SUMMARY:Chew the Fat With Us: Demystifying Tech Vendor Speak
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nLet’s face it – tech vendors love their buzzwords. From “synergy” to “next-gen\,” it can feel like they’re speaking a whole new language. But don’t worry – we’ve got your back! In this fun and interactive session\, we’ll tackle 7 tech phrases that vendors throw around\, and break them down in a way that makes sense for you. Kenjie Davis from The AMS Guy and Olivia Wilkins from PerByte will help you decode these buzzwords\, explaining what they really mean\, how they affect your business\, and\, most importantly what you should do when you hear them. Think of this as your “vendor-speak” cheat sheet – so you’ll never be caught off-guard again! Get ready for an engaging experience where you’ll have a chance to ask questions\, share your own experiences\, and leave feeling like a tech jargon pro. Let’s demystify the confusing world of vendor-speak together! \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nUnderstand commonly used phrases and terminology when engaging with technology vendors \nAnalyze the impact technology jargon can have on project planning and organization goals \nPrepare for vendor conversations by asking the right follow-up questions and challenge vague or unclear vendor language \nEmpower decision-makers with actionable insights on what to do when encountering the common phrases/terms \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n
