Google falls short; Microsoft, Facebook and Apple do well

Google has become the pessimist stock on the market and for good reason.  As this stock comparison shows, courtesy of www.scottrade.com, There is a general trend that Microsoft, Facebook and Apple are increasing in value and Google is declining.  One might ask why?  See my blog post below the graphic for our opinion.


Innovation:
     As Microsoft takes on innovation with #Office365 and #Azure as well as other cloud computing leadership thoughts, Google continues to provide second-rate products that are "easy" to onboard and navigate.  While Apple has continued to provide its followers with devices that are "beautiful" and "lovely to hold" in the user's hands, Facebook has taken search head on with integrated search and display advertising at a new level.

Pricing:
     While Microsoft has been driving down prices for innovative equipment like the Windows Phone, Surface Pro 3 and partner devices like the Lenovo Yoga and other manufacturer devices, the average price for a PC has dropped significantly while the pressure is on to provide the consumer and professionals with "lovely to hold" devices.  Facebook has continued to be free but the cost of doing business on facebook has risen and for good reason, the advertising model on Facebook is working.  Google's "Free" model has changed as well and now that the company is charging for business services they are having a tough time justifying their product in comparison to the Microsoft offering.

Privacy and Security:
     Google continues to be known as the "evil" player in the field and as we've seen Home Depot, Target, Sony and Uber all get hacked we have to wonder "When will the rest of the market figure it out?".  Microsoft moves forward with PCIC, GLC, FISMA and Government certifications while Apple continues to protect its users with Apple Pay and other security models that are leading the market.  Facebook on the other hand has become more and more transparent on the use of the data that they so easily have collected.

Summary:
     The trend in the stock market and the conversations all over the world show that Google is losing the battle and Microsoft is winning.  Apple will continue to provide "wonderful" devices and services for the consumer and people will take their "lovely" devices into work.  Microsoft is bridging the gap that it was in for so many years with respect to devices, viruses and privacy while Facebook doesn't care what device you use, just download messenger for better experiences... and more data.

WIT - What you may not know about this phrase...

Wit is defined as a form of intelligent humor of course, however, the WIT I'm referring to is not that simple.  It's an acronym that our partner Microsoft uses alongside many other other organizations and partners throughout the industry.  This blog is all about how these "WIT" people have enabled RyanTech. W OMEN I N T ECHNOLOGY At RyanTech we've worked very hard to create an image of credibility, investment and second to none support for our customers.  Over the years we've invested time in organizations such as EO ( The Entrepreneur's Organization ), IAMCP ( The International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners ) as well as the MCC ( Microsoft Community Connections ) and participated in the Partner Engagement Board for Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference.  All of these engagements have brought value to Me as the CEO and the company as a whole however what's most important about these engagements is that it's taught me to h...

Net Worth - the two words

One of the most popular combinations of words used by an Entrepreneur are "Net Worth" and it's become my life goal to PERFECT the combination of these two powerful words.  This is NOT about money but about NET WORTH!  My thoughts... BUSINESS: In Business, your net worth is all about the dollar amount you have in disposable income after all things are said and done.  It's about the footprint you leave on everybody else as you climb to the American Dream of working bell to bell and counting your successes and failures in the experience called a career which in turn becomes a number. When you arrive at your first, second or final goal do you look back and decide for yourself what the Net Worth of all things done has cost you and everyone you touched? FAMILY: In Family, your net worth can be so many different things.  Your relationship with your mate or your calculation of how well you DIDN'T mess up your kids and could also be measured by the amount of "co...

If you had an opportunity to give a room of graduates advice, what would you say?

This would be the most touching opportunity I could ever embrace.  I did not graduate college. I did NOT succeed or did I?  I did WIN and I did NOT WIN. How does one contradict ones self?  Simply through drive and love. Where do you think the name RyanTech came from? Me? Nope!  Although if I had a dollar for every time I was called Ryan I'd be filthy rich. This young man named Ryan is my son and he's done an amazing job with life.  Working summers, winters and after school time in college at George Fox University where he recently graduated with his BA and prior to that being educated at Modesto Christian School since Kindergarten. He's the best McMillen to have ever been gifted life.  He's married to an amazing woman, Cortney, who graduated from Corbin University in only three years and invested time at Oxford.  What a resume! From the day he was born I told him "You're going to college no matter what it takes" and he lived the dream of gettin...
