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...

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...

Cutting Edge Mercedes Dealer in Gilbert, AZ embraces cloud

www.mbgilbert.com facility photo This past month has been exciting for the community in Gilbert, AZ after the long awaited opening of Mercedes Benz of Gilbert when they unveiled their amazing facility. Throughout the period of time that the dealership has been constructed we have been visiting, involved and overjoyed by what the owners Charlie and Audrey Alfano have accomplished. To our delight we have been witness on their use of Cloud Technology like Office365.   When you arrive at the dealership you'll be greeted by an amazing reception, branded water bottles and Free WiFi.  Their sales professionals have an open demeanor and are listeners unlike some of the experiences we've had in visiting similar facilities in the area. The lot is FULL of pre-owned cars and the NEW cars they have on display include AMG super-cars as well as an experience center that reminds me of the XBox displays at Microsoft Stores.  With this experience center you can listen to ...
