So the other day I heard something that really resonated with me –“So if you find that you think you are the smartest guy in the room – you should go to a different room.”

I really love that and I realized after looking at that and contemplating it – I have a lot to learn and there a lot of smart people out there in this space that I can learn from.

I had the pleasure of working with an analyst firm run by a really smart guy and also a very talented writer – Jerome Wendt. He had an ability that took complicated technical topics and presented them in a digestible manner. Jerome would study different vendor’s solutions and compare them and go so far as to rank them – pretty bold right. He ended up selling millions of copies of the DCIG Buyer’s Guides – covering different solutions.

I loved that approach and found another Analyst firm that has a very large staff of talented analyst that cover a wide spectrum of IT topics. Ben Book runs this organization (GigaOm) and we recently partnered up with them to bring their content to folks that we deal with – you all.

While having in excess of 35 years of practical experience in this space I can honestly say that that I have never found myself to be the smartest person in the room because I have been fortunate to be in the right place at the right time and be surrounded with truly brilliant folks.

Enough of the mushy stuff, check out our solutions😊 Talk to Tim

Steps to Take to Protect YOUR Company Jewels

So, we continue to hear in the media the drama resulting from criminals taking control of data center operations by gaining access to companies’ data and subsequently encrypting the backup data – RANSOMWARE.
