Will SaaS kill ERP? No, but it should
It’s been a busy few days. First a post on ZDNet by Eric Lai invented a few problems for Cloud, or rather SaaS, and especially multi-tenancy: inflexible, less secure, less powerfull and maybe more costly – is what Eric claims multi-tenancy SaaS to be. Thomas Wailgum neatly nailed that via a counterpost, as did Frank [...]
Integration is the new Operation – this decade and next
I gave a presentation the other day that is a very short version of my Integration book. As usual, that forced me to compact thoughts and ideas, and craft a new visual – see above. I’ve used that already in a post the other day, but that didn’t pay proper attention to it I’m a [...]
The myth of standardisation
After reading the ERP paradox by Kailash Awati, I had that “Oh yes” feeling of recognition: someone was hitting the nail right on the head here. Standardisation is a myth, especially when you go global. There are two simple reasons for that: customer demand and business supply Ask a CEO what makes his business so [...]
Does Google get enterprise? No – so what?
After a small conversation with Frank Scavo – whom I hold highly – it struck me: we old enterprise boys that keep kicking the #socmed chins might be on our way to retirement. Not saying that Frank’s one of them, but I certainly count myself to the pack as I’ve only been around multinationals and [...]
Social silos adding to enterprise silos? Not with proper Integration
Laurie Buzcek called out for Integration as a solution for the failure of Enterprise 2.0 and Social Business – which she equates to each other – and I couldn’t help but think of Tibbr when reading her post Dion Hinchcliffe responded with a post in which he also stresses the integration of social media with [...]
1.0, 2.0, 3.0 – Tibbr shows the way
For those who are familiar with me and my posts, you’ll now that I’m passionate about Integration. My Integration eBook, my posts – even though I cover a wide range of topics – all are about diversity, evolutionary growth and change, while standing with both feet on the ground and keeping a pragmatic view I [...]
Tibbr, the new OS. Integrating is the new Operating.
I just watched the live feed of Tibbr’s 3.0 launch. It was impressive and even more so than the 1.0 launch I attended live in February – although that was a revelation, and revolution too Back a dozen years or so, Larry Ellison dreamed about the network PC as replacing Microsoft’s Operating System (OS) – [...]
Problem prevention knows no funding
A major topic on Twitter for me this week was that of problem prevention. We all know error handling, error solving, creating workarounds or solutions for them, but “A stitch in time saves nine” is a debatable issue in ICT Or is it? It all started with a tweet from Jamie Oswald: IT’s biggest problem [...]
How often does your company plant get repotted?
Yesterday, I was watching my wife repot a few plants. Actually, quite a few of them. What did she do? She took the plants out of their pots, and put them into bigger pots, adding fresh compost I watched that for a while, busy with with other things, and the thought came to mind: Wife [...]
Big Twother is watching you
…so said Tamsen McMahon on April 7th. Funny as it is, there’s a typo in the tweet – did or can you spot it? I did, and couldn’t resist: It’s “its” and not “it’s” > RT @tamadear: (…) your impression of a company and it’s representatives. To wit, typos on presentation slides. Caught in the [...]
Wirearchy – preferred by entrepreneurs
A good while ago Jon Husband introduced me to the concept of Wirearchy. With the benefit of hindsight, Wirearchy is an (emerging) organizing principle for this new environment in which interconnected networks of people carry out the full range of human activities, …. commerce, work, research, education, gossip, news. was a well-chosen description of [...]
