He also acts as an e-consultant to a number of large organizations, including banks, software businesses and publishing companies. Apart from being CEO of Bloor Research, the leading IT analysis organization in Europe, Robin Bloor is also an author and publisher of a series of industry reports on corporate computer strategy including the bestselling The Enterprise by Other Means.
