Innovation – today’s Golden Calf
This week I had a conversation about Innovation and IBM. Vijay Sankarav wrote a follow-up post on that as he was forced to “leave early” – this is my reply to that. I think the three of us usually agree pretty much on pretty much everything. And this was an awkward one really It all [...]
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 [...]
The SI is dead. Long live the Supplier Integrator
Have we reached peak SI is a splendid post by Peter Evans Greenwood about the changing IT world. On one side of the boxing ring there is the traditional system integrator, on the other side there is a multitude of change agents: Business taking back budget for IT spend from local IT On-demand and on-time [...]
Google extremely favours G+ in search
I’m not a very vain man, if at all, but every now and then I Google for “martijn linssen” to see what comes up. I only check the first page, and see how the order is for the first five: those should contain this blog (number one), my Twitter account and my LinkedIn account. Currently [...]
The lifecycle and stages of a social network
Thanks to Scott Berkun for triggering me here, and of course this was related to Google+: @drmstream there is a blog post waiting to be written about the lifecycle/stages of a social network. There is. And this is one. I don’t believe in having to behave differently on social networks. I believe that we all [...]
Apples and oranges: Socialcast and tibbr
The other day one of my commenters asked: What’s the difference between Socialcast and tibbr? I had a rough idea but not much of a clue, and decided to do a quick one. I commented back but there has been some considerable dustblowing going on, so I’ll repeat that here and elaborate on it Socialcast [...]
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) – [...]
Perfect business cases for Social Business
Thanks to Oscar Berg for writing his No business case for Social Business It’s a good post and all true, although very few social media fans agreed with it – probably because it doesn’t give them what they want. As darks is the opposite of light, bad the opposite of good, and so on, I [...]
The packages – customisation MQ
I got Rt’ed today on the #ITF11 hashtag: RT @MartijnLinssen: @johnrrymer @TomGrantForr There is no one-size-fits-all. Pure packages is wrong, as is pure customisation #ITF11 >YES and that’s basically all I have to say about it – not. There is a human tendency to do either-or. Black or white, good or bad, pretty or ugly [...]
Empire Avenue p0wns you
There’s been a bit of buzz about Empire Avenue these days.Quite a few of my Twitter friends have signed up for it, one of who is Bernd Nurnberger. I had a conversation with him after he sent me an invite to join Empire Avenue. I had my doubts about Empire Avenue, especially finding the “what’s [...]
The Schmarketing MQ
With the above picture hardly legible on purpose, let me tell you a small story. Three months ago I was contacted by Derek Singleton with a question about a poll on his company site. I liked the company, liked the site, liked the poll, so wrote a small post about it This week, Hunter Richards [...]
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 [...]
Perfect Integration – the eBook
Perfect Integration by Martijn Linssen What started with Perfect Integration 1 – Architectural Approach and ended with Perfect Integration 13 – the do’s has become a lot of words, more than 10,000 actually. Hence my decision to publish it as an eBook for easier reading – if you have any comments or questions you [...]
Perfect Integration 13 – the do’s
Final post in the series, this is the summary and conclusion, to be used as some sort of checklist if you like. When conducting enterprise business application integration, within the enterprise IT landscape among applications and systems, or from there to others at another company or even directed towards the customer, here are the pragmatic [...]
