Although President-elect Donald Trump won't take office for two months, the information technology industry is reacting to his upset election victory, mixing both concern and support, especially over potential changes in economic and regulatory policy.

While the industry – especially Silicon Valley-based companies – steered clear of the president-elect during the campaign and were shocked after the votes were counted, more recent articles turned toward potential policy and legislative changes. For instance, an article in The Atlantic last week suggested that Silicon Valley and Trump may find common ground.

Here's a summary of post-election quotes from recent CRN.com articles:

Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins during the company's first-quarter earnings call, on Nov. 16:

"I have not heard a lot of U.S.-based service providers who have paused directly related to the election, but I do believe that the regulatory environment in the U.S. is obviously in-flux around the telecom environment and that could have implications for the service providers and some of them may wait and see how that plays out."

Rob Chamberlin, co-founder and chief revenue officer for solution provider DataXoom, of Walnut Creek, Calif., on whether net neutrality will be challenged or changed under Trump (The Obama administration favored net neutrality, but Trump has referred to it as a "top down power grab" and an "attack on the internet."):

"It will be interesting to see how the telecoms respond in the interim as we figure out where [Trump] stands. … But since it’s a Republican-led House and Senate, we are going to have to bet on the historical beliefs of the party, instead of the candidate."

Arnie Bellini, CEO of ConnectWise, expressing hope that Trump will create a better operating climate for managed service providers:

"I think he will get government regulations aligned with business. … There's a lot of opportunity for a smart, savvy businessperson in the White House."

Bob Swensen, president of solution provider Total Technology Solutions, based in Towson, Md.:

"I think we can turn the economy around and grow the economy. I'm hoping it's going to open up some of the wallets. … He's a businessman, and if we run things like a business, I think it's going to help the economy a lot."

Steve Torbick, owner of solution provider TESS Associates, of Blairstown, N.J., on the Affordable Care Act and Trump's business background:

"I'm not sure if we should throw the whole [Affordable Care Act] out, but we have to do something about the fact that insurance costs are through the roof."

Bob Venero, CEO of solution provider Future Tech, of Holbrook, N.Y.:

"I applaud his drive to have more manufacturing done in the U.S. … Letting other countries do the work that should be done with the blood, sweat and tears of Americans is draining our knowledge base and our value."

Meg Whitman, CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, who had supported Trump's Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton:

"While the results of the election are not what I had hoped for, I believe that once the debate is over and the votes have been counted, it is the obligation of every citizen to support our president. … So, I for one intend to give President-elect Trump the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to demonstrate that he can lead our diverse nation."
