Following on from my previous post, I thought I would let you know that the HTG Groups are coming to the UK. The facilitator/moderator will be Dave Sobel of Evolvetech who will be jetting in from the US to guide/support the Group with a first meeting planned in for mid October time.
One thing I wanted to say in public is that I won’t be joining the Group and it has nothing to do with not seeing the value of them. Many people I respect are members of them and really value them. I would certainly encourage those SBSC Partners who are looking for growth to consider joining. For me, as I’ve written previously, lots of things are changing and Ashish and I are putting investment into many aspects of our business Ardent iSys and you just have to make your choice somewhere. Also, we’re a Software Business not an Infrastructure Business which is essentially what the other Partners will be.
One thing that is a regret is that we have to rely on our US Colleagues for something like this which I think is a shame but that’s the reality and why reinvent the wheel?

Having attended a HTG meeting whilst in Houston, TX recently, where the future of HTG was discussed - I can say I’m really excited about HTG11 in the UK. I’ve already begun engaging with some fellow HTG members in the States and there are some people within HTG who are very very switched on indeed. Roll on October!

Thanks for the “plug”. I guess I don’t see it as the UK relying on the US — we simply have some traction already, and an idea that we consider “this good” simply needs more resources. To make it everything it can be, we need more than just US partners — we want this to include everyone!
