ThinkingString is an independent research and advisory service that bridges the gaps between information technology and the businesses it serves. ThinkingString can provide big picture thinking, expert advice and pragmatic (reality based) commentary that look to the future of information technology and its application to business. ThinkingString provides strategically valuable advice to both solution vendors and solution buyers in the following areas:

Logical and physical security convergence
ThinkingString is examining closely the facts behind anthropogenic climate change, constraints on energy supply, and specifically the implications to business and society of the changes necessary to prevent catastrophic climate change. We are able to provide strategic, facts-based thinking on this vital area. We are currently researching not only tactical (or so called "GreenIT") responses, but also strategic "transitional" solutions that support a transformational business/social model. ThinkingString's ideas and observations in this area have been praised by experts in oil industry, and the technology industry.
