Life of an IBM Champion
As some of you know, I turned 100% freelance last year, and my income is now all down to me in my pursuit of assignments. If you want to book me, either as a user trainer for effective use of mail and calendar (Outlook IBM Notes or Gmail), general courses about IBM Notes, IBM Connections,…
We are the Champions
Last year I was fortunate enough to be named IBM Champion for 2017 by my peers in the IBM Collaboration Solutions community. It has been great. I have made even more friends in the community, I gotten my foot inside the door of places that were closed to me and I’ve been allowed to partake…

And while the platform is certainly an endangered species these days, there’s still stuff happening on the Domino front that companies and organisations contemplating on leaving the platform really should pay attention to. IBM has now launched a service that makes it possible for…

IBM Connect 2017 #6: A Recap of the Conference
At the bottom of this blog posting I’m linking to all the blogs I’ve written about IBM Connect. It’s now 15 days since I came home from San Francisco, and on Thursday it’s three whole weeks since the conference was over. I’ve been pretty busy with following up on stuff after the conference. Especially on…
IBM Connect 2017 #5: The Social Bit
First of all: A huge apology for my mistake in my third blog posting from Connect 2017. In this I wrote that Domino for iSeries would not be supported in the future. This is not true! I had misunderstood and the blog posting is now corrected. Sorry to IBM and all IBM partners and customers…
