The year in blogging on the Chemical Industry

I didn't realize it until today, but last week marked the 1-year anniversary of this chemical blog.  We launched our focus in the chemical vertical last year, and I believe we've made a lot of progress building relationships and sharing our story on how Microsoft and our partners can help our chemical customers be even more successful.

So, what will be new this year?  Last year, I spent a lot of time sharing case studies and conference information.  I will continue to do that, because the feedback has been positive.

I will add to that more discussion about our solution area focus and what we are bringing to market.  I talked some about that last year, but will probably dig in even deeper.

If you have things you would like to see here, let me know.

Thank you to everyone who follows this blog, it should be another fun year for the chemical industry.  Seeing the news on Dow Chemical buying Rohm and Haas and Ashland buying Hercules was not surprising, but it was certainly striking.  The chemical industry remains vibrant and strong, and everyone is continuing to evolve for a competitive advantage.
