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 […]

Connecting Appian, Rinde and Wardley with the intersection of process and social

Connecting Appian, Rinde and Wardley with the intersection of process and social

By David Terrar on November 13, 2012

I’ve been pushing the concept of using social technologies for collaboration and connections both inside and outside of business to make companies more effective since early 2006.  The naming has changed from web 2.0 to enterprise 2.0 to social business, but the concept is the same.  However, when some areas of technology like smart phones […]

The Magic at DreamForce 2012

The Magic at DreamForce 2012

By Dave Michels on September 27, 2012

Dreamforce is an impressive conference, though I have never actually attended one. At least not in person, I always make it a point to watch the posted videos as the show has some truly impressive content. This year there was decidedly less video posted, I think the CMOs that get featured are increasingly restricting their […]

The Shift has hit the Fan - Microsoft, Facebook Slides, Google Rises

The Shift has hit the Fan – Microsoft, Facebook Slides, Google Rises

By John Taschek on August 15, 2012

In what seems to be from the lower paleothic period but in fact was about a year and a half ago, I wrote a post about the Mean Girls phenomenon and Shakespeare. This in turn was not actually about mean girls or Henry IV, but about the interesting relationship of…

Saba Software, Redwood California based company with various offerings in the learning and talent management segment, takes a shot at the Social Business space with the announcement of Saba People Cloud.

Ctrl – Alt – Social

Ctrl – Alt – Social

By John Taschek on February 21, 2012

In the tech world in which everything is recycled, retooled, and spit out like un-digestible gristle, one often comes across the phrases such as groupware is “dead” or “email is dead.” Oddly enough these are euphemisms or perhaps more correctly the opposite: dysphemisms – the substitution of a disagreeable word…

Bored of Directors

Bored of Directors

By John Taschek on February 15, 2012

What new shiny object do we not care about today? And what do crown jewels mean anyway? Thus was the start of a conversation with the New Zealand provocateur – in human form, which was a follow up to a Gillmor Gang Enterprise show recorded live in real-time. Behind the…

1990s Called And Wanted Their AOL Back

1990s Called And Wanted Their AOL Back

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 6, 2012

On Saturday, Robert Scoble made a blog post declaring the death of open web. In the post Robert argued that the open web as we know now is dying and no one can save it from the walled gardens of Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.. John, where were you? At least Dave has been consistently trying […]

Big Blue’s Sphere

Big Blue’s Sphere

By Dave Michels on January 31, 2012

LotusSphere is an odd name for an event about non-Lotus software. That was just one of the themes from IBM’s (presumably last) LotuSphere 2012, that it is killing  the Lotus brand. Not that the show is dying – it’s a huge show. IBM has slowly been distancing itself from the name/brand Lotus – and replacing […]

IBM's Social Agenda

IBM’s Social Agenda

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 26, 2012

Last week IBM hosted the annual Lotusphere event at Orlando. Last year, they made a strategic shift and started pushing heavily on the idea of Social Business and followed it up this year by not only brining last year’s announcements into fruition but also moved out of the Lotus brand to remove any legacy tag […]

Tibbr Leaps Forward With GEO Feature And HTML5

Tibbr Leaps Forward With GEO Feature And HTML5

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 25, 2012

Tibbr (previous CloudAve coverage), Tibco’s social tool competing with the likes of Chatter, released a new version, Tibbr 3.5 with two new features which makes the product pretty hot in the market. In fact, I have been pretty impressed with Tibbr by the time it came into the market. Unlike many companies who were totally clueless […]

Carrot Beats Stick

Carrot Beats Stick

By John Taschek on January 19, 2012

WooHoo: You’ve just unlocked the URL of Blogville Badge! With Hostess becoming as bankrupt as the nutritional information in a Ding Dong and Kodak redefining the Kodak moment of another kind of bankruptcy, I immediately thought of my childhood. Thankfully those cheerful marketing images that blanketed the store shelves were replaced by a different set […]

Why I Think Office 365 Is Not (Yet) Ready

Why I Think Office 365 Is Not (Yet) Ready

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 12, 2012

Earlier this week I had a Tweetbate with few folks who have a soft corner for Microsoft products on whether Office 365 (previous CloudAve coverage), Microsoft’s cloud based productivity suite, is a credible player in the modern cloud business applications space. When I say modern cloud business applications, I expect them to have, at least, […]

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 […]

Putting It In Qontext

Putting It In Qontext

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 14, 2011

When I was at Suiteworld 2011, Netsuite’s user conference, I came across a company called Qontext (previous CloudAve coverage). I got attracted towards the company initially out of my curiosity to find out how they are going to navigate the Netsuite-Yammer partnership while they themselves are partnering with them. I have spoken with them couple […]
