Monday 2 January 2017

The dawn of a new year is always a time for reflection as well as looking ahead to what’s to come.

2016 was a busy and successful year for Metron.  We welcomed some new clients who were looking to implement or mature their Capacity Management processes and chose to rely on Metron’s expertise and software solutions to help make this happen. 

We also strengthened our relationships with other clients who recommitted to the idea that Capacity Management is a vital process that must be considered carefully -- even in an age of virtualization, cloud computing, and other newer technologies. 

We traveled to many places this past year – to a variety of industry events where we presented papers and exhibited our solutions and services.  In November, we helped sponsor CMG in La Jolla, CA – and we participated in a big way, delivering ten papers and two training sessions to folks who dedicated an entire week to become more knowledgeable about Capacity Planning and Performance Management.  

So let’s say goodbye and hello to two very important years in Metron’s history.  2016 marked the 30th anniversary of Metron Technology in the UK – started as a consultancy in 1986 and dedicated to Capacity Management ever since.  2017 will be the 15th anniversary of Metron-Athene, Inc. in the United States, providing direct sales and support to North America.  Between the two offices and our worldwide partners, Metron plans to continue to provide Capacity Management software, services, and education well into the future all over the world. 

As far as the changing landscape of IT, Metron is well-positioned to help you manage it – we’ve been here before.  From the advent of Unix, Windows, VMware, SAN storage, Cloud Computing, Big Data, and many other then-new areas of importance, Metron has been there to guide organizations in making the best IT decisions possible in times that seemed different and unsure. 

2017 will prove to be an exciting year.  We’ll be providing monthly webinars on a variety of important topics, regular workshops on general Capacity Management topics, delivering papers at shows all over the US, UK, and the world, and most importantly working hard to ensure that our Capacity Management solutions continue to be well-equipped to support our clients, old and new, to the ever-changing IT landscape. 

I’m ready to fasten my seatbelt and start the journey.  I hope you are too – please join me.
