In this customer story from Censis Technologies, Angela Sullivan, the Interim SPD Manager at St. Michael Medical Center in Silverdale, Washington, shares her experience with CensiTrac, Censis’ tracking system. St. Michael Medical Center is a sizable hospital with multiple departments, including orthopedics and the main operating room, each with a unique set of instruments.

Angela emphasizes the crucial need for instrument tracking, particularly during surgeries, where it’s vital to quickly locate sets or identify if a set has been contaminated or is missing components. CensiTrac provides a solution to this challenge. With CensiTrac, staff can effortlessly access count sheets, whether they are in the assembly area, the operating room, or when assembling case carts. This streamlines the process, eliminating the need for phone calls or manual searches.

She highlights that once you experience the convenience of a system like CensiTrac, reverting to handwritten paper records becomes undesirable. The ease of accessing the system through a computer, logging in, and instantly finding the required information is a game-changer. CensiTrac puts all the necessary information at your fingertips, eliminating the time-consuming task of searching for different items and enhancing the overall efficiency of instrument management in a healthcare facility.

Meta's enterprise AI pitch is strongest inside WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger

Meta's enterprise AI pitch is strongest inside WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger

The Meta Enterprise Platform is a new Meta product line and business unit that started with four products: Muse, Meta Business Agent, Muse API and Muse Code. Analysts told TechTarget that its clearest edge is customer messaging: Meta owns WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, channels that Microsoft, Salesforce and Google don't. Business Agent is the logical first pilot, judged on cost per completed task.

  • 01Meta's strongest enterprise case is narrow: whether it should run the agent that talks to customers on its own apps, rather than whether it replaces Copilot or Agentforce.
  • 02The channel advantage scales with one number a CIO can pull today: the share of customer contacts that already arrive through WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger.
  • 03Comparing AI platforms on cost per successfully completed business task, run on the same workflow and data, puts a new entrant like Meta on the same footing as incumbent vendors.

Gartner: only 40% of CIOs guard against AI dulling staff judgment

Gartner projects 30% of organizations will find AI has weakened independent judgment in at least one core role by 2030. In a Gartner survey, 40% of senior IT leaders reported having a strategy to stop AI use from wearing down employee capability. Gartner recommends useful friction—verification steps and assistants that question premises—shifting how managers measure work and how IT teams evaluate AI tools.

Intune's Windows 11 26H2 security baseline won't update existing profiles on its own

Intune's Windows 11 26H2 security baseline won't update existing profiles on its own

Microsoft's Windows 11, version 26H2 security baseline is now available in Intune. Existing baseline profiles don't move to it automatically. Admins have to create a new profile or update an old one, so how fast the new defaults reach devices depends on each organization's review of customized settings.

  • 01The Windows 11 26H2 security baseline reaches a managed fleet only when an admin creates a new profile or moves an existing one onto it, so each organization's change process sets how fast it's adopted.
  • 02Tenants with heavily customized baseline profiles carry most of the work: new defaults and revised guidance have to be checked against settings someone changed on purpose.
  • 03The NetBIOS setting will show up in a later baseline update once it's supported on in-market Windows and in the Settings Catalog. Plan on more than one baseline review this cycle.
