Gmail, Don’t be a Yahoo!

Gmail, Don’t be a Yahoo!

By Zoli Erdos on November 5, 2010

In the 90’s I used to laugh at friends who all used Yahoo! as their personal email service. I did not understand how anyone could put up with the slow speeds of web-mail, and tried to convince them to install a decent email client, like Outlook, which is what most of them used in their […]

Dear Google, Google Apps Standard Users Are Not Freeloaders

Dear Google, Google Apps Standard Users Are Not Freeloaders

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 11, 2010

I am a long time Google Apps Standard Edition user. I can be considered as one of their power users because I not only test all their beta and labs features but also do it on more than 10 different accounts due to my association with various business and non-business organizations in different parts of […]

NetSuite Fights Hairball Epidemic with New Release and Edgy Marketing Campaign

By Zoli Erdos on October 5, 2010

NetSuite’s marketing team has been known for their edginess, starting from pranks like the SAP for the Rest of Us Party during SAP’s annual conference to staging a shootout at the anti-SAP Conference or releasing edgy videos a’la Mac vs. Windows.  Today they are doing it again, by establishing the Hairball Institute for Business: (The […]

Increased Security for Google Apps But They Have Another Problem at Hand

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 20, 2010

Google today announced a two step verification process during Google Apps login which will help increase the security of organization’s data. Two-step verification is easy to set up, manage and use. When enabled by an administrator, it requires two means of identification to sign in to a Google Apps account, something you know: a password, […]

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 […]

I thought I Was So Cloud

I thought I Was So Cloud

By Dave Michels on August 2, 2010

Last Monday, the hard disk on my primary computer failed. A Western Digital 250GB 2.5 SATA drive in a 6 month old Lenovo ThinkPad. Losing a hard disk is a terribly disruptive event. But I was (rightly) more annoyed about the disruption than potential data loss. The data loss didn’t really concern me. After all, […]

Google Apps Shapes Up Nicely In Spite Of Noise Around City Of LA Bungling

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 29, 2010

The noise surrounding Google App’s City of LA deployment doesn’t appear to be dying down anytime soon. Yesterday, another article highlighting Google’s failure came up on the basis of a leaked email from the City of Los Angeles.  The April 13 letter, addressed to L.A.’s information technology and government affairs committee from City Administrative Officer Miguel […]

Google Partners With Tata Communications To Take Google Apps To Indian Businesses

Google Partners With Tata Communications To Take Google Apps To Indian Businesses

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 21, 2010

Google has been successful in pushing their hosted office suite with businesses in USA. Even though they are nowhere closer to dislodging Microsoft in this space, they are slowly but steadily eating away the Microsoft marketshare. I think their move to target the CIOs of the future by luring the educational institutions (which Microsoft did […]

Linking Google Apps With Gmail – Initial Observations

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 13, 2010

For sometime now, we have been hearing about Google’s plans to let users link their Google Apps account with Gmail so that it can be used with other Google services that are not part of Google Apps. I know many people, including Cloud Ave’s own Zoli Erdos, who wanted such a tie-up. Luckily, Google invited […]

Integration is Good… When You Actually Do It (Part Two)

Integration is Good… When You Actually Do It (Part Two)

By Ben Kepes on June 2, 2010

A month or so ago I wrote a post critical of the integration one vendor had made with the Google apps marketplace. Yesterday I was perusing Twitter when I came across this tweet: I’m actually a user of Xero for three of my businesses, so I was looking forward to seeing what their inclusion on […]

Gone Google or Google Gone?

Gone Google or Google Gone?

By Krishnan Subramanian on May 5, 2010

Google launched their Google Apps campaign called Gone Google with so much fanfare. Now there seems to be some backlash against their offering. There were some rumors that Yale is delaying the switch to Google Apps due to security concerns and a Techcrunch post about concerns raised by City of Los Angeles bureaucrats about Google Apps deployment.
