MORE ABOUT ME...

I am one guy who has been watching IT develop from a distance for a number of years.

I am now working to get up to speed and back into the consulting business in a very different world. A world where the economics and power of IT change everything. Things that were speculation only a few years, are ready to use. I can set up an Amazon Web Service Instance (my own virtual computer for $.20 per hour (when I am using it) and $10 a month for 100g of storage and Oracle 11g (while I am learning.

I have been thinking about the paperless office since a eureka moment in 1977. The problem then was their were two types of terminals, text and graphics. Then came bit mapped screens in the BBN bitgraph and the corvus and then the Mac

I believe there is a tremendous market in helping small businesses get started with IT. Something that will work while they a little. (One or two people in an office). Kind of a company in a can. A can that can carry them through to the size they envision. This without starting out with Access / OWA and then having to "migrate" to something scalable. Something with IT and collaboration both facilitated.

I have hopes that Oracle and Amazon (Fusion 11g / AIA and Amazon AWS) together or each of them separately will offer a solution to the small business that has big ideas and little money. Starting up with a can of Fusion 11g middle ware on a AWS instance. From business planning to full scale operation without the wrenching conversion.

I had a company for Electronic Delivery of PO's die on me as we tried to scale up rapidly in the process of setting up both service IT and our business operation IT.

I can't imagine my Idea or the perception of the need is unique. I have no hopes or ablility to do this myself. I would like to be able to walk into the small start up and show them how to use this.

The incubator effect of AWS's pay for what you use now is also great.
