Business Quest

Welcome to everyday adventures in my business life, including thoughts and feelings about a world within which all things are connected. This QUEST is a JOURNEY to share knowledge, a JUNKET to share enjoyment, and often times simply an OUTING among old friends and new acquaintances.

To Myers-Briggs I'm an INTJ on the cusp of an E. A war-orphan, I was raised an only child by my mother. Born into a family of engineers and inventors, I naturally gravitated to engineering; model railroading at age 5. By the time I left high school the railroad was well automated (back when mechanical relays and vacuum tubes prevailed.) Home was Gary, Indiana and while attending Purdue University I majored in Electrical Engineering, worked part-time and summers as a motor inspector at the Inland Steel 80" Hot Strip, where I found the air conditioning requirement of early automation equipment to be personally beneficial. I joined the DuPont Corporation as a Design Engineer and moved to Waynesboro, VA. (where in 1969 I automated the 1929 Acetate Chemical process using a Digital Equipment PDP 8E computer supervising five PDP14 industrial controllers -- the computer was programmed using a Teletype machine and paper tape!) I also had the pleasure of an assignment in Londonderry NI in 1973 followed by a move to Charleston, SC in 1976 to construct a fully automated polyester fiber facility (complete with industrial robots). But enough about me...

Great Questions!

I can tell you're heavily into our project by the strength of the questions I'm receiving. They are very thought provoking and are really helping me to better define our business and our business direction. Keep 'em coming.

The question about market growth compelled some additional research and reminded me of the (very expensive, but very telling) CCTV market reports produced by J.P. Freeman Co. You may wish to scan his on-line table of contents for some additional insight, and perhaps introduce yourself to Mr. Freeman as an interested student engaged in a CCTV marketing project and ask him some questions directly.

A wealth of related material is available. Just copy 2005+"video surveillance market" and paste into Google. Enjoy!

I can budget $10,000 during 2006 for physical development, exclusive of hosting, server and maintenance costs. I would like to see a plan that envisions a complete site but with the structure rolled-out incrementally according to the perceived business value. The idea is to build the complete puzzle, placing the most important pieces into position first.
