It’s not often that there is a genuine ‘green field’ opportunity, a real chance to start from scratch without the handicap of legacy, both in systems and working practices.

Ten Game-Changing Technology Shifts for 2012
I expect you will have read Ron Tolido’s post on seven very specific IT areas to watch in 2012 . Well, there are some things which are traditional and one of them in this industry is to start the new year with a set of predictions about which new technologies will be important in the year ahead. Well here are my thoughts on the topic that takes us beyond the current three terms that are …
