IS Online is primarily a consulting business run by Dave Abraham, enabling the success and efficiency of SMEs through effective use of IT. 

 

It is also a way of life - I do not achieve much on my own, my success is almost always part of a wider team's success.  Since 1994 I have worked with visionary leaders helping businesses "get online", including through IS Online founded in 1997 to deliver ecommerce-enabled websites, through Signify from 2000 to successfully selling in 2013. Since then I have helped a range of businesses as a consultant, Virtual CIO, and when appropriate, as a team and business leader.  My background is here, if you're interested.

​​

My wife and children, and my colleagues at various businesses, are key elements of my success and the success of the teams that I work with.  I and my colleagues aim to enable the success of as many people as possible, by enabling the success of everyone within each team.

Although I am willing to take responsibility when necessary, I aim to be as "lazy as possible", by encouraging other people to create a vision for themselves, and learn and take on tasks themselves to deliver on that vision.  

​

Each team that I work with, I aim to help become a "Smooth running engine", so that I don't need to be involved day to day.  My inspiration is the straight 6 engine from the BMW M535i that I owned in the '90s, and wish I still had!  Smooth, powerful, and reliable, for 180,000 miles.
