There is no uncertainty in my mind that the investment dispensed into Merseyside has served to successfully relocate the business community into modern, more suitable surroundings. In fact, Merseyside can proudly boast that’s its commercial communications systems are amongst the most contemporary in Europe.

My doubt and hesitation lies with the underlying ICT support and guidance infrastructure. You could point your finger at half a dozen government funded agencies and pose the question “Are you taking full responsibility of the IT revolution in this city?” No doubt a quivering lip might say “We’re waiting for guidelines from head office” ~ Pathetic.

So who really is going to lead this city onto the ICT highway? Most businesses have been told they need data cabling to ‘get online’, I would hazard a guess that Merseyside is the worlds leading supplier of office cabling. Don’t get me wrong, it’s true to say that it’s an important step to a successful future. The problem is guiding businesses and entrepreneurs on how to unlock the potential that can be found in all this cabling.

Merseyside needs guidance. Merseyside needs to now invest in e-Consultancy services, web businesses and technology experts. Some one needs to help this city take the web by the scruff of the neck and put a large Merseyside flag on it. Merseyside might well have excellent road, rail, sea and aircraft routes in and out, but at the moment it’s simply a dead end on the web.
