So what's the goal here?
My mission is to help business owners, IT Executives and Executive Management make informed technology decisions. That's it - simple!
If you've ever needed more information, clarification of a specific solution or technology, or maybe just an independent 3rd party take on a solution that you IT team is proposing for your business, then this is the place for you! I can give you very technical information, or very non-technical versions of the same information, in many ways. Remember, the goal is for YOU to be able to make informed technology decisions!
If you don't understand a proposal or the technology behind it, then how can you make a decision that you are comfortable with, without a doubt? Information is power, and the power to run and manage your company hinges on the knowledge you have to make strategic business operations decisions. Without all of the information, each decision, whether technical or not, can and will have dramatic effects on the future of your business.
If there is a technology or topic you want discussed, please register and send me a message from the 'Contact' area so I can address them here for all to benefit from, or if you wish, we can keep the discussion 1-on-1.
The ball is in your court...after all, it's your ball we're talking about!
