Author of InfoWorld's Enterprise Microsoft blog, Simon Bisson prefers to think of “career” as a verb rather than a noun, having worked in academic and telecoms research, as well as having been the CTO of a startup, running the technical side of UK Online (the first national ISP with content as well as connections), before moving into consultancy and technology strategy. He’s built plenty of large-scale web applications, designed architectures for multi-terabyte online image stores, implemented B2B information hubs, and come up with next generation mobile network architectures and knowledge management solutions. In between doing all that, he’s been a freelance journalist since the early days of the web and writes about everything from enterprise architecture down to gadgets. He is the author of Azure AI Services at Scale for Cloud, Mobile, and Edge: Building Intelligent Apps with Azure Cognitive Services and Machine Learning.
