This is a collection of my thoughts on issues facing the enterprise and new technology. As Head of Marketing for Central North & East Europe for Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, I am at the cutting edge of new developments and concepts and I will be giving my unique insights on topical issues twice a month. I am particularly interested in how organisations can move away from single-vendor tie-ins to achieve greater business benefits. I also have strong views on the implications of cloud computing on the enterprise. Hopefully, my blog will interest readers and stimulate further discussion via the comments section at the bottom of each piece.
