I will be presenting on Software-as-a-Service as a greener alternative to running dozens of e-mail support servers at the VXExplore VirtualizeIT Roadshow in Douglas on the Isle of Man on the 13 May 2008.

Details can be obtained from the organiser’s Website.

My role within Mimecast will be changing as from today.

Until now I have been the Product Manager for Mimecast’s unified email management service, but I have been spending more and more time on the Product Marketing aspects of the job - giving briefings to the press and analysts; working on copy for the marketing department and fulfilling speaker slots at trade shows.

With Mimecast’s rapid 300% year-on-year growth it is impossible to keep up this level of engagement and also still remain an effective Product Manager so the CEO and CTO have created the position of Chief Product Evangelist which will allow me to focus my efforts in shaping, understanding and communicating the value of the Mimecast service to internal staff, channel partners, customers and prospects.
