you sign that contract with your web

FYI. Microsoft Outage Official Cause 19th July 2024:

Preliminary root cause: A configuration change in a
portion of our Azure backend workloads, caused interruption between storage and compute resources which resulted in connectivity failures that affected downstream Microsoft 365 services dependent on these connections.

Should be resolved within 24 hours.

PSA: There is currently an issue with Microsoft accounts sending emails to Bigpond accounts. 3 days now. I've been in contact with Telstra about this. I've also got an active ticket that has been to Microsoft Technical Support, through to the Escalations Team & is now currently with an engineer in the Security & Compliance Team. Seems as though Telstra use https://senderscore.org/ as a reputation monitoring system. An IP/s of an Australian microsoft server was given a score of 0/100 which then effectively blocks any email sent from a Microsoft account to a Bigpond email. Being the end of the financial year, my clients are trying to send reports to their clients and it's absolute chaos. It's being looked at though.

I have some exciting news to share with you regarding the future of my business operations which will help simplify & streamline operations.

I’ve been working tirelessly over the past month to merge my 4 companies into 1 unified brand... Bridge IT

All websites, data, accounting & support systems have now been merged and the launch is now complete!

For any customers that haven't received my email, there are all new bank accounts as well as contact details. More info to come!

Change can be challenging, but I’m confident that this merger will ultimately lead to an improved experience for us all.

If you have any questions or concerns about this merger, please do not hesitate to reach out!

:) Will.

Had a great afternoon adding in some advertising TVs and whipping up a little graphic design work for the Maroondoo Football Club. All images and videos can be controlled from the back end of their own website and it can also accommodate multiple locations. Quick, cheap and easy solution for what would normally be an expensive setup.
