Welcome to our Fall
Quarterly Newsletter. As this worldwide pandemic drags on with no
certain end in sight, the abnormal has become normal. I know that many
of you have taken actions that you never expected to be necessary to
ensure the health of your business.
But life goes on and business must continue.
Please let us know about your company's challenges and solutions
in this trying time. As always, we're here as a resource to you if
there is anything we can do for you.
The fall edition of the newsletter again has 3
new articles, as well as our catalog of existing resources.
The first article covers the very important topic of
positioning strategy in tech companies. Our second article provides our
take on a much discussed topic in the tech world - the right time in
your life to start up a company. Lastly, our third article discusses
the importance of the term "digital transformation" in
software and hardware marketing.
Please reach out if you'd like
to discuss any of our articles - as well as
anything else on your mind. Please contact me using the email
address or phone number below.
Let's now go to the new articles for this quarter:

Digital Transformation
– is it Important in Tech Marketing?

The term "digital transformation" has been
around for a while now, and is used - and misused - very broadly by
vendors and others pushing their wares. Because of it's broad use by
customers as well as vendors, ignoring this term is not practical
for a large number of hardware and software companies. Read on for a
discussion of this topic, including some best practices on its
definition and usage: Read Article
