SAP, Integration and Star Trek: the future is now

SAP, Integration and Star Trek: the future is now

By Martijn Linssen on February 7, 2012

I commented ranted on an SDN post yesterday. Submitting it failed, and I lost the +/- 500 words. A bit more miffed after that, I wrote the comment anew in Notepad, and copy/pasted that – it worked. I got a few reactions, some of which inviting me to post on the topic on SDN via [...]

Pervasive’s Integration World Europe 2012

Pervasive’s Integration World Europe 2012

By Martijn Linssen on January 31, 2012

I was at Integration World Europe 2012 today, organised by Pervasive at the Cumberland hotel in London. A nice environment and a party of a hundred plus, today’s topics were Big Data, Data Integration, Cloud and Strategic Business Solutions. Clear divisions were made on Cloud: IaaS, PaaS and SaaS, and public, private, community and hybrid [...]

tibbr 3.5 turns the world into interactive post-its

tibbr 3.5 turns the world into interactive post-its

By Martijn Linssen on January 25, 2012

Tibbr released version 3.5 to the public today in Palo Alto California, 9 AM Pacific time. I got a solo preview yesterday and I was impressed by it – as usual I’d say. “In twelve months since launch, tibbr has been deployed to hundreds of thousands of employees across global enterprises, who can now use tibbr [...]

SAP meets Cloud: something needs to vaporise first

By Martijn Linssen on December 15, 2011

I have been comfortably following SAP Influencer Summit 2011 from my chair, and reading up on the various posts and vids released throughout the process. It won’t surprise anyone that yesterday’s keywords were cloud, ByD, business, SAPonDemand and sales – thank you, you 350 participants who produced 1,500 tweets during the last day Many people [...]

Integration is the new Operation – this decade and next

Integration is the new Operation – this decade and next

By Martijn Linssen on December 1, 2011

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 [...]

Asphalt that controls traffic type and flow?

By Martijn Linssen on November 29, 2011

This weekend I attended the SAP Inside track NL event, held at Ciber HQ in Eindhoven. The event was great, and I really enjoyed it but would have loved to stay longer and gotten more involved. What has followed are great conversations and discussions, new people to follow on Twitter and elsewhere, and lots of [...]

Flawed Analysis–On Clouds “Playing Nice”

Flawed Analysis–On Clouds “Playing Nice”

By Ben Kepes on October 28, 2011

The other day someone alerted me to a new report put out by IT news that lauds itself as a “technical study of the integration and extension options offered by the largest 20 software-as-a-service vendors serving the Australian enterprise.” The report looks at a few different dimensions including; Can I get my data in and [...]

Open Source and Cloud, Mobile, Data: what goes where?

Open Source and Cloud, Mobile, Data: what goes where?

By Martijn Linssen on October 13, 2011

After an interesting question from Matt Asay I gave a few answers, then decided that Twitter’s not always suited for long conversations (ahem) I’m working on the theme for OSBC2012. I want to highlight the connection btwn cloud/mobile/data. Can someone help me express that? My first reaction was that these words are big, and could [...]

B2B and Social – selling ice-cream in the desert?

B2B and Social – selling ice-cream in the desert?

By Martijn Linssen on October 12, 2011

Lately I see a lot of “news” on B2B from a place I wouldn’t expect: Social. In my opinion Social and B2B have absolutely no business with each other (see my freeBook on Social Business) Joshua Paul is my superhero of the day here, with an utter nonsense post titled 10 Secrets of the B2B [...]

Cloud API’s don’t exist, but become costlier over time

Cloud API’s don’t exist, but become costlier over time

By Martijn Linssen on October 12, 2011

 I had a discussion with George Reese on Cloud and API’s, starting with me saying I’d support a maximum of 3 different API versions, and off went the discussion. His “Max 3 versions? Do you hate your ecosystem?”, “What do you mean there’s no such thing as a public cloud API?” and “When you cease [...]

Salesforce for Quickbooks for Salesforce for Quickbooks….

By Ben Kepes on September 9, 2011

Owning and running a bunch of small businesses, I have a real appreciation for just how important it is for SMBs to have a handle on their customers and deal flow – CRM, a concept foreign to many SMBs only a few years ago has become, with the growing importance of social media, a critical [...]

How to queue – that is the question

By Martijn Linssen on September 8, 2011

The other day my attention got drawn by a very large national company that claimed to have a performance problem: sometimes it would take ages for messages to reach their destination, and entire applications would come to a screeching halt. After a few questions and answers, it was clear that they didn’t have a performance [...]

Selling licenses to bureaucracies is embarrasingly easy

By Martijn Linssen on September 8, 2011

This is a fictitious post. It’s all based on nothing, if any, maybe my dreams or nightmares or who knows what. This isn’t real – it’s just a dream. Somehow my memory got enriched with this information, and whether it actually did or did not happen, I really can’t tell. Anyway, it’s such a bizarre [...]

Social silos adding to enterprise silos? Not with proper Integration

Social silos adding to enterprise silos? Not with proper Integration

By Martijn Linssen on August 25, 2011

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 [...]

Social CRM. Good riddance. Next: Social ERP?

By Martijn Linssen on August 11, 2011

Paul Greenberg, dubbed by some “the godfather of SCRM” wrote a post on ZDNET about Gartner’s 2011 SCRM Magic Quadrant. Paul is not pleased with the 2011 SCRM MQ, and he wasn’t with the 2010 either. I’m with Paul on all his points against Gartner’s selection and evaluation process, yet against him on berating Gartner. [...]
