IS Online provides Virtual CIO, ICT Strategy, and EOS Integrator services.  Run by Dave Abraham (sometimes known as Dashboard Dave!), we are focused on enabling the success, efficiency, and resilience, of SMEs through effective use of IT. 

 

I've been lucky over the years. My success is almost always part of a wider team's success. I'm confident that I was a significant contributor to success, but I couldn't have done it on my own, without the right colleagues.  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.  Dave's background is here, if you're interested.

​​

My wife and step-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 delegating, coaching, mentoring, and enabling 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.
