Professional Services

I offer a range of professional services through my company philipson.info. Most of these have to do with writing about or talking about the IT industry. You can go to my short CV or download my long CV to see the extent of my past professional activities. I also conduct courses in business writing.

The IT industry is large and complex, and I am not an in-depth specialist in any part of it, though I have done a lot of work in enterprise applications software in recent years. Generally speaking my knowledge of the industry is broad rather than deep, and my perspective is on big picture trends, and how technologies relate to each other and society, rather than on specific technology areas. Testimonials are available.

My public speaking and training activities have their own web page on this site. Access them through the menu on the sidebar, or through these links: public speaking and training. Brochures describing these services can also be downloaded from these pages. For more information on my writing capabilities and history, see my CV (links above) and read some of my articles.

I am associated with a number of other organisations that offer a range of related products and services. These currently include:

• Connection Research Services: Australian company researching the digital and connected home market
• BioLateral Group: Bioinformatics and biotechnology market research consultancy
• The Butler Group: British based IT market research and analysis company. I am a research associate.
• John Fairfax Limited: Major Australian newspaper publisher. I write a weekly column on IT for flagship newspapers The Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's The Age.
• Law Central: Perth (Western Australia) based company delivering boiler-plated legal documents over the Internet. I am a director of and investor in this company.
