Doom and gloom. There is certainly enough of it to go around. My commute regularly finds me listening to NPR and lately I’m bombarded with company after company announcing lay offs and all kinds of market pundits saying how bad the economy is and how its going to get worse. Hard to argue with their [...]
A couple of months back I posted about how the impending (at the time I posted it was impending) recession and how I thought it would favor Managed Video as a Service providers. A couple of my arguments for why it would favor companies like Envysion have been playing out in the market

This has been an interesting last two weeks in both the broader financial markets and in our market for video solutions.
I’ve already written about my views on the near to medium term impact on the MVaaS space – I’ve hypothesized that MVaaS providers will do differentially well during tough economic conditions given the strong ROI [...]
I am continually amazed at how limited some large organization’s current video capabilities are today. I always assumed that smaller operators would be at a disadvantage and would have a more minimalist set of video capabilities than the big operators that have large corporate support infrastructures.

It is a crazy time in the world when you see something like the current credit crisis reverberating around the world in such a dramatic and rapid manner. Thomas Freidman wrote “The World is Flat” to highlight the growing global competitiveness and the fact that it is becoming a much more level international playing field. Wonder [...]
I spent the entire day today at one of Colorado’s largest gatherings of entrepreneurs and technology companies, CSIA’s DemoGALA. We were there to demonstrate our service having been selected as one of Colorado’s 20 most innovative companies.
