About Technology and Milestones
Wikipedia defines traditional milestones as objects constructed to provide reference points along the road, used to reassure travelers that the proper path is being followed, and to indicate either distance traveled or the remaining distance to a destination.
The technology industry has adopted a lot of the vocabulary from the roadbuilding sector; we talk about product roadmaps, routes to market, paving the way and of course the ubiquitous milestone.
In many ways this first blog entry is a major milestone for Messaging Architects. It is a reference point along a road to build a more user-friendly web presence for clients and partners and is the combination of many months of work by our dedicated Product Marketing team.
Most of you have noticed the complete website overhaul that has taken place. We are quite proud of our new website and we've received numerous positive accolades and feedback about both the layout and the content. The unveiling of this blog section is part of our larger strategy to make our site a regular destination for Email Administrators and Policy Gurus, and it is part of a journey that started almost 15 years ago.
Over the years, we have helped thousands of clients and millions of end users to deploy robust and secure messaging infrastructure - or as we call it Business Driven Email. In the coming months, you will see others at Messaging Architects contribute their observations, knowledge and passion.
It is all part of what we perceive to be our mandate to provide thought leadership, awareness, conversation and perhaps even controversy on the topics that concern us, and you. It helps drive the bigger picture, our role as technology developers and global providers of risk management for enterprise e-mail. Hopefully you'll find some gems, some humor, some best practices, and many practical tips and tricks that you can implement overnight.
In future posts, I'll discuss some milestones that we've achieved recently and why I think they are significant.
