As the clouds settle

when do they finally land on small and mid-sized businesses?

How many small and mid-sized companies are doing things in-house that could be done cheaper and more efficiently by a network utility company? (Note the phrasology there…)

For a few years now, I’ve contemplated how to send Nick Burns back to selling the latest Android devices at the Verizon Wireless store. Where I was getting hung up is that as my business idea succeeded, the customer base would almost disappear.

I’m not sure that’s that important, now. Yes, there is opportunity in transition operations, but there’s a lot of messes to clean up that Nick Burns, MCP+, Net+, Sec+, CCNA, RHCE, etc. created.

After the transition work, there’ll be places where you’d need to convince the 1970/80s MBA that he doesn’t need to run everything in-house to be zomgsekur.
