What do the cloud, collaboration and virtualization have in common?
January 27, 2012
With so much talk and buzz about cloud (computing, storage, application sharing) and Virtualization (server & desktop), it can seem as if though these two IT consolidation trends are trumping the Collaboration movement. Service Providers across the map have readied themselves for cloud computing by partnering with infrastructure and networking providers. Carrier clouds are all the rage: If you’re not selling cloud your customers are likely looking at alternatives. Virtualization services have dramatically increased since the days of pervasive computing, the reawakening VMware anything (server appliances and server blades) and screen scraping data movers and mungers (aka Citrix).

Microsoft Purchases Skype and Why this Makes Perfect Business Sense
May 10, 2011
Microsoft to Buy Skype for $8.5 Billion in Catch-Up Bid | www.bloomberg.com
As a UC Collaboration expert, and one experienced in the field of video acquistions, the announcement of Microsoft's $8.5B all cash deal certainly looks RICH on the surface, but fills a HUGE product void for the company. This software giant recognizes the world is getting flatter and smaller because the planet is increasingly MORE CONNECTED. At the core of consumer and enterprise connections is Unified Communication and Collaboration which will allow the greatest number of human touch points.

May 4, 2011
IPO Pick of the Week: RPX Corporation | seekingalpha.com
RPX Corporation is the self proclaimed NPE Fighter that 'reduces patent litigation costs'. This fledgling company, with little more than 2 years of full operating income, is poised to IPO as fast as many 'internet boom and bust' startups. Will RPX be different? Is RPX's business model sustainable? Can RPX Corp turn patent licensing, a traditionally 'lumpy' revenue model, into a smooth predictable quarter on quarter performance? How big is the market?

Managed Services HOT in Innovative Areas: Collaboration & Telepresence
December 4, 2009
T-Systems secures five-year BP contract | www.totaltele.com
Managed Services have seen roller coaster expansion and contraction based on new levels of Innovation. New Innovation is MOST often left to strong, well invested Managed Service Providers. As technologies mature, corporate CIO's and IT heads general understand the nuances of technologies and begin to bring those technologies in-house, while continued to outsource other "new technologies".
