Weeeew - Its been an interesting year!

So where do I start?

First, 2009 had a terrible start for Venturality and the country. I was considering my options and I wasn't sure if "janitor" was something that I wanted to add to the resume. So we kept at it.

With a not-so-sane determination, projects and opportunities started coming back in the May/June timeframe. While there are still economic and employment issues, Venturality is positioned to realize a rebounding economy in its early stages. (I say "positioned" because I hate to use the word "lucky" - luck is winning the lottery)

Many of our new projects are web development focused - less "managed services" needs. "Managed Services" has a very strong undertone of IT infrustructure - and less web development. I have stretched the definition to "a company that provides managed/outsourced end-to-end web technology solutions". (thats a mouthful) Venturality does great web development - scalable, performance enabled web sites. However, Venturality also knows how to host the development, testing and production environments very well.

So I pose this question - is it confusing to clients to be really good two different technology focuses? Development and hosting may seem disparate, but we provide the best client experience when control all aspects of the project.

I would love some feedback :)

With that said - I wish for 2010 to be a great year for everyone!
