Who are you, Cloud Broker?

Who are you, Cloud Broker?

By Ofir Nachmani on July 17, 2013

Cloud brokers were recognized and described by Gartner analysts as the `Intermediary services that support fast cloud adoption`. From their customers’ perspectives cloud brokers are the system integrators (SI) or the `cloud enablers` that support fast adoption and maintenance of cloud technologies. For example, the independent software vendor (ISV) can benefit greatly from a cloud […]

2004-2011 financial analysis: Non-traditional SI (Indian players and IBM)

2004-2011 financial analysis: Non-traditional SI (Indian players and IBM)

By Martijn Linssen on April 3, 2012

Yesterday I published my financial analysis of 4 traditional system integrators: Accenture, Atos Origin, Capgemini and Logica. In a conversation I got asked why IBM wasn’t on the list, and my answer was somewhere along the line of “it’s not a pure player”. Also, I hadn’t published my Indian friends yet, so here are another […]

Traditional system integrators 2004-2011 financials

By Martijn Linssen on April 2, 2012

Oddly, however, I’ve seen some strange changes this year – for the first time. I could -and will- even say that traditions have been broken with I had to look hard and […]

Real Profitability Part II: classical System Integrators

Real Profitability Part II: classical System Integrators

By Martijn Linssen on January 16, 2011

In my previous post I gave away financial stats on The Big Three and The Big Four, showing their revenue, profit and R&D – for the company as a whole but also calculated relatively for each employee. As Wim Rampen marvelously noted, the real drooling stats would be in measuring all that by customer, rather […]

Whose Life are You Going to Change?

Whose Life are You Going to Change?

By Mark Suster on December 2, 2010

Many of us have the ability to change the trajectory of other people’s lives.  I’ve think I became self aware of this even back in college.  This is a story of one person who had the power to change my life – and did so in a big way.  It’s the story of persistence in […]
