A message from Simon Fowler - Founder of 2DeCipher

As of January 2012, this is a brand new website which I hope you will find valuable.

Having worked in the IT Industry for over 15 years, I am still amazed by the rate of change as new technology emerges. However, if you look under the covers, there are also some constants. The first is that the fundamental role of information technology is to enable businesses - to do business. Whether you are in a commercial or public sector environment - this remains true.

The second constant is that the industry which supplies the technology is itself hungry to do business - to provide new IT to customers. In order to accelerate the consumption of technology there is a continuous cycle of refresh, of new technology and jargon, of finding and articulating better, smarter and faster ways of doing things. Some technologies, like server virtualisation, really have delivered on the promise. Others may not live up to the hype so well.


The purpose of this website is to embrace the way the IT industry works and critically - to help cut through some of the complexity and jargon which are its by-products.
