A friend of mine asked me the other day how my business was faring. He wondered whether the recessionary environment was hurting me given the fact that many of my customers are in the retail and restaurant markets where times are pretty tough lately.
While I wouldn’t say that the recession is good for [...]
I’m a little behind on my reading, but just read a great post from Brad Feld on how software companies can often forget to fix the little things in their application that may seem insignficant, but that drive customers crazy.
It would seem to me that the mark of a customer focused, highly successful software company [...]
Given the strong industry trends supporting video surveillance providers and the fragmented nature of the market, it is no surprise the the NRA LP show was filled with a number of competitive video provider offerings. I’m not sure how other industries work, but I’ve found that our market has a refreshingly friendly competitive environment. I [...]
In my last post I gave some highlights of customers conversations at this past week’s NRF LP show. I also talked to a number of current and potential channel partners for MVaaS services. While there are a number of potential channels that weren’t represented at the show, there were a couple channel segments that were represented.

For those of you that aren’t basketball fans, let me give you a quick overview of the match up between the Celtics and the Lakers. The Lakers were favored going into the series. Their team is built around a player, Kobe Bryant, that is generally thought to be the best individual player on the planet. [...]
I’ve been a die-hard Celtics fan for a long time. I followed them religiously when they were horrible from the early 90’s until last year. This year has finally been a year where I can actually root for them to win (in years past I wanted them to lose to get a better draft position) [...]
