Today we’re celebrating the dads, father figures, mentors and leaders who show up, solve problems, protect what matters and keep things moving.

From all of us at Expera IT, Happy Father’s Day.

If your latest IT hardware quote made you do a double take, you are not alone.

Laptops, desktops, servers, storage, cloud services and energy costs are all feeling the impact of the AI infrastructure race. What businesses paid in 2025 may not be a realistic benchmark for 2026.

For leaders, this means IT budgets need a second look. Not later. Now.

Re-forecast, prioritize what matters most, and plan around today’s pricing, not last year’s.

Forty years after Challenger, the lesson still hits hard: warning signs only matter if leaders act on them.

You have cyber insurance.

That doesn’t mean you’re covered.

The person who:

We’re heading to the FEI Canada Conference 2026 on Monday!

Finance leaders are dealing with a very different risk landscape right now.
AI is accelerating threats.
Cyber insurance is tightening.
And accountability is shifting to leadership.

This is the kind of conversation that can’t wait.

If you’re attending, let’s connect. We’ll be there talking about what’s actually changing and what finance leaders need to be paying attention to right now.

Happy Victoria Day!

Wishing everyone a great long weekend across Calgary, Toronto, and beyond.

Take the time to unplug, get outside, and enjoy the start of summer.

Cyber risk doesn’t sit with IT.
It sits with leadership.

If something goes wrong, the question won’t be
‘what failed?’

It will be
‘who was responsible?’

Your employees are already using AI. The real risk is that leadership does not see it.

Shadow AI is happening across organisations, often with good intent. Employees are trying to move faster and work smarter, but without oversight, it creates serious exposure around data, compliance, and security.

Most businesses are focused on adopting AI. Very few are focused on governing it.

This article breaks down where the real risks are and what leadership needs to put in place to regain control.
