Web Technology
The Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 and went public in 1991.
It has been re-inventing itself ever since.
The Web is a ubiquitous multi-channel kaleidoscope of technology. A presence on the Web is widely accepted as an essential part of every business, big or small. For many, achieving a presence can mean one of two things: outsource or build a Web team. Which to choose? Are these really the only choices? If embracing the Web is a commercial inevitability, the next step can make or break the business.

Background information
In 1993 Rotan was using an early Web browser called NCSA Mosaic as a means of sharing research documents and other learning material. As a senior lecturer in networking and distributed systems, the Web was the most exciting development to share with his students, as both a tool and a technology. That excitement was soon to be shared by the entire world.
Rotan was prototyping Internet-based digital services for a Norwegian telco, combining several networking technologies (inc. Web), in the late '90s shortly before the first Web-enabled mobile phones appeared on the market.
In his leadership role in a start-up during the early 2000s Rotan was involved in global standards work, initially with the WAP Forum and subsequently with the W3C, the body responsible for the development of the Web. There he was immersed in every manner of Web technology and took on several official roles within the organisation. He also contributed to major open source projects involving both server- and client-side technologies.
Rotan has been developing Web solutions and pushing the boundaries of the Web itself since it made its public debut.
