 <description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the shout out. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the end of the day, good IT management is good IT management, but we do focus quite a bit on the web operations perspective.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part of the reason is that web operations is the world that Alex and I live in on a daily basis (via ControlTier... helping e-commerce and SaaS companies improve the efficiency and reliability of their operations). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The other part of the reason is that we see web operations as the canary in the coal mine (to stretch the metaphor somewhat) for IT operations. Put it this way, you&#039;re the CEO of a Fortune 100 company making aircraft engines... improving the efficiency and reliability of your IT operations is around #32 on the top 50 things you worry about every day. If you are the CEO of an online company whose entire revenue comes from what you can generate through your website, suddenly it jumps to the top of the list (or at least near the top of the list).&lt;/p&gt;
