NetSuite Fights Hairball Epidemic with New Release and Edgy Marketing Campaign
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 [...]
NetSuite, Manufacturing, Ecosystems and a Better Way to Compete
We’ve covered NetSuite substentially @ CloudAve – to the point that I’ve run into trouble with my title: I already used NetSuite vs SAP … Round #n. A Game Changer? so what should I call this one? NetSuitevs SAP Round #n+1?

I don’t have CIO’s to back [...]

Redux: Will Google Enter the Business Applications Market?
If you think I am here to spill the beans, you’re wrong. On a purely speculative level, if there is some news to come, and if there is an embargo related to it, then I respect that. And it’s all a big IF. So no, I am simply dusting off an old post I wrote [...]
The Future of ERP in a Disrupted Market
Thomas Wailgum writes some good articles and is frankly one of the few writers on the subject of ERP and enterprise software who appears to have some real knowledge of this market.
