RapidACE making gains Apr 10

Hello everyone, I’ve been strangely quiet on my blogs lately, as I’ve been heads down in my complete re-write of my software product: RapidACE.  There’s a brand new engine, and it’s twice as strong as before and it will blow away any of the competition out there (at least I think so).  Soon, I will release video demonstrations of the product in action.  Students in my coaching area will be the first to access the engine itself.  It will be available as a SaaS engine to you.

Game Changing Environment May 26

There’s been a movement afoot for quite some time now, and in fact – the big wave of technology is headed into the sky, or more to the point: the clouds.  I have been reading about and investigating cloud computing for quite some time now, and I am convinced that Cloud is here to stay.  So why all the hype?  Why is it game-changing?  What about it makes it so different?  Well, read on and I’ll try to share some thoughts with you.

Work that I’m engaged on… May 24

I have the privelage of working on a couple contracts that hopefully will make peoples lives better.  One program is a Data Vault for tracking patient visits, prescriptions, and events – the results of this Data Vault will feed the BI solution that allows doctors and medical professionals around the world help keep people safe, and healthy (especially when something happens to them and they have to visit a doctor that they don’t know).  Another program is using a Data Vault to assist in keeping cities safe – the ability to know when to deploy law enforcement to the right place at the right time, and hopefully to assist in the reduction of crime rates by visible presence.
