I’ve known Michael Uzquiano, Cloud CMS CTO, and Malcolm Teasdale, Cloud CMS CEO, for at least a decade, so it’s been fun to watch as Cloud CMS has matured over the years.

As a Cloud CMS partner, I often talk to them about issues or ideas related to projects I’m doing for clients with Cloud CMS. Over the years we’ve occassionally found time to chat about more strategic topics. Both the tactical and strategic conversations have been valuable for both sides, but they were definitely ad hoc.

Recently, Malcolm asked if I’d be up for making those conversations more regular and potentially a bit deeper by making me part of the advisory team. Liking both the people and the tech, this sounded like a great idea to me.

Nothing changes for my clients or my company, Metaversant Group, other than the additional insight I might gain from discussions with the Cloud CMS team.

As far as this blog goes, I’ll continue to write about Cloud CMS and others in this space as I’ve done in the past, on topics that interest me. My friends at Cloud CMS might help inform me on technical details for Cloud CMS-related posts, but they won’t be making any editorial decisions. I know my readers value my transparency and openness and that will continue.

I think de-coupled content management is just starting to hit its stride and I’ve enjoyed working with Cloud CMS thus far. I’m definitely looking forward to continuing the discussions with the Cloud CMS crew about company and product direction.
