Good day to you,

Over the years the network has been an avenue of resources and support and a channel in the right directions and connectivity to/with the needed people, processes and technology for all. During this time we have helped people across all industries, verticals, markets, segments and people all in the name of elevating the levels of education, awareness and visibility of and about Technology and IT Security through sales, services and support.

Whether it is by providing employment opportunities, job placement, funding opportunities, technical support/resources, networking, event hosting and collaboration, we have been there as best as we can, in all that we can. Now the network embarks on its final stages of convergence and integrating all these services, values, resources and opportunities into a new operational model, a social network, the support wanes heavily. The same people that we have been there for, connected with, shared resources or positioned in employment opportunities with were reached out to with a call for support of the new network initiative and it has received a very weak and somewhat daunting and disregard feedback and response.

Some people who have not yet answered to the call are still seeking support and assistance in various ways. They still look to the network for guidance, collaboration and support but do not see the piece where they fit into the mix and help to build on things by joining and being an active member. Yet, unchecked, the network must still provide the quality of services and support as it does by its very existence as we stand by our motto,

We are Security – your Security – our Security – IT Security. Our Security is Safe and Secure.

How do we expect to build on this without the support of the people and the values they bring to the network?

The network was built as a converged resource of everything about us, what we do, how we work, the people we associate, communicate and work with and the vendors, manufacturers and developers that we sell, service and support their products and solutions. We needed a central resource that would bring everyone and everything together and allow group discussions, networking, collaborating, exclusive promotions and the ability to grow together. While the network is ever changing and enhancing itself to be all that it can be and more, the needs from our members is also growing and so to create the perfect balance, the network needs the active support of its members and people.

So the next time you think about something you need from the network, ask yourself,

What am I able to do for the network and what would the network require of me to help make it better?

Let’s all work together for the betterment of this valuable resource so that we call can benefit from it in as many ways as possible. While you will forward jokes and other non trivial things to your peers, family and friends, how about sending them an invite so they too can come in and join in the initiative.

I am the network and the network is me. I am an extension of the resources and value it brings and so I must conduct and present myself accordingly.

Thank you and have a great day,
