Social – An Enterprise Overlay, or an Enterprise Fabric?

Social – An Enterprise Overlay, or an Enterprise Fabric?

By Ben Kepes on June 12, 2012

On a recent trip to San Francisco I spent talking with both salesforce and NetSuite people about their approach and general view of “social” as it relates to enterprise software. I call out these two vendors because while both are cloud-centric enterprise software companies, they have very different views on social. In fact, salesforce and […]

By Ben Kepes on April 4, 2012

Acumatica Offers Manufacturing Software on Azure
