**JANUARY=C2=A0 2026**

**James Sorrenti**

Editor

Will ya look at that. It's Tuesday yet again. Hope you all enjoyed the long=
 weekend. Shall we?=C2=A0


=F0=9F=A4=9D =C2=A0First, very glad to share an announcement this week from=
 Rippling IT. We're an Apple Business Partner, and we have a bunch of new d=
evices coming to the freshly redesigned Device Store.


=F0=9F=99=85 =C2=A0Next up, we'll share some insights from Paul Strauss, th=
e CIO of Carallel, on the early IT mistakes that can become real problems a=
s you scale. (And, as a bonus, how Rippling IT can help solve those problem=
s.)=C2=A0


=F0=9F=8E=89 =C2=A0Great to see everyone in Philadelphia last week at our M=
ac Admins meetup. Read on for more invites to more cool stuff we're up to.


Away we go!

As both a lifelong Apple devotee and a very new team member at Rippling IT,=
 super excited for this week's announcement, which you can read more about =
[**here**](https://www.rippling.com/blog/rippling-it-apple-partnership?rtli=
d=3D00QUd00000QcSfRMAV)**.**=C2=A0


There's a lot to go over, but one of the most exciting aspects is the newly=
 relaunched Device Store, now including a host of Apple products that are n=
ewly purchasable through the platform:


- **iPhone=C2=A0**(heard of it?)=20
- **MacBook Pro with M5**=20
- **MacBook Air with M4**=20

You can also come and join us next week for a live webinar on all this. Mys=
elf and our MDM product lead Zaafir will be in conversation with Christos D=
rosos, Principal Consulting Engineer at Apple.


We'll be talking about all things device lifecycle management, as well as h=
ow Rippling works with Apple Business Manager, Automated Device Enrollment,=
 and Declarative Device Management in helping orgs manage their Apple devic=
es.=C2=A0

So if you're curious to learn more about those integrations and beyond, ple=
ase, come on down.=C2=A0


That'll be on Wednesday, Jan. 28, and you can [**register here**](https://r=
ippling.registration.goldcast.io/webinar/134b318c-1bef-467b-9935-22b6a79798=
6c?rtlid=3D00QUd00000QcSfRMAV). =C2=A0

=F0=9F=99=85**=C2=A0 When "Good Enough" Becomes, Uh, *Not* Good Enough**
--------------------------------------------------------


Paul Strauss thought he was making reasonable compromises. As CIO of Carall=
el, a healthcare startup navigating HIPAA compliance and high-trust custome=
r requirements, he started with a number of decisions he'd soon undo: BYOD =
for marketing folks, manual device tracking, spreadsheets for access manage=
ment.


"Within a year, we just said, we have to move to managing it all," Paul adm=
its. What changed? The company grew from 10 laptops to 45+ devices. Suddenl=
y, those "good enough" decisions weren't good enough anymore.


**The compounding cost of IT shortcuts**

The thing about early IT decisions is that, yes, while things no longer wor=
king at scale is obviously a concern, the bigger concern is when those deci=
sions start to actively work against you.=C2=A0


Paul's experience illustrates three critical inflection points where shortc=
uts become sinkholes:


**Device management debt.** When you're managing 10 laptops, tracking them =
in a spreadsheet feels manageable. At 45 devices across multiple states? Pa=
ul was driving 90 minutes round-trip to rural Oklahoma UPS stores, spending=
 hours each week on shipments, missing power cords, and inventory chaos. "T=
hose little annoyances add up over the course of the year," he notes.


**Identity sprawl.** Shared accounts and inconsistent password rules might =
work when your company's still very small. But as Paul discovered, "When th=
ree becomes 30, becomes 60, it doesn't work anymore." And for Carallel, dea=
ling with PHI and PII meant they couldn't afford the mess.=C2=A0


**The vendor lock-in trap.** Perhaps the most painful example: Paul selecte=
d a form creation tool years ago. Single user license? $200/month. Multiple=
 users? $10,000/month. "We're kind of stuck because we're using it," he say=
s. The migration cost, both in time and user disruption, is now higher than=
 the pain of working around a shared account.

IT decisions that optimize for "solving today's problem" create tomorrow's =
crisis. Here's what Paul learned the hard way:


**Don't scale: Manual processes**. Spreadsheet tracking, individual device =
provisioning, email-based credential sharing. These don't just slow down, t=
hey break entirely.


**Don't scale: Point solutions without integration.** JumpCloud worked for =
MDM, but couldn't handle physical asset management. Google Workspace handle=
d SSO, but made role-based access control painful. "We're trying to central=
ize as much as we can... one account for everything," Paul explains.=C2=A0


**Do scale: Automation from day one.** "Automate, automate, automate," Paul=
 emphasizes. "Wherever you can identify opportunities to take processes tha=
t require human intervention... figure out how to make that automatically r=
eplicable."


**Do scale: Compliance-forward thinking.** Understanding your industry's la=
ndscape, even requirements you won't face for another year, shapes better v=
endor selection. "Are they HIPAA compliant? Can they provide onshore resour=
ces?" These questions matter before you're locked in.


This week, take 15 minutes this week to audit one "good enough" IT decision=
 you made in the past year, and ask yourself: what's the cost a year from n=
ow if I don't fix this?=C2=A0


*And you can watch our whole conversation with Paul=C2=A0*[*here*](https://=
rippling.ondemand.goldcast.io/on-demand/1f3e1e73-d971-47f0-ad19-1a76d34ac5c=
e?rtlid=3D00QUd00000QcSfRMAV)*.(Editor's editor's note: we're sorry about t=
he hot mic.)*


Rippling's CTO, Albert Strasheim, went on the [**Modern CTO Podcast**](http=
s://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/modern-cto/id1325942361) this week to tal=
k about how we handle software sprawl at our own company using our IAM tool=
s.=C2=A0


Super interesting conversation, they cover a lot of what's facing CTOs thes=
e days. And since I know for a fact that a good amount of you reading this =
are CTOs, maybe you'll enjoy it!=C2=A0


[**Go give it a listen here.**](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-c=
ost-crisis-facing-ctos-and-how-to-solve-it/id1325942361?i=3D1000745283126)


While I assure you that Rhonda the iMac G3 remains safe and sound, the Xero=
x XD100 pictured above was not so fortunate. (That's why we didn't name it;=
 didn't want to get too attached.)
