Who it is for

The origin page describes the blog as news, technology updates, industry trends and expert insights from blueAPACHE and its partner ecosystem. In practice the press items track blueAPACHE's awards and vendor partnerships, which matter to buyers assessing the company's standing with Microsoft, HPE, Mimecast, Huntress, ControlUp and NinjaOne; the news items are practical guidance on Microsoft 365 security, AI governance obligations from 10 December 2026, and budgeting.

How to read the awards posts

Awards posts state a result at the time of writing: the 24 June 2026 post says "shortlisted", the 19 June post says "finalist", the 2 September post says "finalist" for 2026 and describes blueAPACHE as a seven-time winner of the ARN Mid-Market category. Shortlisted and finalist are not the same as won, and this directory keeps the distinction rather than collapsing them. The About hub records awards by body, year and the result wording used, without adding superlatives.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of content is on the blueAPACHE blog?

Press releases about awards, partnerships and customer wins; republished trade press from outlets such as ARN and TechDay; and opinion pieces by blueAPACHE executives on security, AI governance and IT spending. Posts are filterable by service and by type.

How many posts are there, and how far back do they go?

This archive holds 406 posts. The oldest date from blueAPACHE's early years and cover topics such as CryptoLocker, the end of Windows Server 2003 support and the NBN rollout; the most recent is from 2 September 2026. Posts are grouped here by subject rather than by year, because blueAPACHE publishes a publication date on its listing page but not on every individual post.

How often is it updated?

The origin listing shows sixteen posts between 26 May and 2 September 2026, roughly one a week, clustered around announcements such as the Mimecast launch in late June and the ControlUp partnership in late August.

Who writes the posts?

Most press items are unsigned company announcements. The EOFY 2026 piece is by Jean Roux, Chief Financial Officer. Republished articles are attributed to the original publication.

Where can I read about blueAPACHE's awards?

The blog carries the 2026 announcements (ARN Innovation Awards finalist, MSP 501, CRN Channel Awards shortlist, techpartner.news Impact Awards finalist), and the archive groups 57 award, ranking and recognition posts together. The About hub lists awards by year and body across 2018 to 2026.

Which posts explain new services?

The June 2026 posts on Human Risk Management as a Service with Mimecast, the August 2026 ControlUp posts on Managed Services Re-engineered, and the May 2026 post on bringing Microsoft agentic AI to mid-market organisations.

Is there an RSS feed or newsletter?

The origin page includes a subscription form but no feed URL is published. The events listing links to OUTCOME 2026 on 8 October 2026.
