Disrupting The Analyst Industry Through Blogs, Yeah Right!!

Disrupting The Analyst Industry Through Blogs, Yeah Right!!

By Krishnan Subramanian on March 15, 2011

For a long time I was getting frustrated with where the industry, in general, and analyst space, in particular, are heading. When I got into research and analysis, I thought blogs can disrupt the analyst industry in the same way open source disrupted the proprietary software.

Shrinking Balls

By John Taschek on February 10, 2011

In my last post, I wrote about the sentiment analysis of the Super Bowl and how brands are impacted by the real-time stream. That stream stimulates a Mean Girls phenomenon that causes people to be more passionate and start to bully as they become more popular. I know some analysts…

The Impact of Collaboration on Enterprise Business Performance

By Jacob Morgan on March 19, 2010

When you really think about it, collaboration is at the very heart of every business on the planet.  It’s very rare that you find someone that is isolated from the rest of the company.  Most people are a part of a team that needs to work together to achieve the best possible results; that team […]

73.6% of all Statistics are Made Up

73.6% of all Statistics are Made Up

By Mark Suster on February 16, 2010

How to Interpret Analyst Reports The headlines in the media are filled with that latest stats.  Stats sell.  The stats are often quoted from the latest reports.  People then parrot them around like they’re fact when most of them are complete bullsh*t.  People throw them around at cocktail parties.  Often when they do I throw […]

SaaS Accounting Gains: Now What Say You, McKinsey?

SaaS Accounting Gains: Now What Say You, McKinsey?

By Zoli Erdos on February 15, 2010

According to Goldman Sachs Accounting is now at the #3 spot in SaaS implementations, reports Dennis Howlett. Not a real surprise, certainly not to Dennis’s readers, or those who follow our  Accounting 2.0 series.

@jowyang and the Circle of Life

By Chris Yeh on August 27, 2009

A hot news item out of Silicon Valley is that my old friend Jeremiah Owyang has left Forrester Research to form the equivalent of a rock supergroup by joining Charlene Li, Ray Wang, and Deb Schulz at Altimeter.

Simplifying the  Gartner Hype Cycle – 2.0 Style

Simplifying the Gartner Hype Cycle – 2.0 Style

By Zoli Erdos on August 25, 2009

Fellow Enterprise Irregular Vinnie Mirchandani did a good job of un-hyping the Gartner Hype Cycle for emerging technologies. He points out some inconsistencies comparing this year’s chart to the 2007 version. He should know, he is a Gartner Alumnus himself.  But I’ve been wondering if there was a way to further simplify it, i.e. make […]
