It has been an interesting week in West Michigan for me (and very little snow). I had the opportunity to attend two technology sessions and visit several great organizations in the Grand Rapids area.
One of the technical sessions was a discussion by CIO's of major enterprises discussing the future of IT at their organizations. These organizations continue to prosper during this challenging time and they believed that this was due, in part, the their respective organizations reliance on IT as a strategic asset. Additionally each CIO stated that they expect their teams to understand their businesses and use technology, not for technology's sake but as a tool to better their organizations. To me, this re-enforces the corporate theme of "Understanding the Business of Business" .
This week my article entitled Master of disaster: Basic primer offers step-by-step recovery planning for the SMB was published by Manufacturing Business Technology.
We are preparing a presentation for ARMA entitled “Geek Talk 101 – communicating RM concepts in an IT language” that will be given on February 5th at Farmer/Foremost in Caledonia.

Coming back from Long Island
Just returned from Long Island where it was snowing. Wow is it cold here. Our pipes in the laundry room froze, and this is a relatively new house. The plumber came with an old battery charger and heated the lines.
Working on several exciting items including a presentation entitled “Geek Talk 101 – Communicating RIM Concepts in an IT Language” that will be given on Feb 5th to ARMA.
Making a few changes to the web page and delving into Salesforce.com. Created VB application that interfaces via their API.
Will be attending the Aimwest and the Fourth Friday Technology meetings this week.

Ada Business Technology
Today is my first attempt at blogging. I am starting to build up business relationships with enterprises that I can help with my experience and expertese as well as enterprises that can assist Ada Business Technology.
I vew myself as an IT person who has a diverse background. I have spent the last 20 years of my career as an IT working executive. By that I mean I have been a project manager, architect, designer and developer. I have created strategic and tactical plans. I have placed significant roles in ISO 9001 and SOX certification.
Right now I trying to build business relationships in the West Michigan area.
For those not in West Michigan, it is snowing lightly here. Over the next few days they expect a total of 5 to 8 inches. In Long Island this would be a major snow event. Here it is just winter.
