Peter Mayer (Pelicam) | Article about Innovation, Technology viewpoints | Posted on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 I recently spent a week in Silicon Valley, California - visiting some leading and potentially bleeding edge technology providers. Accompanied by fifteen UK based COOs, CIOs and CTOs it gave us the opportunity to identify new trends in the technology marketplace, the impact for us as business consumers, and insights to the challenges we may soon face. We visited a mix of large scale suppliers and some start-up companies, all recommended to us by a group of friendly valley-based venture capitalists.
Peter and I thought cycling the Ridgeway in two days would be a challenge, 45 miles each day… but all very achievable! What we didn’t factor in was the off road terrain, turnstiles, poor map reading skills, punctures, the need for replacement bikes and Peter cycling with jet lag (having flown in from the States at 7.30am that morning) combined with the hottest weekend of the year so far!
Pelicam is delighted to launch its new website – a clean, eye-catching and informative reference on Pelicam, who we are and what we achieve for our clients.
I’ve been thinking back over my career at all the technology upgrade programmes I’ve been involved with and reflecting on the common themes. I’ve become paranoid about the amount of technical risk known and unknown with upgrade projects because so many have been exceptionally hard to deliver.
