After watching that video, I asked myself these questions:
  • What can CommGate do to be a catalyst of Web 2.0 for small-medium businesses?
  • How can CommGate be a platform to support interactions between business applications, databases, text, video, audio - securely?
I know that if we can answer these questions, CommGate will be a very successful company - the most widely used platform for Web 2.0 for small-medium businesses.

Just think about it:
  • AJAX technologies is capable of replacing fat clients. Imagine dragging and dropping security policies on a web-browser?
  • Web based applications such as vTigerCRM replaces a desktop based CRM system while empowering users and businesses to work from anywhere to access their customer data securely.
  • The CommGate built-in VPN makes that a reality.
  • Alfresco and KnowledTree Document Management System replaces a traditional file-server with indexing and search capabilities with "Google Power".
  • Zimbra replaces a traditional mail server and beats MS Exchange in terms of collaboration, workflow, embedded technologies, web-maps, office-apps.
CommGate Web 2.0 anyone? What is it?
  • Maybe it is an integrated web 2.0 platform with a secure hardened OS based on Linux
  • that manages Internet and network bandwidth intelligently for all users
  • which secures the network and itself with integrated firewall, IDS, IPS, content-filter, audit itself and report anomalies with intelligent information which is easily readable by non-techies
  • a web server with built-in intelligence to provide reports from its logs which is useable by sales, marketing and business decision makers
  • an intelligent web server with a robust built-in and most popular SQL database (MySQL) to run all your business applications
  • a secure file-server that could support traditional file-sharing for Windows, Mac, UNIX, Linux, BSD and integrates with a document management server
.... could it be all that? It's a dream now... and if we work towards it, I know it will be a reality.

Your thoughts?

Strategic Plan vs. Operational Plan

Strategic Plan Vs. Operational Plan: Do You Know the  5 Main Differences ? What's the difference between a Strategic Plan vs. an Operational Plan? Both are plans but are they the same? If not, what’s the difference? Do you need both? Why do we need both?  After mentoring Start-Ups from pre-revenue to achieving at least S$1M in revenues since 2012 and supporting growing Small-Medium Enterprises within the S$4M to S$10M range revenues, whose leadership teams are stuck in their day to day operational matters and fire-fighting, I hear these questions frequently.  My response: A  strategic plan  outlines your Vision, Mission, Core Values to build the Culture with high-level goals for the next 3 to 5 years. It also takes into account how you’ll measure those goals, and the major projects you’ll take on to meet them. An  operational plan  (also known as a  work plan ) is an outline of what each of your business d...

The 4 Essentials of Effective Leadership

I read this article written Mark Raciappa, ActionCOACH and I totally agree. His communication is clear, concise and it resonated with me. Mark says; I remember a bumper sticker: “Either Lead or Follow—But Get Out of the Way!” Interestingly, in my company , I say something similar and it goes like this "If you can lead, lead. If you can't lead, follow. If you cannot lead or follow, get out of my way! Mark continued to write that, when our role calls for the former, here are 4 important things to keep in mind: 1. Great leaders communicate. Realizing that good communication is a 2-way street, we must be responsible for our part. That being said, true communication is the response that you get. Whatever form you choose (verbal, mail, e-mail, etc), if you don’t get the outcome you seek (from a “willing” recipient), the responsibility lies with the sender. Great leaders confirm, gain commitment, and solicit feedback to improve the process. 2. Great leaders make decisions...
