Hi, this is the website to support my book on Configuration Management Best Practices. We also provide consulting services to help you implement all of the CM Best Practices described in our book. CM Best Practices Book

Writing any technology book is very challenging because the landscape changes even before the book is off the printer. This website will help elaborate on the key concepts in the book. I hope to hear from you soon!

You can also contact me directly to discuss how our consulting services can help you implement Configuration Management Best Practices or if you would like to join our network of tools and process agnostic CM gurus.

Writing for me is a team sport, so please link with me on linkedin and do drop me a line (again my email address is posted on linkedin) to let me know what you liked most about my book and where I can improve to help you successfully implement Configuration Management Best Practices!

Oh and if you were just about to buy a copy for a colleague then send me a note and I will give you a code for a 35% discount on the print or online copies (via InformIT). I am also glad to make arrangements to give you a signed copy from my own supply at a cost of $30 a book plus postage. I am also available for training and consulting services (more on that soon).
