Thank You for Your Time……
Good morning everyone from a dark and raining Redmond, USA. My name is Jeff Wettlaufer and I am excited to join you here on the ‘Because It’s Everybody’s Business’ blog.
Like many of you, I have been in the IT industry for a number of years, and have enjoyed a passion for technology throughout. I have been with Microsoft for about 10 years, both in the UK and here in Redmond. My time in Redmond has mostly been in the System Center team (~4 years now) where we produce a powerful collection of configuration and performance management tools. It has been an incredible 4 years being a part of a product group that is growing like the System Center business. It is even more exciting to look ahead at the stuff in the pipes. The short term ahead of us is jammed with new market shaping capabilities across a number of areas that are especially important to you.
You guys have a lot on your plate. Your success is measured in ways that even a few years ago did not exist. As you strive to do more with less, centralizing your workflows, management technologies, admin consoles, investigating virtualization and improving workload strategies have all become massive accelerators to saving you cost – direct and indirect. I want to help you do that.
Our team has been active on the ‘social networking’ scene for a few years, and personally I have been blogging for both work and family for quite a while. If you haven’t seen our System Center team blog yet, check us out here, it’s a very active blog, with a lot of passionate contributors.
I am really pleased to be given a chance to connect with you here on this blog, and I am really looking forward to sharing news, updates and stories about our management and security division through the BIEB site. I hope you find my contributions valuable. If there is some topic or capability you would like me to dive on, let me know. This site is for you guys, its your valuable time you are spending reading our posts, and I want to make sure you find it worthwhile.
I don't want to assume anything, you guys know your business, your challenges, and where your pain points are. Let’s work together on helping you succeed, grow, gain agility and streamline your costs.
Thank you for your time.

Sr. Technical Product Manager
