A catalog is a collection or record of items that is organized systematically, normally in a certain order, and usually includes information about each item. It is common practice to arrange and show information in catalogs, which can be either physical or digital. Some common types of catalogs include: Product Catalogs, Library Catalogs, Online Catalogs and Art Catalogs.

Catalogs are useful because they help people find information quickly and efficiently. By organizing information in a structured way, catalogs make it easy for people to browse and locate the items they are interested in.

The Director of Catalog Management at EquipWare, Randall Bates, was the guest on this interesting edition of “Geared For Planning,” podcast which was hosted by Michelle Dawn Mooney. They discussed The Catalog by EquipWare and what it is all about.

They had a conversation on:

  1. The basics of catalogs and what it means.
  2. How usable and accessible EquipWare’s Catalogs are
  3. The group of people who these Catalogs are intended for and the solutions that they offer.
  4. What sets EquipWare apart from other catalog companies.

According to Bates, our target market is our clients who are doing equipment planning. Catalogs make it easier because you can set up different variations, spaces, designs, and current information of various items and this makes it very accessible, instead of the planners writing equipment information on a spreadsheet that provides different lists and rows of information.

  • “Our Catalogs are user friendly, accessible and very easy to use with less clicks”.

Director, Catalog Management at EquipWare, LLC Randall Bates serves as the manager of the SaaS Catalog which supports the company’s software business unit(s), and is in charge of overseeing all operational tasks, including staff engaged in Catalog management activities. He oversees efforts to ensure that opportunities for staff development and progress are clearly outlined, and regularly gives feedback on staff performance. He also observes how others are carrying out their tasks and projects.

Stop scaring prospects who already agree on cybersecurity

Stop scaring prospects who already agree on cybersecurity

N-able's Stefanie Hammond applies The JOLT Effect by Matthew Dixon and Ted McKenna to MSP cybersecurity sales. Challenger Inc. summarizes research putting 40% to 60% of lost deals in no decision, and Dixon and McKenna report most no-decision losses stem from fear of failure. Hammond argues MSPs should recommend one program, stop piling on urgency, and phase implementation instead of shrinking protection.

  • 01Dixon and McKenna's research analyzed 2.5 million recorded sales conversations and found 40% to 60% of lost deals end in no decision; in an October 2024 post, they wrote that 56% of no-decision losses stem from fear of failure.
  • 02Hammond's rule for MSPs: once a prospect agrees the security gap is real, stop adding fear and breach statistics and start recommending a single program with the reasons behind it.
  • 03Her version of sell less to sell more keeps the full program and splits deployment into monthly phases, identity and MFA first, then endpoint protection and MDR, then backup and recovery testing.

Longer term, Terafab has told equipment makers it intends to reach 1 million wafers per month after 2032, about 700,000 of them for memory.

  • 01Terafab officials visited Japan earlier this month and met suppliers as Terafab began placing orders with equipment makers, some due within months, Nikkei reports.
  • 02Musk is targeting a first test chip in Austin in May or June next year and mass production in the second half of 2028.
  • 03Terafab's long-term goal is 1 million wafers per month after 2032, with about 700,000 for memory and at least 300,000 for logic.
