Hello! I'm Alan Plastow, founder of The Network!:
Job security for each of us depends upon the knowledge we carry in our
minds, coupled with our ability to apply that knowledge in the real
world. This site is about helping you become more capable - at work;
in your overall professional career; and even at home. Whether you're
in management or on the front lines of industry, certain skills will
contribute directly to your success--to your family's economic security. Those skills are the ones we want to help people improve. While our core audience consists
of professionals in the arenas of project management, software and copyrighted product
compliance - software asset management - technology asset
management - and IT portfolio management - a majority of the skills we discuss will help anyone who wishes to improve their abilities become a substantially more capable part of the workforce.
(Even & especially those of you who do not currently have a job.)
We are vendor-neutral.
Our solutions, the ideas we deliver, are based on easily used common sense business process improvement methodologies--not a product. We do not maintain relationships with suppliers of technology-related goods and services. We don't sell or promote software or hardware. Our communications with members do not contain supplier advertising and our Knowledge Briefings are not written by, or funded by, technology industry players. We are YOUR advocate--your ally--in reducing the costs and risks of business technology goods and services.
What Do We DO at The Network! ?
The Network! provides the proven business process improvement strategies and tactics you
need to maximize your return on technology investments while minimizing
risks. Of equal importance, we provide results you can achieve in a genuinely cost-effective and rapid implementation. The results we help you realize are tied to every day common sense solutions to common issues, not to those expensive and highly complex international standards developed for the nearly unlimited technology budgets of the multi-nationals.
Discover the procedures for protecting your company from
punitive software & copyright compliance audits. Take control of
your technologies back from predatory licensing practices and place
that control firmly back in your own hands with more dynamic agreement
negotiation strategies. Deliver technology asset management results
that reach way beyond anything your competitors would even consider.
Take control of your own professional development and growth potential
with our focused learning materials. Check out our Professional Development Programs.
