Welcome to the March edition of Boss News. All the signs are that ‘Spring has most definitely sprung’ here in the UK, with fresh green shoots sprouting up all over. In parallel with this spirit of regeneration, activity within the sector is being ramped up accordingly. Amongst the news items you will note considerable M&A activity, as companies extend partnerships by merging or acquire organisations to augment their existing offerings.
Activity and interest continue to be generated via exhibitions, both the traditional, large scale affairs, such as CeBIT, attended by many global organisations and other, smaller events, which demonstrate a more personal approach and are run by individual companies for their customers and prospects. We have reports from Paul Carman, SVP, North America and Geert Kruiter, VP, Continental Europe about two such events, both of which make for enlightening reading.
This month, we present another of our popular and informative Business Leader Interviews, with Mark Edwards, CEO, Document Boss talking to Jackie Herring, founder of Persuasion Strategy, an outsourced telemarketing, sales and training organisation in the UK. We also introduce the first in an ongoing series of Business Leader Opinion articles. These will tackle a different subject each month and will aim to offer a broad spectrum of opinion on the particular topic for discussion, which, this month is SharePoint.
We very much hope you enjoy this month’s edition of Boss News and find it instructive: our aim is always to inform our readers and, to that end, we welcome suggestions about content for future issues.
Kind regards,
Isabel Ross-Edwards
