I’m back!
Hi all,
You may have noticed, if you were interested, that I haven’t blogged for a while.
The reason…basically I haven’t been really passionate about anything much in the last month or so. Don’t know if it is to do with a slowish start to the year, being a one person business working in slight isolation or just one of those things.
Although Windows 2008 and Vista SP1 have arrived, I still didn’t feel the enthusiasm of earlier launches as I blogged about before.
Thinking about this though, the one thing I am very passionate about is helping my clients. Helping them run their businesses better by getting to know how and why they run the business. How technology and especially the right technology can help run their business better. Becoming a trusted partner to their businesses. Basically, everything that myself and many many other single person or small IT businesses can/should provide to their clients. Something I think the big (PC World/BT/Dell etc) service providers cannot, although they claim local presence etc.
The credit crunch may be beginning to hit with some clients looking at leasing instead of buying outright. However, I haven’t detected companies not wanting a focused, personal, local, trusted IT provider to become their outsourced IT department and business partner.
Roll on SBS 2008…now that is something I am enthusiastic about
