You think you have a problem. You know you have a problem! Is it the real problem though? The problems we think we have and that we tend to spend most of our time solving are only going to take us so far. Instead what we need to do is to look at the problem behind the problem, to ask ourselves if we ignored this problem what problem behind that do we need to solve? Instead of asking your clients what they need, think about what they need that they don’t know they need. Look at the technology you are using today and ask yourself “If I had more storage, more bandwidth, more power and lower costs what would I do?” The great news for those of us that are willing to look at new problems is that we’ll see opportunities for growth and expansion. So where are you looking and what are you doing about it?
