Acquisition News – Cloud Sherpas Broadens the Franchise and Moves Into ITSM

By Ben Kepes on January 16, 2013

I’ve been covering  Cloud Sherpas since its inception – I’m particularly interested in this new breed of services brokerage that is proving successful despite deriving its revenue from a small sliver of a very small annual charge – this in comparison to the traditional on-premise world where companies enjoyed massive consulting fees for implementation project [...]

CloudSherpas–$40M in Funding and Another Aquisition

CloudSherpas–$40M in Funding and Another Aquisition

By Ben Kepes on December 20, 2012

More on the IT Business Boiling Point

More on the IT Business Boiling Point

By Ben Kepes on April 19, 2012

ver the last few days I’ve been talking to people about the tension that exists between “traditional” and “next generation” software platforms. The discussions had their genesis in a post I wrote specifically looking at NetSuite and Oracle, but relate to a host of other vendors – Microsoft contrasted with Box.

Software is Roadkill

Software is Roadkill

By John Taschek on November 24, 2010

The fastest way to become roadkill to venture capitalists is to become a software company. Software may not be inherently evil (it has created wealth for many people that is in proportion to the pain it has provided to many customers). Software and specifically on-premise enterprise software, however, is clearly…

Myopia and Entropy – IT’s Great Escape

By John Taschek on October 27, 2010

Driving a car, riding a motorcycle, walking into glass windows, and information technology have one thing in common.
