I enjoyed my conversations with Tom Berquist, CFO, Ingres corporation, when I got the chance to speak to him in the valley last october. Tom has a wonderful perspective about the consulting, services firms and the financial analyst community.I was also pleasently surprised when he spoke about his contacts in the asia pacific markets as well - several of them happened to be known to me as well. Very few western executives develop such lasting contacts in the asia pacific region. He now sees a new trend of convergence of two disruptive forces. I particularly like the way Tom has captured the rationale behind the rise of the offshore service firms. Also read my earlier note on the comeback of Ingres.
