I approach writing for technology companies more or less the same way I always approached writing about technologies and technology companies as a journalist: I look for a great story. Often, the best stories are case studies, where the hero is not the product but the organization that uses technology intelligently to achieve business results. Or maybe you want to a broader story about how your technology addresses a challenge faced by many of your customers — a feature story with multiple examples supporting a common theme. I can help you there, too.
The best stories are authentic, based on the real value you deliver to your customers. My job is to help you articulate that value — vividly and convincingly. To do my job right, I still ask tough questions that the readers will want answered. The difference is I can work with you to brainstorm the right answers.
Areas of subject matter expertise include the IT and CIO strategy issues for healthcare, government, and higher education, as well as social business, social CRM, social collaboration, and the latest concepts in digital business. However, my most valued skill is versatility and the ability to come up to speed quickly on any topic.
In addition to writing, I’m available as a speaker and moderator for live events, webcasts, or podcasts. On many projects, I work as a team with my wife, writer and editor Beth Anne Carr, meaning that the work we turn in has already gone through a preliminary copy edit. We can also provide services such as desktop publishing and WordPress website customization.
Below are some examples of recent projects. — David F. Carr, david@carrcommunications.com
