Last week I was invited to deliver a presentation on behalf of Netsourcing at the EMEA Hosting Club Executive Roundtable event in Barcelona.
The presentation was about how Netsourcing have successfully implemented Softgrid to streamline their application delivery processes and improve the service offerings available to their customer base.
The presentation seemed to be fairly well recieved and I wanted to make a recoding of it available here for those who attended and for anyone else who has an interest in hosting services, application virtualisation or service deliver platforms.
There are two podcasts available, the Enhanced Audio .m4a version and the simple .mp3. Whichever you like, I hope that you enjoy it!

We had our EMEA team meeting today (Friday 7th December) and it brought home to me the things which I sometimes miss as a ‘work from home’ remote consultant. The discussions which took place, both around the conference table and over beers and then dinner later, were invaluable. Being able to interact, on a personal level, with not only the team I work with on a day-to-day basis but with Scott Tucker and Steve Winter as our executives, has provided me with a renewed sense of value and belonging. Sometimes I think that we underestimate the ‘human touch’ in our work days. And I have to admit to missing the passing conversations and off-the-cuff discussions I had with my colleagues in former places of work. IM, email and even iChat and Skype can only go far to replacing this personal interaction and for me I think that it’s not far enough.
I think that I’ll endevour to spend more time with the guys in the future when project meetings etc permit. It’s well worth it!
