According to one of our motor cycling enthusiast software developers, the majority of Harley Davidson owners are likely to be 45-year-old accountants from Ann Arbor, Michigan. In fact, a minute on Google brings up the stat that the majority of motorcycle owners are on average 41 years old, and earn $77,714 in annual household income.

The reason these ‘unlikely’ Harley Davidson owners give is that nothing beats riding down the highway, on a warm sunny day with no fixed timetable and no place to be… It is controlled risk, a type of safe rebellion.

I believe it has similar parallels to why our customers look to invest in RiverMuse, a new entrant in an established industry. Just like the Harley Davidson owners, our customers are taking a controlled risk; the software is not a decade old, but this is where safe rebellion has its advantages. With RiverMuse you are acquiring new functionality that you cannot get from existing players, technology that is modern and meets the needs of datacenter and network operations today.

And as a customer of a new entrant into the industry, you are able to exert a stronger influence on the future direction of the RiverMuse technology, so as to assist in developing functionality that you need for your network, datacenter or cloud implementations.

Another advantage of safe rebellion is that you avoid that feeling of being a ‘small fish in a big pond’ mentality you get from the legacy IT event and fault management companies. Aided by the simplicity of its platform, RiverMuse offers a new layer of interactivity with a downloadable “try and buy” model. And we are more responsive to your needs and ready to ride the extra mile to make things work for you.

Controlled risk in new entrants such as RiverMuse brings the advantage of being seen to be close to the leading edge of technology. You are technically investing in the future of IT.

According to those Harley owners, a Harley is not just transport; it is a legend and a way of life. So in the workplace, join us in bringing safe rebellion to the IT operations management industry, and creating another legend.
