I have updated the post with your suggested wording and it is definitely an improvement! Thanks for the help. Eoin,

Tom, you disappoint me with this, and all the more so becuase you don't usually disappoint me in your prose. To much tech-speak is simply reheated cliché and recycled management jargon, and the great stength of your blog is that you usually manage to avoid it. But "going forward" is the worst kind of jargonistic cliché - jargon because it is a management coinage; clichéd because it is an overused phrase; and the worst kind because it is egregiously meaningless gibberish masquerading as English. From now on, why not use "from now on" instead? “going forward”?! Tom, you disappoint me with this, and all the more so becuase you don’t usually disappoint me in your prose.
