  • Understanding the New VCSP Partner Transition and M&A FAQ
    Sep 26 2025

    Broadcom’s VMware program changes come with a lot of information, but you don’t have to sort through it alone. In this episode of The Notice, OTAVA CEO TJ Houske walks through the newly released VMware FAQ and explains what these changes really mean for you. And, we added a few fun videos throughout to help break it up.

    Instead of just rules and dates, we break it down into what matters most for partners and customers, and how OTAVA can help you move forward with confidence.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    - What’s actually changing in the VMware program
    - What non-renewing partners can (and can’t) do
    - How subscription transfers and licensing really work
    - Key dates and milestones to plan around
    - How OTAVA partners with you to simplify the transition

    At OTAVA, we believe complex doesn’t have to mean complicated. Consider this your quick-start guide to making sense of VMware’s new world.

    Subscribe to The Notice for more updates, clarity, and resources designed to help you navigate change with confidence.

  • We're home! Why Indy is the place to be
    Jun 19 2025

    TJ Houske shares our major announcement—OTAVA has officially moved our headquarters to Indianapolis! He’s joined by Brock Hesler, fellow Hoosier and OTAVA team member, for an insightful conversation about why Indiana is the perfect place to plant roots and grow big things—especially in tech.

    They talk about:

    • Why Indy? (Spoiler: it’s more than cornfields and basketball.)
    • The booming tech scene across Indiana—think data centers, AI, health IT, and more.
    • Their personal ties to the state and what it means to be a part of something bigger than business.

    With economic momentum building and tech talent sticking around instead of flying out, it’s clear: Indiana is on the map—and OTAVA is all in.

    Go Pacers. Go OTAVA.
