Today, we’re proud to launch Revelio Public Labor Statistics (RPLS). RPLS is a new monthly release designed to complement BLS reporting with more timely and granular insights into the U.S. labor market. Our debut release shows that the economy added 50,000 jobs in August, which is well below expectations. We also see salaries from new job postings up +0.6% MoM, active postings down –0.3%, hiring –0.2%, and attrition –0.3%. We built RPLS to provide a transparent, public resource for policymakers, businesses, and the public. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to share this new initiative for Revelio Labs.

One of the biggest reasons companies hesitate to modernize legacy applications? Downtime. Not the kind you read about in theory— But the kind that halts revenue, frustrates users, and sets off fire drills across every department. And that fear is real. When your legacy systems are deeply embedded powering billing, inventory, or critical customer experiences, even a few hours of disruption can have ripple effects. But here’s what I often tell clients: 🛠️ Modernization doesn’t have to be a “big bang.” Done right, it can be strategic, staged, and non-disruptive. So, what holds companies back?  • Fear of the unknown: What if something breaks? What if the new doesn’t work?  • Perceived risk: Business continuity feels too fragile to touch.  • Time and cost concerns: “We can’t afford the effort."  • Lack of a skilled team or the right partner: Talent gaps slow everything down.  • No clear execution plan: Everyone agrees why, but no one knows how.  • And worst of all? Paralysis by analysis, so much thinking, zero action. But here's what has worked for companies that chose to move forward: ✅ Strangle the monolith – Isolate and rebuild one function at a time as a microservice, only when it adds value. (Yes, microservices are great but they’re not always cheap or necessary.) ✅ Shadow deployments – Run modern systems alongside legacy apps to validate behavior in real-time. ✅ Canary rollouts – Start small. Roll out to 5% of users. Observe. Adjust. Then scale. ✅ Robust rollback plans – Have a Plan B that’s as solid as your Plan A. Confidence comes from preparation. ⚡ The risk of downtime is real. But the bigger risk is standing still while your competitors modernize, innovate, and move ahead. If you’re planning modernization in 2025, make sure your strategy is built around resilience, not just release dates. Because the right time to start… is before it’s too late.

At Entelligence, we see two powerful forces converging: > The rise of fractional talent—experts who bring specialized skills precisely when and where they’re needed. > The untapped potential of underserved labor markets—incredible professionals who often get overlooked because of geography, networks, or opportunity gaps. By building a marketplace that connects fractional talent with enterprise demand, we’re not just solving workforce shortages - we’re unlocking new opportunities for both businesses and people. This model gives companies flexibility and speed while opening doors for talent in places that traditional recruiting rarely reaches. It’s about scaling skills, not just headcount. At Entelligence, our opportunity is clear: deploy the right expertise, at the right time, from anywhere. And in doing so, we’re creating access, equity, and impact at global scale. The world doesn’t just need more talent - it needs smarter, fairer ways of engaging it. #TheFutureOfWork.

I shared a panel recently with Michael Contento, CEPA on exit planning & valuations... ...at the ChannelNext Events MSP conference hosted by Julian Lee. Here's the top quotes we shared on the panel: - "Exit planning is business planning." - "An exit strategy should be, by far, your foundation of a growth strategy." - "We talk about revenue, we talk about profit, we talk about productivity. Why aren't we talking about valuation?" - "Understanding your current valuation, getting a proper evaluation done, comparing it to your profit gap and value gap." - "The mindset is you're going to sell your company. It doesn't mean you have to sell your company." - "If your company is sellable by tomorrow, that means you are running an incredibly profitable company that anyone will buy." - "A business who's too dependent on the business owner is not very marketable, unfortunately." - "It's not about what the number is on the last page, it's the 20 pages before that, that tell you what's wrong with your business (valuation report)." - "When that (offer) number came, it didn't include all the blood, sweat, tears, crying, bounced checks." --- For more info on how to navigate a scale-up or exit plan, see the below video & DM for a complementary 30-min strategy call: #CEO #BusinessOwners #Founder #SMBstrategy #ExitPlanning #ScalingBusiness #Entrepreneurship #MergersandAcquisitions #PrivateEquity #BusinessGrowth #Transition

According to SBA data, over $65 billion in contracts flow through the 8(a) program every single year. Yet most certified businesses never see a fraction of it. Why? Because they treat the 8(a) like a badge, not a growth strategy. The top 1% know better. They use it to build leverage, credibility, and access long before the proposal hits SAM.gov. The 8(a) isn’t paperwork. It’s a power-up, if you know how to use it. Here is a quick cheat sheet to help you turn that certification into real contracts 👇 Ready to learn how to scale with your certifications, not just list them? Join the 6-Week Bootcamp: Scale with Certifications, starting November 7, 2025. Learn how to: ✅ Convert your 8(a) status into sole-source wins ✅ Build agency relationships that compound over time ✅ Use your certifications to unlock long-term revenue 🔗 Register now → https://lnkd.in/e3srnZEj

How can you get a CTO — but not the long-term commitment? Most companies don’t need (or can’t afford) a full-time CTO, CIO, or Chief Digital Officer—but they do need proven leadership to scale. That’s where fractional executives come in. ✅ Senior-level expertise ✅ Connection to the right industry expert who brings proven expertise ✅ Hands-on execution to drive real results Let’s set your sails in the right direction.

A warning to anyone attempting to sell enterprise software to Dave & Buster’s (and really, who amongst us isn’t): Beware of the ampersand. On PJ Vogt’s Search Engine podcast, he launched a full-blown investigative report into why voice memos mentioning “Dave & Buster’s” wouldn’t send between iPhones. No error. No warning. The voice notes just vanished into the digital void. Turns out the official company name for D&B’s uses an ampersand (not “and”). The ampersand was being transcribed correctly but then blocked by an obscure Apple security filter, not because of a long-running feud Tim Cook has over a mistaken skee-ball score. My mind wandered. Where have I seen the ampersand wreak havoc before? …Salesforce. ☁️ If you’ve ever done a bulk data load in Salesforce, you may have seen an ampersand morph into “&” without warning. So that “Dave & Buster’s” in your email template? It now reads as “Dave & Buster’s.” Not exactly the best start to your sales pitch. Here’s your PSA: Run a quick search for “&” across your Salesforce org. It could save you from a costly email mishap. Thanks to PJ, Dave, & Buster for the unintentional CRM case study.
