Gartner: CIOs and CMOs must ‘turn sparks into flame’

By Michael Krigsman on April 10, 2013

In the most recent episode of CxO Talk, Vala Afshar and I asked Gartner group vice president, Mark P. McDonald, to advise CIOs who face declining IT budgets despite higher overall technology spend in their organization. Mark’s comments shed light on reformulating IT strategy to reflect changing corporate needs and the evolving relationship between the CIO and […]

Is the desktop dead? Scoble and friends face-off on mobile

By Michael Krigsman on March 4, 2013

Social Silos: Is Suite The Answer?

Social Silos: Is Suite The Answer?

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 29, 2012

The cloud is supposed to help organizations embrace best of breed applications for their needs. Cloud is supposed to make suite based approach to software consumption irrelevant. Cloud is supposed to enable best of breed without the integration mess of the traditional software era. But it looks like the opposite is happening, especially when it […]

Dreamforce 2012: Betting On Social Enterprise

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 24, 2012

Dreamforce 2012 was held last week at San Francisco with large number of attendees from all over the world. If the conference numbers are any indication of market performance, Salesforce is giving a tough fight to Oracle but they rarely indicate anything significant other than showing enthusiasm among their users. With master showman Marc Benioff […]

Indicee Launches Analytics for Chatter

Indicee Launches Analytics for Chatter

By Ben Kepes on August 29, 2012

I’ve been using Salesforce Chatter for a few years now, I’ve also used other so-called enterprise social tools – Yammer and Socialcast for instance. While these tools are useful for small teams directly engaged in projects, it has always struck me that there is a lot of value left on the table when it comes […]

With Yammer, Microsoft Begins Its Journey From Collaborative To Social

By Chirag Mehta on June 25, 2012

Confirming what we already knew, today Microsoft announced they are acquiring Yammer for $1.2 billion in cold cash. Here’s a blog post by David Sacks, the CEO of Yammer. Microsoft doesn’t report a revenue breakdown for their individual products but SharePoint is believed to be one of the fastest growing products with annual revenue of […]

Microsoft Buys Yammer- A Two Minute Analysis

Microsoft Buys Yammer- A Two Minute Analysis

By Ben Kepes on June 25, 2012

So Microsoft has confirmed the rumored acquisition of Yammer for $1.2B. Here’s my thoughts; Potentially this is a great opportunity for MSFT to create a fabric that spans their different enterprise products (Dynamics, Office, SharePoint) that’s a big big opportunity but I believe technology and platform hurdles will push that possibility well into the future […]

Social – An Enterprise Overlay, or an Enterprise Fabric?

Social – An Enterprise Overlay, or an Enterprise Fabric?

By Ben Kepes on June 12, 2012

On a recent trip to San Francisco I spent talking with both salesforce and NetSuite people about their approach and general view of “social” as it relates to enterprise software. I call out these two vendors because while both are cloud-centric enterprise software companies, they have very different views on social. In fact, salesforce and […]

Socialcast Goes Free to Increase Adoption

Socialcast Goes Free to Increase Adoption

By Ben Kepes on June 6, 2012

There are a number of vendors trying to determine the best way to increase adoption for enterprise social tools – but no one has yet found a more compelling proposition than giving a product away for free. It’s a sad reality that, despite the continual evangelism by proponents of the “social enterprise”, enterprise social tools […]

On the Modern (Social) Enterprise with John Wookey

Recently I had the opportunity to spend some time talking with John Wookey, one of the most seasoned software industry execs that folks outside of enterprise land will never have heard of. Wookey has an impressive history – formerly at Oracle, then poached by SAP to run their on-demand efforts

Why API's suck, and what they lack

Why API’s suck, and what they lack

By Martijn Linssen on March 29, 2012

The Social Media Movement is slowly moving towards monetisation. Social Business, yes even Social Enterprise, is neigh. Infographics bite the dust in an ever-increasing frenzy to prove that social is here to stay, to rule, to conquer the world! And as yet another evidence of that, API’s are brought forward – by the hundreds, no […]
