Nothing Stops the Box Bunny

Nothing Stops the Box Bunny

By Zoli Erdos on October 7, 2012

OK, so I ‘m abandoning my pictorial post schedule, as Box-mania just broke out, and I feel compelled to jump in.  But the skipped  NetSuite post is coming soon… I’ve been following Box longer than probably most observers and some of the old memories are worth sharing – from an admittedly subjective point of view.

A Pictorial Tale of Two Conferences (and more)

A Pictorial Tale of Two Conferences (and more)

By Zoli Erdos on October 3, 2012

Recently I’ve attended two conferences two weeks apart in San Francisco, and the difference in style is shocking.  One did not even feel like a conference, rather a Festival – Woodstock, Mardi Gras, SXSW – your pick:-)  The other a decidedly more “closed” traditional corporate conference, so much so, that fellow commentators actually compared it […]

From Small Box to ... Large Box

From Small Box to … Large Box

Warning: mindless weekend post 🙂 Boxes come in all sizes. Some small, others large, some start small but grow large.   I’ve been tracking one since they were very-very small: As they grew, the moved to bigger and bigger boxes offices, like this one, where even toilets had flat screens: And finally they are in […]

Huddle Fights to Gain Viral Uptake

Huddle Fights to Gain Viral Uptake

By Ben Kepes on January 24, 2012

  In a world where new entrants are trying to break the near-hegemony that Microsoft SharePoint has in enterprise content management, the new generation of vendors is painfully aware that they are in a death race to build momentum. Revenue comes secondary to increasing the viral spread of their products

Syncplicity moves to Document Lifecycle and Workflow

Syncplicity moves to Document Lifecycle and Workflow

By Ben Kepes on November 15, 2011

I use a bunch of document and file synchronization, backup and collaboration tools. From SugarSync to Box.net, from Dropbox to Syncplicity I’ve pretty much used, and currently use, them all. One of the things that interests me from a business strategy perspective, is how companies that primarily sit in the backup and synchronization space manage […]

The Lesson of Dropbox: Usage = Value

The Lesson of Dropbox: Usage = Value

By Chris Yeh on August 14, 2011

Word on the street is that Dropbox is about to raise a major round of financing at a $5 billion+ valuation. While some will cry “Bubble!”, I think there’s a different lesson we can learn: Usage = Value. Let’s face it–Dropbox isn’t the most complicated business or technology. It’s a relatively simple storage app that […]

Tablets In The Enterprise: Workday and Box Announce Tablet Apps

Tablets In The Enterprise: Workday and Box Announce Tablet Apps

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 11, 2011

From the days when we considered iPads in the enterprise as an exciting new trend, we have slowly moved into a world where tablets are a norm from boardroom to IT admins.
