Welcome to my Blog

by Brian Burke  |  March 10, 2009  |  Comments Off

After much trepidation, I’ve started this blog and with it I’ve created Yet Another Communication Channel (YACC) in addition to the three telephones, two e-mails, personal website, Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In and various other communication channels that I maintain. Given the number of electronic channels we may never meet face to face, but if we do you’ll recognize me from this picture.

I am an analyst in Gartner’s enterprise architecture group, and I’ve been doing this for a little over 10 years originally with META Group before moving to Gartner with the acquisition a few years ago.  Before working as an analyst, I was a chief architect at an insurance company in Toronto have had a varied career in IT over the past 23 years.

I live in Andorra but I spend summers in Sitges in Spain.  I’ve been working from a home office for the past 15 years, and living in Andorra pushes the envelope in terms of remote working.  For those of you who are not familiar with Andorra, it is a tiny principality in the Pyrenees Mountains between Spain and France.  While I certainly will be blogging about enterprise architecture, I will also touch upon the challenges of remote working along with the economy, politics, travel and other topics.
