Disruptive Technologies Remain Top Of Mind Among Business Technology Leaders It’s always a privilege and a pleasure to reach out to clients and prospects around the world.

SAP – The Message Back on Target
(Just a brief note. I’m writing this with a TERRIBLE cold and I don’t feel particularly sharp. In fact I feel about as sharp as a bar of soap – proof positive is this awful analogy). I’m not a Kremlin watcher when it comes to most large companies, though I do admit to an unhealthy […]
