Cliff Hobbs is a UK-based systems management consultant who specialises in the various systems management tools covered by his website FAQShop.com such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) and Systems Management Server (SMS).Having worked with SMS since 1998 Cliff has gained extensive experience of designing, deploying, and supporting large enterprise-wide systems management solutions on behalf of companies such as EDS, 1E and Getronics.In recognition of his contribution to the Systems Management community Microsoft awarded Cliff the Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for SMS in January 2004 which has been re-awarded in all subsequent years.Having grown up with the PC from the days of the IBM AT and PC-DOS 3.3, he has an extensive knowledge of several operating systems and applications gained through his present and past employment with companies such as EDS, Du Pont, Abbey National and Getronics, amongst others.The prime goal of FAQShop.com is to help people use Systems Management technology to make their lives easier - not for technology to control their lives which is reflected in this site's mission statement:
'Ensuring you get the best of IT'.
Those of you who have been following my blog (thank you), will see that I try to blog as much on the System Center suite and other topics that interest me and that I think will be of interest to you. However, the problem I’ve had for sometime is with the sheer volume of content “out there” and an ever growing “wishlist” I need to work smarter not harder.
This was one of the key drivers for me creating the FAQShop Twitter feed to basically capture and summarise this vast amount of information in one place for us all. The thing I really like about Twitter is because of it’s 140 character limit the posts are kept bite-sized plus Twitter offers a RSS feed for each account so you can sign up to one feed and literally get a wealth of information without having to ever look at Twitter.
ConfigMgr has always been (and will always be I hope), my passion. So from now on I’ll be limiting my blog posts just to ConfigMgr and ConfigMgr-related posts.
Please let me have your thoughts and comments on this as after all if I think I’m meeting your needs but failing then I’m not achieving what I’m setting out to.
BTW if you’re interested checkout FAQShop on Twitter at (no prizes for guessing) http://www.twitter.com/faqshop. I also have my own personal account (cliffhobbs) which feeds into the FAQShop one.
