Net-new

The best solutions begin with the right questions.

“Net-new” is a term myself and some fellow users coined years ago to separate out what were normal systems upgrades versus a net new IT solution deployments. It came to be used as a bar or filter to manage scope.  It is expressed here as pragmatic strategies and insights for users and vendors when assessing how to deploy something that is, well, net new.

If you design, develop, deliver or assess new IT solutions to new challenges…Net-new articles will help you ask the right questions.  Being at the vanguard of developing new go-to-market (GTM) models in fast paced industries is risky.

Navigating your investments in this space requires a full look at the engineering, marketing, sales, logistics and more.  These articles help you determine what is leading and what is bleeding edge.  They go technically deeper than most marketing articles but don’t get bogged in it.

I refined this framework the lead solution developer of Green Technologies (Cisco EnergyWise) across Cisco’s global building portfolio.  The results are impressive.

The articles you find here are written with the user in mind, primarily those who are responsible for delivering net-new IT and OT solutions. While the technology topics are diverse, what unites them is the real world perspective I provide.

Articles typically cover IoT, Sustainability, Energy, Data Engineering, Cloud, Data Centers, Networking, Compute, Storage and Systems Integration.
