Google Account Craziness

Google Account Craziness

By Chris Yeh on July 25, 2011

I have been a long-time Google user. For example, I’m probably the only person in the world who signed up for Blogger in 2001 who is still using it as their primary blogging platform. When Gmail came out, I lobbied for early access so I could make sure I got my name (thanks Hunter!). PBworks […]

By Krishnan Subramanian on June 23, 2011

Box (previous CloudAve coverage), Palo Alto based cloud content management solution provider, yesterday announced their readiness to take on Office 365 (previous CloudAve coverage), Microsoft’s comprehensive online office solution including Sharepoint, which will be generally available next week. They announced a tighter integration with Google Docs, clearly a credible option to go against Sharepoint inside […]

Gmail’s Most Ridiculous, Idiotic, Intrusive, Useless Feature Ever. Google Apps, Too.

Gmail’s Most Ridiculous, Idiotic, Intrusive, Useless Feature Ever. Google Apps, Too.

By Zoli Erdos on June 22, 2011

Google keeps on coming up with new features at a rapid pace, some making it to adulthood soon, others stuck in “labs” mode forever, some we like, other’s less so – to each their own.  But I’ve never thought the day would come I would write the words utterly ridiculous, iditiotic, intrusive, with absolute certainly […]

Three Wrongs When it Comes to Profiles in HCM Technology

Three Wrongs When it Comes to Profiles in HCM Technology

By Guest Authors on May 17, 2011

We have to admit it – the modern world loves profiles.  Every major service that “sticks” has a profile component that is meant to describe us.  HR technology isn’t an exception. Every major vendor has made at least some attempts to position their profile components as truly central elements of their suite.  So why is […]

Can Office 365 Help Microsoft's Future?

Can Office 365 Help Microsoft’s Future?

By Krishnan Subramanian on April 18, 2011

Microsoft today took the wrappers off their Office 365 offering and allowed any business to try out the beta version. The general availability is scheduled for sometime later in the year. Office 365 is Microsoft’s answer to other online Office Suites such as Google Apps and Zoho Office Suite. After dilly dallying for a long […]

Ouch that’s a longish title. OK, I admit, I am tired, could not decide between two messages and ended up combining them.  Well, let’s see the messages. The Art of Pricing The other day I got into a tweet convo with a Startup Entrepreneur whose product I found interesting, at least at first glance.  But […]

Learn From the Gmail Fiasco: You Need Redundant Copies of Your Email–Don’t Worry, It’s Painless :-)

By Zoli Erdos on February 28, 2011

A few hundred thousand (numbers range from 150k to 500K) Gmail and Google Apps users had the scary experience of losing ALL their email content yesterday.  Their account was accidentally “reset”.  Google acknowledged the error, and issued a statement that they are working on restoring “lost” content. Let’s stop and think here a minute.  Is […]

Google's Disruption Of Enterprise Email Market And Their "Social Challenges"

Google’s Disruption Of Enterprise Email Market And Their “Social Challenges”

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 24, 2011

Ever since Gmail captured the imagination of consumers, Google has been trying to push Google Apps to enterprise customers. In spite of some news about problems in their implementation for big customers, it has been gaining traction steadily. The biggest attraction towards Google Apps Email over other systems is the cost. Even though other players […]

Can We Take Availability Off Cloud Concerns List?

Can We Take Availability Off Cloud Concerns List?

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 15, 2011

One of the concerns cited by people who believe in traditional ways of computing is the issue of service availability in the public clouds. For reasons known only to psychiatrists, they associate availability to the presence of the software inside their organizational boundaries. If we talk to enterprise users who use email system hosted on-premise, […]

Letting Enterprise Users Live In Harmon.ie

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 10, 2010

Yesterday at the GigaOm Net:work event, one of the Launchpad finalists was an interesting company called Harmon.ie (known as Mainsoft since 1993 and see Ben’s previous coverage here). The event itself was focussed on how collaboration happens today and how we will work in the future using the newer technologies that are pushing the envelope […]

Google Is Trying To Get Exchange Users Through Backdoor

Google Is Trying To Get Exchange Users Through Backdoor

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 9, 2010

One of the interesting acquisitions by Google, in my point of view, was their 2007 acquisition of Postini. In fact, it was the main driving force behind somewhat successful push of Google Apps into the enterprises. Today, Google is wearing the Postini mask again as it attempts a long term strategy to get more exchange […]

Well, Well, SAP is now on Google Apps MarketPlace. Ok, Just StreamWork. But Still:-)

By Zoli Erdos on December 6, 2010

Straight from the Who-woulda-thunk-it department: time to rethink the Enterprise Software is Not Sexy meme.  Or at least parts of it.  We’ve previously introduced SAP’s StreamWork collaboration platform – it is now available on the Google Apps Marketplace. That’s not exactly the old-fashioned Enterprise Approach to market. And if you look at SAP’s StreamWork Partner […]
