Publications and Public Speaking

Our expert staff shares its knowledge with the industry through various forums and publications, through our own ViewsLetter, books, trade publications, and industry conferences.

ViewsLetter(SM)
ViewsLetter is an email newsletter that isn't tied to the news, but may use a "news peg" to select a topic on which one (or more) of our consultants has a strong opinion.  Our  analysis is based on historical perspective and knowledge of end users' needs--it might give your head a spin. 
 
We regularly  participate as tutors and panelists at major industry conferences and seminars such as ComNet, Networld+Interop, SuperComm, VoiceCon, Next Generation Networks, MPLScon/FutureNet, and CTExpo.   As schedules permit, we are happy to visit high school and college classes studying networks and IT to share our knowledge, at no charge.
