About PubPoint
A home for work that has to hold up.
PubPoint is the independent publishing home for the research and analysis of Michael K. Saleme. Its publications translate emerging technical changes into clear architectural, operational, and executive implications.
Origin
A name with a history.
PubPoint emerged during the early enterprise-web era as a Houston-developed content-management platform. Archived materials document the platform and its enterprise use, while federal trademark records report commercial use beginning in 1999. Today, PubPoint has been renewed as an independent publishing home for research on consequential systems.
