For anyone facing a big move situation, there are far more questions than ever are answers. Having moved home and office in 2017, it’s not an action I am contemplating repeating any time soon.

You’ll see Insider Technologies at BITUG, GTUG and VTUG before the summer is upon us! It’s widely regarded that these conferences are some of the best organized.

Turn-Key NonStop? What the heck is that?!? Well over the last few years, TCM has endeavoured to expand the depth of the services we provide our Customers. The starting point for any consideration of improving these services and/or how we provide them is the question: “What can we do to add real value to our Customers?”. When ... read more

The greatest evolution in payments is taking place at the consumer level. I recently enjoyed a meal at a London-based Thai Restaurant where a £5 discount enticed me to download the restaurant’s own-label payment app. Well I thought this will be worth it just for the £5. What I didn’t foresee was the built-in receipt delivery straight ... read more

The NonStop Insider Editors asked me to talk a little about our company: Reminding us that perhaps not everyone in the NonStop ecosphere is familiar with Tributary Systems, our history, mission, and current products made me pause and realize that while there’s a lot of NonStop “old-timers” in the mix, there’s a lot of new folks too. And ... read more

Change can happen at any time and oftentimes, completely by accident. We change jobs, we move to a new house, we swap perfectly good cars for the latest model. All around us we see change and for the most part, we are in the middle of it all. As a community, NonStop users are always looking at the HPE product portfolio to see what new ... read more

There was a lot of criticism before the company split in two that was directed at HP over some of the acquisitions HP had made. There were substantial losses incurred by HP and in many ways, these miscues ultimately led to the spin-merge of non-core software with MicroFocus. The new-look, trimmed-down HPE has been the subject of much ... read more

SunTUG is well and truly in the rear view mirror as is DUST (more than appropriate, given the rear view mirror imagery), and for many Southern California’s SCTU event of April 19 is too close to think of changing plans, but gatherings of NonStop users continues unabated and that is good news for the NonStop community. However, as you ... read more

Last month I asked the question – how many blogs do you read on a regular basis. In part this question was fueled by the arrival of two new blogs that I am closely associated with but just as importantly, the question was asked to prompt feedback about where today’s NonStop community members turn to for interaction with other members of ... read more
