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
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.
