Accelrys Pipeline Pilot Enterprise Server (PPES) is growing in usage within many scientific focused businesses.  I won’t go into all of the great things our product can do.  However, I am VERY focused on ensuring that we provide the right content, product updates, and tools to enable IT Professionals (ITPro) to plan, deploy, operation, and support PPES within their corporate environment.  Often times users and teams leverage PPES within their department to quickly analyze data and build interesting applications AND enable that data to be viewed and interacted with across the organization.  More importantly, it allows that data to get OUT of the lab and into the business (which could also be another lab or researcher somewhere).  With this kind of business impact, PPES typically moves beyond the department IT and moves to Corporate IT.  With that transition comes lots of questions and demand for more Enterprise IT capabilities.  This is where I come and my desire to build an ITPro community for PPES.

In the coming months, I’ll be working on building a community focused on ITpros so that I can better communicate and listen to feedback.  As you can tell, by reading this blog, I like social networking technologies like blogging, using twittter, and participating in a number of forums.  I’m hoping we can get a new ITPro section deployed on an Accelrys hosted forum, begin having a monthly ITPro update webcast, and whatever else the community (YOU) suggests.

If you’d like to participate, want to start giving me feedback (content, feature requests, etc.), or just want to say hello, please shoot me an email: cagramont (-A-T-) accelrys (-dot-) com  (sorry for the ugly email link….trying to prevent spam)
