Funny how technology companies often aren’t the first ones to embrace new technology… Well, better late than never, right? With corporate blogging seeming to be the one thing people are talking about these days (other than the economy), now seemed like the perfect time to launch WESTBLOG, Westbury’s first official blog.

We’re hoping to achieve a few things with WESTBLOG, although our aims will no doubt shift once we get going. Firstly we want to get nice and cosy with our customers. All too often we feel like we’re a faceless corporation that shows up once a year ask for support dues, and that’s not the way it should be, especially in an industry as small and connected as ITSM. We’re not simply a software vendor, we’re gurus of ITSM reporting – at least, that’s what we like to think.

Secondly we want to get people excited about the things that excite us – whether that’s things we’re doing here, or things going on at HP, or something happening in the big wide world of ITSM and ITIL, or whether that’s just the thrilling race for automatic promotion from England’s Coca-Cola League Two (COME ON YOU SHAKERS!).

Thirdly we want to impress chicks at parties by telling them we have a blog.

OK, so that third one was was a lie. We wouldn’t want to be associated with anyone who would be impressed by blog ownership. But the first two are very true, and in order to get cracking on the second objective:

We have a new product demo video out! Released this very day onto the Viddler airwaves is the video for Change Calendar, hosted by the best looking employee in the Westbury organization (I know, big fish in a very very small pond). Check it out:

Right now the plan is to have a bunch of different people contribute to WESTBLOG, so we heartily suggest you subscribe to the RSS feed (works really well in Outlook 2007) and keep up to date every time there’s a new post.

Until next time,
Tom
