As Sam blogs today, the product we have worked on for the last 10 months is going public. That product is: bcgi Mobile Guardian™. Mobile Guardian is a first-ever solution that gives carriers the ability to provide businesses and families the real-time, Web-based controls they need to manage wireless phone usage and expense among single or multiple users. Recently, it was featured in a Yahoo press release.
As Sam said:
I have worked with a unique and talented team, including Robert to deliver three versions of the product (1.0, 1.1 and 2.0) in a 10 month time frame. Please either come see the world debut of the product at the CTIA show or look for the press coverage. I obviously cannot give technical details of the architecture other than to note that 2.0 is completely based on the .NET platform, written in C#, and utilizes advanced distributed features of .NET, presenting a visually appealing web experience for users through ASP.NET Web pages. Look for it at your carrier this year.
It's been a long journey, but as Sam mentions, this has been an excellent team. I personally haven't grown more professionally anywhere else than I have working with this team.
Along with that exciting news is some sad news for our team. Sam has finished his architecture and development work here and will be moving on to provide his expertise to other clients. Speaking for myself, its been a pleasure working with Sam. Sam has exhibited technical excellence, leadership, and insight to our team. I have learned much from him and owe him a great deal. He got me to start blogging, speaking at user groups, and interested in writing. Plus, working with Sam has been rewarding, as he definitely knows .Net inside and out. For all of these things, I am forever grateful.
Good luck Sam! I know you will be a great benefit to any team you work with next.
