The next big thing: WeeData

The next big thing: WeeData

By Paul Miller on September 25, 2012

What is the Future of Email?

What is the Future of Email?

By Jacob Morgan on March 13, 2012

The Social Revolution Has Just Begun

The Social Revolution Has Just Begun

By John Taschek on January 4, 2012

Depending on whom you ask, 2011 was either the year of the iPad or the year of social. The truth is that they were and are equally weighted because they are catalysts for each other, and while each can exist without the other, imagining such a thing is like trying to imagine a world where […]

Sorry Gartner, Here’s the Real Magic Quadrant for SCRM

Sorry Gartner, Here’s the Real Magic Quadrant for SCRM

By Mark Fidelman on August 31, 2011

To understand what Social Customer Relationship Management (SCRM) is, we have to start with a clear definition. The definition must be clearly articulated and easily understood by individuals in the industry. In the Magic Quadrant for Social CRM, Gartner writes, “Social CRM applications need to be far more customer-centric than more-traditional CRM applications. Without benefits […]

Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies 2011: Idea Management Enlightenment

Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies 2011: Idea Management Enlightenment

By Hutch Carpenter on August 12, 2011

We’re movin’ on up…. Last year, Gartner released its Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies 2010. Idea Management, included in the analysis, was placed at the latter part of the Trough of Disillusionment. Tough name, although not as dire as it sounds. Rather, a transitional stage in the market evolution of a technology. Still, that part […]

Social CRM. Good riddance. Next: Social ERP?

By Martijn Linssen on August 11, 2011

Paul Greenberg, dubbed by some “the godfather of SCRM” wrote a post on ZDNET about Gartner’s 2011 SCRM Magic Quadrant. Paul is not pleased with the 2011 SCRM MQ, and he wasn’t with the 2010 either. I’m with Paul on all his points against Gartner’s selection and evaluation process, yet against him on berating Gartner. […]

Variations on Hype Quadrants.. no Magic Hype… no, Hype Cycle.. or is it Magic Quadrant?

By Zoli Erdos on April 1, 2011

Gartner introduced their Real (Magic) Quadrant: Not bad.  But let’s not forget the customers’ prospective. Welcome to the Magik Kvadrant: But perhaps most revealing is Phil Fersht’s Painsharing Paradox: Enough of this quadrants, squres, cubes… let’s hype up some cycles.  Superseding the Gartner version, here’s the Wailgum Hype Cycle: Not bad.  Still a bit complex.  […]
