Welcome, welcome back, everybody, to ITW 2023. We are on this fantastic expo floor, and this place is humming. We have so much business going on, so many deals, so many great conversations. And guys, this is ITW Extra, powered by JSA, the official broadcast of ITW 2023. We're excited to come to you live, streaming across multiple platforms, right here from the National Harbor, just a stone's throw away from DC. Joining me here today on this expo floor is Ms. Michelle Moran. She's the Senior Vice President of Sales, Product, and Marketing of Involta. Michelle, welcome, welcome to JSA TV. Thank you so much. It's great to be here. We are so excited to have you, and it's such a big day. We have so much to talk about. We do. First of all, congratulations is in order. Ms. Michelle has been named Top 25 Women in Technology for 2023 by Mission Critical Magazine, which is huge. I mean, there's a lot of women, more women than ever, thankfully. And Top 25 is a huge accomplishment and so well earned. Can you share a little bit about what this incredible recognition has really meant to you and how it plays a role in Involta? Absolutely. So Top 25 Women, I never imagined that I would be named on a list like this. However, I started over 30 years ago in this industry and so many times I've been the only female at the table. And when I'm asked why did you stick with it, it's because I know we make a difference. We bring a different perspective to the table all day, every day. And I wanted to forge ahead and make sure that we were providing the best for our clients and the best for our employees along the way because as a leader in the industry and in my own company now with Involta, I feel like we need to provide for our employees. We need to provide for our clients and women matter. We look at it a little bit different from a creative perspective and making that impact. So I love to see more women involved in technology. And we do as well. And you are such a role model. So thank you, keep on, keep it on because we are so excited watching you as you continue to take over. We know you also serve at Involta a wide variety of industries across several markets throughout the country. So Involta guys, if you don't know yet, you definitely need to check out Involta. What are some of the trends that you're seeing related to the needs of enterprise and their hybrid IT and cloud strategies? Really good questions. So out there, there are a lot of choices and what we focus on are three verticals, healthcare, manufacturing and finance. And we're providing infrastructure for these clients. From a trend perspective, we're seeing that clients need more help, figuring out what to do, figuring out where their workloads should sit based on where they are today, but also positioning to take advantage of new technologies emerging over the course of time as long as their business is ready and they can actually deliver the appropriate outcome fiscally responsible and at the same time, strategically delivering to their business. So it's a lot of fun to be able to provide services that make a doctor's life easier so they can serve the patient and give them a better experience as an example or a manufacturer set it up so that they can scale using collocation or a combination of collocation and cloud or multi-cloud so that they can produce faster and deliver throughout the entire world. Those are just two examples. At the same time, keeping them safe and also balancing what's happening with their staff. So skill sets in the staff area have been a challenge because it's moving very quickly and so those mid-size accounts need help and we're here to help them. Well, helping them is sort of what you're known for at Involta, not just in those three critical verticals that you guys address, but also at home, if you will. Beyond all the innovation Involta does to provide customers best in class technology and data center infrastructure solutions, I hear Involta is doing a lot to give back to the communities you serve so tell us a little bit more about that. We do. We take a lot of pride in doing a lot of volunteer work. In fact, it's part of what I would call our core values with our employees. You know, the cities we sit in, we serve those regions. So volunteering, whether it be at the Ronald McDonald House or serving the Girl Scouts or raising money for a good cause, we like to give back to what is meaningful to both our employees and to the regions that we serve. I actually love your social and seeing all those great photos of your team, literally getting their hands dirty, planting trees, for example, just really truly committed to the community, something that hopefully inspires even more companies to do. Now, you'll also, we can't forget to mention that you will be joining us this afternoon on our panel for greener data. Of course, Involta, one of the returning authors for greener data volume two, we're excited to have you guys back. So much talk about sustainability, but you guys have some great initiatives that really differentiate you. Could you tell us a little bit more? I sure can. So, you know, one of the things that we do is we use the ambient air when we can across the country. We have 12 data centers across the country. So, you know, if you think about the outside temperature, it's a different in the different regions of the United States. So you have to take that into consideration. So we've been working on using ambient air for many, many years. And we've put metrics in place to make sure that we're always improving. And that's just one of many things. There's a second area, though, that I would talk about. And that is choosing your partners wisely. So we have chosen partners very specifically who are focused on greener data and fit right into our initiatives as it relates to being more responsible. Yeah, and being more responsible guys is measurements not just in scope one, two, but also scope three. So that's where that key partnerships really do come into play. That's right. So incredible words of advice there. So what else can we expect from Involte in the second half of 2023? So we're launching some really cool things across the board, listening to our clients along the way, making it easier for them to consume products and services from us. So you'll see a lot of next generation type products and services come out the door so that it's easier to interface along the way. So I'm excited to see those launches hit the market. Some interesting words. We will be absolutely playing close attention to Involte and its emerging news. Where can our viewers go to learn more until then? Involte.com. Involte.com, guys.
