A very pleasant surprise when perusing the IBM UK site today:

This is terrific – recognised IBM experts being put front and centre on the site!  

It has been well publicised that IBM UK has lost some key individuals over the past year or so.  However, folks like Steve, Jon, Ports, Ofer and Andy are well known in the community, excellent speakers and are terrific advocates for their brands and products.  The next step is that they need to be better known by customers, analysts, journalists and the wider public.  Putting them on the IBM site at a national level is a real step forward.  Well done!
