Which Apps To Move To The Cloud?

Which Apps To Move To The Cloud?

By Ben Kepes on January 9, 2013

I don’t preach an “all or nothing” cloud approach. Cloud is a sliding wedge and existing organizations should look at taking baby steps and slowly increase the breadth and depth of their cloud usage.

Forrester Confuses “Best” with “Most Accessible”

Forrester Confuses “Best” with “Most Accessible”

By Ben Kepes on November 8, 2012

I’ve got a love/hate relationship with the traditional analyst firms. Their people are incredibly smart and very thorough, but sometimes in their search for massive levels of details, they miss the very point of technology. A good case in point is the recently released Forrester Enterprise Cloud Database Wave report.

Organized Robbery

Organized Robbery

By John Taschek on January 24, 2011

We’re at a time of rebellion against maintenance fees, which now include the elements of insurance, extortion, declining systems, and of course refactoring all of which add to the costs of any implementation. Add that into the actual implementation itself, and one is left with whopping fees and eventually ineffective…

Why Public Clouds Will Eventually Win The Game

Why Public Clouds Will Eventually Win The Game

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 28, 2010

Long term readers of this blog know my views on public vs private cloud debate. I believe that private clouds may dominate over public clouds among the enterprises in the short run but, in the long run, most of the workloads will move to the public clouds. The cloud economics will be a major driving […]

Forrester to Analysts that Have Their Own Blogs: Umm, No

Forrester to Analysts that Have Their Own Blogs: Umm, No

By Jacob Morgan on February 6, 2010

According to Sage Circle, Forrester is telling all of their analysts that have their own personally branded research blogs that they must either take them down or re-direct them to the Forrester site. Apparently Forrester feels like they can provide more value to their clients if they aggregate all of the content into one space, […]

Customer Support in the Facebook and Twitter Era

Customer Support in the Facebook and Twitter Era

By Ben Kepes on November 4, 2009

I’ve been a follower of Helpstream CEO Bob Warfield since before I begun blogging. He’s a super smart, super analytical SaaS commentator who left the world of full time blogging to enjoy the rewards of corporate leadership. I’d have made this session no matter what, the fact it included a bunch of other really smart […]

@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. This is great news for all of those aforementioned rockstars, but it is also a classic example […]

Traditional Analysis Firms, It's All About Dollars. But Are Blogs Heading the Same Way?

Traditional Analysis Firms, It's All About Dollars. But Are Blogs Heading the Same Way?

By Ben Kepes on August 25, 2009

The other day as I was perusing the web (as I tend to do), I came across an interesting research paper from IDC Australia. Later in the year I’ll be presenting at the Cloud Computing Summit and some of what the author of the paper said sounded interesting. Being a collaborative sort of a guy, […]

The Wave – and Why Central Desktop is Happy but Nonchalant

The Wave – and Why Central Desktop is Happy but Nonchalant

By Ben Kepes on August 20, 2009

Image via CrunchBase The other day I got an email from Isaac Garcia at Central Desktop to let me know that they’d been included in the August 2009 Forrester Wave for Collaboration Platforms which, not surprisingly, lives behind a paywall (and will cost readers USD1749 – for a 14 page document!) but which I’ve been […]

By Ben Kepes on October 23, 2008

Warning – this might end up turning into a bit of a rant here! IDC have come out with a new report on the prospects for Cloud Computing. They’re now saying that; The cloud model offers a much cheaper way for businesses to acquire and use IT — in an economic downturn, the appeal of […]
