It’s a bittersweet moment, but the time has come for me to officially step back from the SOTI discussion forums. As I move on to a new professional chapter, I couldn't walk away without saying a proper goodbye to this community.

I’ve recently taken on a new role at a different company which means my focus will be shifting away from Enterprise Mobility and device management. While I’m incredibly excited about this next challenge, it’s tough to step back from a space I’ve been so deeply involved in for so long.

Reflecting back, it’s wild to see how much the landscape has evolved since I first started contributing here. We’ve gone through some massive industry shifts together. From navigating the Device Administrator (DA) to Android Enterprise Device Owner (DO) to Scoped Storage and Managed Configurations, and beyond.

Thank you to the SOTI engineers, the power users, and the enterprise admins for always being willing to trade technical insights, challenge deployment assumptions, and help solve the real world headaches of managing hardware at scale. You all keep the supply chain, retail, and warehouse worlds moving, even when the EMM tooling don't want to cooperate.

A special shoutout goes to @Raymond Chan and @Rafael Schäfer. You both will have to hold it down in my absence. And please do try to get along while you're at it!

While I likely won't be actively posting standard Android OS queries or feature requests here anymore, I’d love to stay connected with this community. Please feel free to add me on LinkedIn so we can keep in touch, talk tech, or swap stories from the trenches.

Thanks for the years of collaboration, troubleshooting, and shared expertise.

Signing off, ✌️

Matt
