Jeff Morgan

Lead Product Marketing Manager, AT&T

Jeff Morgan is your classic Renaissance man. He is well versed in many areas. He demonstrates this by blending his interest in computer programming (JavaScript, Objective C, Visual Basic, PHP, Perl and others), love of the English language (he was an English teacher) and his love of technology into blogging.

Jeff has worked with AT&T for 11 years and is currently a Lead Product Marketing Manager. Even as we spoke, he was working on a new Cloud-based product that will bring solutions to customers. He has devoted much of his professional career to helping customers find the right solution for their unique needs. This “find the best solution” attitude comes through in his writing for our Networking Exchange Blog.

Did I mention that Jeff loves technology? Well, he certainly does and he loves his iPad most. He uses it for reading and a number of activities. It is particularly good for him at home allowing him to get work done from his office in the basement as well as upstairs. Because of the enabling power of mobility, he is able to work from just about anywhere!

Jeff Morgan is sure to bring some delightful posts here on the Blog. We welcome him aboard and look forward to the wonderful reading adventures we’ll be able to experience from this Renaissance man.

“I don’t know what good art is, but I know it when I see it.” It’s the same challenge when describing what an application is to your mother or someone used to thirty years of the PC. Today things are further complicated by a plethora of new devices. Is...

Fog Ahead: Getting To Clarity With Cloud

April 26, 2013
Jeff Morgan

In a recent Infoworld article, Matt Prigge brought up a host of valid points about the way we market the cloud. Is it a disservice to the small business owner without an IT staff to overly simplify the concepts behind our wares? Surely it sells an account, but at what cost? I’m forever walking the line between too much detail and not enough, but what if the vendor doesn’t actually provide the service as promised? What if, in spite of...

4 Ways To Avoid Being Foolish About Cloud

April Fool’s Day comes but once a year, but you might think it comes once or twice a week if you’re struggling over the promise and disappointment of SaaS apps and the cloud in general. As far back as the days of Chaucer, we’ve celebrated the day where no news topic is sacred, no personal space is private, and no...

Rogue Clouds: Your New Frenemy

March 15, 2013
Jeff Morgan

A frenemy is someone who is both a friend and an enemy, and we all know one of those. They do good work and contribute to the success of the company, but you wouldn’t take a vacation with them. Cloud services are kind of like that to IT departments. Cloud services possess the ability to speed development and deployment while saving thousands of dollars. What a great friend! But the downsides make it hard to spend much time...

The pitch Charlie Brown returned to that pitching mound year after year, looking for the elusive summer victory. He asked his team to have faith, see its potential, and no matter what never give in to despair no matter how long the odds. While victory eluded the Peanuts gang every summer, the competition for Big Data is ripe for a winner....

Scanning for a Sign

Recently, Gizmodo, the popular gadget blog, took 2D Barcodes to task; although apart from the salacious headline, it turned out to be a decent breakdown of the technology and its history. The author of the article, Andrew Tarantola, seems to think these mysterious-looking codes are a missed opportunity for many marketers to connect with their customers....

The 4 Things SaaS Will Fix Today

December 11, 2012
Jeff Morgan

I start every day the same; I rise at 5:00 AM, make coffee, and retire to my office for exercise and meditation. It prepares me for the challenges of the day and sets my mood to 11 out of 10. But no matter how hard I prepare, I can’t affect the road ahead of me. As I sit in morning traffic watching people host conference calls, text coworkers, or email clients I wonder if we’re all struggling with the same issues....

Paradise Lost? An IT Perspective On The Bookstore Model

November 9, 2012
Jeff Morgan

Once upon a time you could walk into any major bookstore and find a copy of your favorite classic novel, but alas, no more. Calendars and writing journals command more and more shelf space, leaving a shrinking space for the poor, beleaguered book. I don’t know if you noticed, but the bookstore as we knew it died last year.All hail the revered book store! We knew your time was coming, but we were busy drinking our lattes while...
