He has also had responsibilities in strategic planning, international marketing and program management with a major computer vendor. Throughout his experience with technology users, from large organizations to small businesses, there is always a challenge to choose the level of effort and sophistication applications need. Whether the choice be of forecasting methodology, the commitment of resources to ad hoc questions and reports, or the aesthetic look of a web site, users have to make decisions. With the huge increase of non-technical users as the Internet and other online technologies grow, communication and the emergence of techniques and methodologies that improve communication between message senders and message receivers is emerging as a new area.
