Service Provider Insider

The Rapid Segmentation Of The SP Industry

Sorry if I haven't been keeping this blog as updated as I should. 

Yes, there's a lot to talk about.  No, there's never enough time in the day to write it all down :)

I suppose the first observation is obvious: the "IT as a service" service provider industry in in full swing.  Many new players, many new plays.

A while back, I offered up some thoughts as to how the industry might segment itself along predictable lines. 

Turns out I was both right and wrong.  It's happening, but much faster than I would have predicted.

Live From London: The EMC EMEA SP Summit

It was a good week last week.  I was fortunate enough to help out at EMC's first-ever EMEA service provider summit.  Many thanks to Richard Bradbury and his team for a wonderful event.

For those of you who are interested in the whole IT-as-a-service provider thing, I wanted to recap a few key learnings for those who couldn't attend.
