Even though we have published 123 posts so far this year, we simply don’t have the time to cover every significant AWS launch.

I first told you about Amazon Chime this past February (Amazon Chime – Unified Communications Service) and told you how I connect and collaborate with people all over the world.

In my initial post (Amazon WorkMail – Managed Email and […]

I have become a devoted user of Amazon WorkDocs. I draft my blog posts (including this one) and then use WorkDocs to route them to the appropriate people and teams for review and translation. On an average day I probably upload new versions of 4 or 5 draft blog posts and review and respond to […]
