Welcome to the Profit from Technology blog

Hi,

My blog is about the germination of an idea. From writing a few helpful documents for customers to the emergence of a number of requests to write a book that encapsulated business technology and business process through to the creation of a business portal that can change the way a business functions.

Anyone who has decided to write a book I guess first starts off with an idea of words that relates to a given subject or even just a feeling. You can see it in your minds eye, a bit like a chemistry experiment watching gases rolling over each other, like clouds getting larger and larger.

Eventually the first word is thrown down (the cement analogy) and then the document begins to be constructed (now the bricks). In the case of Profit from Technology it was a case of having a burning desire demonstrate to companies that technology should make money but no one else was talking in the same terms.

Having worked in the technology industry for nearly 25 years I can safely say that the approach has never changed!
