With all due respect to the Nimsoft  marketing department, more and more Service Providers are finding us first.It’s fantastic to enjoy the type of market position that drive prospects to find you.But with those great expectations,comes the burden to over deliver on value and innovation.We embrace that burden. New customers…you have come to the right place!

I thought I would be enjoying somewhat milder weather on this trip to Europe. The bar for “milder” is pretty low – living in the frigid Wisconsin Northscape.  So here I am watching the snow blowing hard in Hilversum, The Netherlands. I do feel right at home – cold and wet!

Joe Panettieri, Editorial Director of MSPmentor emerged from his New York snow cave today to announce the 3rd Annual MSPmentor 100 list. Check out these long time Nimsoft customers that made into the MSPmentor Top 10!

• LongView Systems:  #2
• CDW Hosting and Managed Services:  #4
• The Revere Group:  #9

Congratulations are in order and, of course, sincere thanks to LongView, CDW and Revere for being great NMS customers!

Irrational cloud exuberance is slowly morphing into boring, normalized risk adjusted business decision making. Market segmentation is well underway.  I am especially jacked up about the service providers that are staking out the high ground at the “enterprise ready” end of the market. Enterprise ready = standards based, secure, compliant and fully supported by human beings that can spell ITIL.  Bluelock and Enki are Nimsoft customers operating in the enterprise ready cloud segment. They are poised to deliver on high stakes cloud computing.

Customers want choice on the “really cheap” to “high value” cloud continuum and they are getting it. What does it mean?  More buying, less window shopping – the cloud opportunity rationalized and realized.
