Good Technology Looks Towards Professional Services
Good Technology is shifting strategies yet again. Realizing that both the hardware and software games they are in were looking increasingly like commodity businesses, they're now pushing their new professional services "consulting" practice to try to boost revenue. They're going to try to support enterprises who are trying to figure out how to get the most benefit in moving their email to a wireless solution. Of course, many people may be skeptical that the "consulting" side of the business is really just a way to scrape a little more money out of customers while selling them only on Good's own products, so it may take some effort to convince some customers of the value of such consulting efforts.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
