…a couple of years ago when I was working on early prototypes of our SharePoint management products my employer probably didn’t want posts about that to appear in the blogosphere.

And I thought: Okay, but I am working on these products now, so I can post about them! But I didn’t.

Then it was right after Joel Oleson’s passionate call to Join the SharePoint Blogging Revolution when I almost wrote my first post, but… Hmm, probably something else caught my attention… Anyway, I didn’t write it then. But I want to say thank you to Joel for that post. It is still one of the main reasons why I finally start blogging.

Soon I moved from R&D to become Product Manager here at Quest. This new role keeps me quite busy, and this summer I’ve been traveling much more than usual: meeting customers, partners, and Quest staff in different countries. And the exciting part of this job is I can now see much more SharePoint environments and talk to lots of great people about how they manage them. And – of course – share this experience along with my thoughts in this blog! So, it is never too late, right?

As you might guess, I am very curious about different aspects of SharePoint management, especially backup and recovery. So far I think these will be the primary topics of this blog, but let’s just start and see how it goes.
