Social IT Purchasing:
How to reach IT buyers while they work
THE BIG
IDEAS

Big Idea
Focus on what’s
Relevant

Do you really want to
waste this guy’s time?
Give him relevant content to
engage with and tools that’ll
help him reach his goals!
I want pricing and
all the facts upfront!
Websites are just
“marketing fluff”

Big Idea
All networks are
NOTcreated equal.

Here’s what a real IT pro says about his
various social networks…
I have a Facebook account. Anything on there has probably
something to do with my kids’ sports activities. As far as a site like
LinkedIn goes, I basically keep an online resume there. I’m not
looking for a job so its probably out of date.
But, I’m in Spiceworks all day, every day. I couldn’t do my job
without it. “
Philip Moya
TX SpiceHead
(this isn’t him – this is a
weeble)

Big Idea
Social sharing aﬀects
ALL STAGES
of the buying process!

This follower agrees! J
Sharing can take the form of things like:
•  Product ratings & reviews
•  Tech talk among peers
•  Expert content from specialists and vendors

What’s techy, spicy, bacon-lovin’ and orange all over? Why, the Spiceworks Community, of course! Not only are there over 4M IT pros using the Community to do their jobs, research products, and talk shop with vendors, they’re also having some jolly good fun! Hear from one of Spiceworks’ very own IT pros as he highlights Spiceworks humour, shows how you can take the Community goodness offline, and shows you how easy it is to spread the spice to other IT pros and tech vendors near and far.

Check out these slides from a SpiceWorld London SpiceHead on how he goes about his purchasing strategy, including: - Budget planning; how to use an IT Strategy; using 1, 2 & 5 year plans to manage the finances. - How to persuade the bean counters to open their wallets by showing them that you can be trusted to manage your own finances. - Business case justification; you know it makes sense, but they don’t talk tech, so you still have to show them why in terms of pounds and pence. - Applying for grants; treating other people’s money like your own. - The art of negotiation; when and why to say no; and how to politely say, “that’s not what I can afford to pay.”

I'm excited to share my latest predictions on how AI, robotics, and other technological advancements will reshape industries in the coming years. The slides explore the exponential growth of computational power, the future of AI and robotics, and their profound impact on various sectors. Why this matters: The success of new products and investments hinges on precise timing and foresight into emerging categories. This deck equips founders, VCs, and industry leaders with insights to align future products with upcoming tech developments. These insights enhance the ability to forecast industry trends, improve market timing, and predict competitor actions. Highlights: ▪ Exponential Growth in Compute: How $1000 will soon buy the computational power of a human brain ▪ Scaling of AI Models: The journey towards beyond human-scale models and intelligent edge computing ▪ Transformative Technologies: From advanced robotics and brain interfaces to automated healthcare and beyond ▪ Future of Work: How automation will redefine jobs and economic structures by 2040 With so many predictions presented here, some will inevitably be wrong or mistimed, especially with potential external disruptions. For instance, a conflict in Taiwan could severely impact global semiconductor production, affecting compute costs and related advancements. Nonetheless, these slides are intended to guide intuition on future technological trends.

The standard Salesforce Approval process can be limiting in many ways, especially in complex scenarios. What if there was a way to implement very flexible approvals where one can use Apex code to make data updates in unrelated records, dynamically generate next steps details, and compute assignees on the fly? And still use UI-based configurations to implement concrete approval processes. In this session, we will share ideas behind such a solution and show a few lines of code to get you started.
