Issue 1 – March 2017

Welcome to the first edition of our new, quarterly round-up of project news, blog posts of interest and links to content we think will be of interest – from our website and the wonderful worldwide web.

Why are you sending you this? Well, we spend a lot of time focused on delivery and have even been accused of hiding our light under a bushel. So this is designed to remind you we’re still here doing all the great JEE and JBoss stuff we’ve always done, but that there’s also a few other strings to our bow you probably didn’t know about.

Feel free to share with colleagues and thanks for taking the time to review Tier 2 Consulting.

Kind regards

Chris Ellis
Head of Marketing & New Business

PS: if this quarterly bulletin is one email too many, use the get-out clause at the bottom.

Because business is software^™

There is no doubt that business leaders are losing sleep night at wondering how to put customers at the centre of their IT thinking when it comes to shaping the products and processes needed to keep them competitive (and keep their customers).
