Big Brother? Sits right on your mobile

Big Brother? Sits right on your mobile

By Martijn Linssen on November 12, 2012

[The image above has nothing to do with this post, but it seemed to be fitting, given the latest developments. This post is all about trust] In this age of free(mium), it’s common knowledge that you pay with your privacy. Facebook is the best (or should I say worst) example of the dance around your […]

What drives IT failure? Ignorance and Greed

What drives IT failure? Ignorance and Greed

By Martijn Linssen on September 23, 2012

It was an interesting question Charles Storm posed the other day: was I saying that solutions are primarily driven by ignorance and greed? I wasn’t, but he made me think: Every solution is driven by need, or want, and some lack of knowledge. Every failure is caused by ignorance and greed Let’s see whether I […]

Resource identification is not a REST invention

Resource identification is not a REST invention

By Martijn Linssen on August 3, 2012

An article on programmable web – pointed out to me by Fred Verheul (thanks Fred!) – gave me an adrenaline rush. It was so full of bollox that I almost started to hyperventilate – which is a pun on the abundant use of the word hypermedia in that same post Let me just quote one […]

Google Drive breaks Google Docs?

Google Drive breaks Google Docs?

By Martijn Linssen on July 19, 2012

Starting yesterday, I’ve been receiving requests from people to share some of the content I have on Google Docs. Yesterday I also shared a link with a friend of mine, and he couldn’t access it. That puzzled me I checked the last link myself, signed out, and tried again – I got a log-on. What? […]

How CEP will make SaaS the killer app

How CEP will make SaaS the killer app

By Martijn Linssen on June 30, 2012

I got the insight at TIBCO’s Transform event I blogged about yesterday – how we can finally solve the Customisation Riddle we’ve been unsuccessfully combating in IT for decades. Software as a Service is breathing down our necks and guaranteed to replace quite a few on-premise apps in this decade alone. Starting with your tertiary (cleaning, […]

TIBCO Transform - it says it all

TIBCO Transform – it says it all

By Martijn Linssen on June 28, 2012

I attended TIBCO’s Transform event in London. Located at the Westminster Bridge Park Plaza hotel, around 600 people were there. Kicked off by Raj Verma, Senior VP of worldwide Marketing, a 2 hour session started that never bored for a minute. Very smoothly Raj led us through a full history of TIBCO, showing impressive figures […]

No Custom Code, No Customization, No Requirements. And No Integration

No Custom Code, No Customization, No Requirements. And No Integration

By Martijn Linssen on June 8, 2012

The title comes from a conversation between Ron Tolido and me in which we perused the joys and challenges of SaaS. Ron has a very sharp mind and an even sharper tongue, although he somehow magically manages to give people the idea of adressing them in their comfort zone – I never said I was […]

Hybrid mobile apps will conquer the mobile enterprise

Hybrid mobile apps will conquer the mobile enterprise

By Martijn Linssen on June 4, 2012

[Image by HLundgaard] There is a difference about how we thinks things will evolve, and how they do. I’ve been wondering about Mobile and app stores for a while – they seem contradictionairy. Mobile has taken such a great flight because of lowered cost and increased availability of Internet for mobile, the old-fashioned telephone has turned […]

REST definition and its place within Enterprise Integration

REST definition and its place within Enterprise Integration

By Martijn Linssen on May 29, 2012

In a previous post I explained why REST is useless when it comes to Enterprise Integration. Even though at the very beginning I explicitly stated that Roy Fielding wrote his dissertation entirely in the context of Web and that REST has absolutely no business benefits whatsoever with regards to Enterprise Integration I got surprised to […]

Why API's suck, and what they lack

Why API’s suck, and what they lack

By Martijn Linssen on March 29, 2012

The Social Media Movement is slowly moving towards monetisation. Social Business, yes even Social Enterprise, is neigh. Infographics bite the dust in an ever-increasing frenzy to prove that social is here to stay, to rule, to conquer the world! And as yet another evidence of that, API’s are brought forward – by the hundreds, no […]

80-20: the deadly cause of IT project failure

80-20: the deadly cause of IT project failure

By Martijn Linssen on March 26, 2012

There seems to be a rush of IT failure topics these days, all trying to find the Holy Grail of project failure. While I hold that this is a world of AND and AND, not OR and OR, I do see a major cause for project failure for the last decade: shifting from serial processing […]

Why SAP will be single-tenant at start

Why SAP will be single-tenant at start

By Martijn Linssen on March 13, 2012

There’s an interesting discussion going on about multi-tenancy and SAP. Let me be clear on one thing: SaaS can’t be anything else but multi-tenant and opt-out, meaning that there is a single code base for all customers, with regular upgrades for everyone at the same time But what is only natural for SaaS “pure players” […]

Will SaaS kill ERP? No, but it should

Will SaaS kill ERP? No, but it should

By Martijn Linssen on February 21, 2012

It’s been a busy few days. First a post on ZDNet by Eric Lai invented a few problems for Cloud, or rather SaaS, and especially multi-tenancy: inflexible, less secure, less powerfull and maybe more costly – is what Eric claims multi-tenancy SaaS to be. Thomas Wailgum neatly nailed that via a counterpost, as did Frank […]

Where will the social developers code? And what?

By Martijn Linssen on February 17, 2012

Dion Hinchcliffe wrote a very interesting piece, and I missed it. But thanks to John Rymer I picked it up. John shared an interesting question indeed: Client gives up on enterprise PaaS deal with #Salesforce.com, asks me for options. Focus is “systems of engagement.” Interesting question. — John Rymer (@johnrrymer) February 16, 2012   We […]

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 […]
