Hello Martin

Slowly transisitioning into possible Security role at work and learning on Security – Traditional, Internet, Cloud Based and interaction with systems, Technology and people as well.

I really enjoyed your presentation on Security vulnerabilities of Cloud information was put across in simple straight forward way without getting into common problem of waffling, going into too much depth and jargons. Plus your manner was interesting and not boring or mono it had life and character to it.

Comment on How R&D, Innovation And Integration WIll Help Reverse HP’s Market Share Decline by Rich Kightley

The recent collapse of Kodac is a salutary message to corporations that even the biggest must be able to transform themselves when step-changes in technology and consumer usage undermine their old business models.

I would look for a market-beating HP Smart phone and low-energy HP MP Cloud Server. I expect HPs deal with ARM will provide this, if there is more R&D expenditure from HP.

As an industry outsider, it seems to me that HP and MS are distracted by the huge turnover and profits they have from their current products, and don’t realise that a step change in technology has taken place. In todays instance, this change is the growth in Smart phones and other Cloud Technologies.
It can be expensive and commonly almost impossible to try and catch up when early opportunities to profit in new products and services have been missed.

Comment on Apple Grows Revenues 73% In Q4 2011, Records Highest Ever Industry Profit by Rich Kightley

These figures drive home the fact that Smart phones and other mobile devices are selling like hot-cakes all over the world-and many believe that it is going to transmogrify I.T.!

Don’t take my word for it.

At a mini-seminar on Cloud and Management run by aap3 the (top-end recruitment agency) at “the Dell” in Southampton, UK on the 24th inst. the CTO of IBM, John Easton laid out the salient issues likely to effect local businesses.

Primarily he stressed Cloud is not a sales trick. It is real and it is going to have sweeping affects, including morphing the I.T. department.

Smart phone business users and consumers alike, from 5 years old upwards, will demand services instantly.

Business users will want to know why in-house services can be so slow to use and improve in the I.T. department, but so instant and dynamic using Smart devices.

As the globe-trotting MD of TelcoSale (Business and Telecoms Development) Steve Gauntlett pointed out; “Today an ordinary Nigerian worker in Lagos (the largest city in the world now) may be dressed in threadbare clothes but he still is carrying a mobile phone.”

We all agreed that tomorrow, he will have a Smart phone and that the Nigerian economy will boom, just as our economy is likely to boom if the necessary Telecoms and Cloud services are available.
