Starting July 1st 2023 I’ll be launching a new company, Andover Intel, and doing all my blogging, writing, and consulting through that entity. As a part of this transformation, I’ll be suspending my blogging on this blog site and instead using Andover Intel at the link provided above. If you’ve registered to receive my current blog via RSS or email, you’ll need to register again under Andover Intel. If you don’t you can still access my blog there directly but you won’t receive an automatic feed.
Andover Intel was created to take a different slant on the “analyst” role we’ve had in the network/tech space for decades. Most analyst activity is seller-driven, meaning that vendors and providers make announcements and that generates coverage, pretty much the same as it does for tech media. Those who have followed my blog here know I’ve never been a fan of that approach, and so I’m taking a different path now. Andover Intel is user-driven. We have a special email address (see the Contact Us page) to allow users of technology (end users like enterprises and SMBs, and service and cloud provider personnel who are consumers of technology rather than sellers) to contact me with comments, questions, and insights of their own. It’s this material that I’ll be using to drive my work and blogs.
The material on the CIMI Corporation website will remain at least through 2024, and the emails will be operative through the end of 2023. I suggest that you start using the contact emails on Andover Intel’s website, though.
For those who have been getting consulting services and tech writing from me, the same services will be generally available through Andover Intel, but I’m deemphasizing on-site consulting in favor of Teams/Zoom work. If you have questions on what services are available please contact me via Andover Intel.
