IT: Become Relevant or Die

IT: Become Relevant or Die

By John Taschek on November 2, 2010

This week CloudBlog is in Sydney, Australia, but just last week we were in Orlando Florida at Gartner Symposium  – the 20th anniversary of the conference show – a feat in itself in many ways. One thing is clear, even though the two cities are roughly 10,000 miles apart, the adoption of the cloud is […]

What’s the Next Casualty After Google Wave?

What’s the Next Casualty After Google Wave?

By Guest Authors on August 5, 2010

When Google announced that it is going to kill Wave, my first reaction was – wait, what will happen to Google Wave in Google Apps? So I looked for a post on Google Enterprise Blog. The post basically echoed what was mentioned in their official blog post . It didn’t clearly say if it’ll discontinue […]

Unhyping Gartner’s Hype Cycle, Part 2.

Unhyping Gartner’s Hype Cycle, Part 2.

By Zoli Erdos on July 22, 2010

Here’s Part 1.  The reason I’m doing it again is that Michael Krigsman just published the Wailgum Hype Cycle: Not bad.  Still a bit complex.  Me thinks the simplified,  geekified, scobleized, oprahized, too-oh-ized version of the Gartner Hype Cycle still works: And if it doesn’t – well, it’s almost Friday. In fact for some of […]

Is SaaS Dead? No. Neither is Debate.

Is SaaS Dead? No. Neither is Debate.

By Zoli Erdos on July 8, 2010

We’ve had email dead, resumes dead, wikis dead themes, now it’s apparently time for the SaaS is Dead meme, thanks to a recently published Gartner report.   My favorite quote from the report: SaaS is not a panacea, and companies need to evaluate and understand the trade-offs that SaaS presents Indeed. Here’s another quote from Gartner […]

Magic Quadrant. No. Magik Quadrant. No. Magik Kvadrant. From the Creator of the Enterprise Octopus.

By Zoli Erdos on May 13, 2010

Sam Lawrence, formerly of Jive Software and Enterprise Octopus, most recently Blackbox Republic is baaaack.  Big Time.  Sorry.  I mean Go Big Always.  This time (actually a month ago) he is presenting the Magik Quadrant from a customer prospective.  (Should it not be the Magik Kvadrant?)

The Value is in the Glue

The Value is in the Glue

By Guest Authors on March 8, 2010

One the recurring themes I keep seeing is that the adoption of cloud computing is being driven by our current sucky economic circumstances. I don’t disagree that the macro-economy is a *contributing* factor in cloud adoption, but I really don’t think it’s the primary driving factor. Rather, I think cloud adoption is part of a […]

Would You Manage CRM with a Wiki?

Would You Manage CRM with a Wiki?

By Hutch Carpenter on October 19, 2009

Or human resources with a blog? How about project management with forums? Funny questions to ask, no doubt. Of course it’s not possible to effectively address many of the critical business functions using basic Enterprise 2.0 tools. Yet when it comes to social software, it often seems that the only game in town is to […]
