Evernote Celebrates Birthday by Joining the Billion Dollar Club (Really?)

Evernote Celebrates Birthday by Joining the Billion Dollar Club (Really?)

By Zoli Erdos on June 28, 2011

Evernote has recently celebrated their third birthday. I also recently had my 21st birthday – it feels good to be able to legally grab a drink finally.  (Hey, if Evernote can lie about their age, so can I…).   Joke apart, I have no idea why a company would pretend to be half as young as [...]

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

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

By Zoli Erdos on June 23, 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 [...]

Chatting Cars and Enterprise Software

Chatting Cars and Enterprise Software

By Zoli Erdos on May 23, 2011

Today’s big news is Salesforce Teaming up with Toyota to create a private social network where you can befriend your car and it will “tweet” you when it’s thirsty, need a checkup etc..etc..etc – see the details from @Krishnan’s post.  The opportunities are really endless – more on that later.   I have to get something [...]

Out of Left Field: Vmware Acquires Sliderocket

Out of Left Field: Vmware Acquires Sliderocket

By Zoli Erdos on April 26, 2011

Quick initial reaction: scratching head. Vmware recently shook up the Cloud Computing world with the launch of Cloud Foundry and I think most of us would have pegged them as an infrastructure company.  Then all of a sudden they buy Sliderocket, the great collaborative presentations company.  Why is this a big deal?  Probably not for [...]

Simon Cowell Left American Idol to Launch CRM Idol. But He Did Not Make the Final Cut.

Simon Cowell Left American Idol to Launch CRM Idol. But He Did Not Make the Final Cut.

By Zoli Erdos on April 25, 2011

Paul Greenberg did.  Simon is off doing X-Factor instead   Joke apart,  if you are in the CRM business, or interested in CRM, or even just social software, chances are you’ve heard of Paul Greenberg. Simply said, he is the Godfather of CRM. And Godfathers get to make decisions.  If you follow Paul’s annual CRM [...]

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

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

By Zoli Erdos on March 1, 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 [...]

Zoho Rounds Out Small Business Suite with Accounting App–Zoho Books

Zoho Rounds Out Small Business Suite with Accounting App–Zoho Books

By Zoli Erdos on January 19, 2011

This morning Zoho, known for SMB focused SaaS offerings in the areas of productivity, collaboration, business processes launched an Accounting app: Zoho Books. I typically don’t do detailed product reviews, when I see the first good ones, will link to them – just a few points here and then let’s discuss how it rounds out [...]

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

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 [...]

Foxmarks, Xmarks, LastPass, Xpass, LastX, X%^&% Quick Rant

Foxmarks, Xmarks, LastPass, Xpass, LastX, X%^&% Quick Rant

By Zoli Erdos on December 2, 2010

Warning: I think I’m becoming a curmudgeon – except that title has until now been reserved for somebody else .   But I still have doubts about the recent transaction: LastPass acquired Xmarks. I really liked Xmarks – when it was Foxmarks.  A simple bookmark synchronization service that would keep your Firefox up-to-date no matter where [...]

HP to Ditch Oracle Siebel in favor of Salesforce.com?

HP to Ditch Oracle Siebel in favor of Salesforce.com?

By Zoli Erdos on November 23, 2010

Today’s big news is that HP may be dropping Siebel CRM now owned by Oracle in favor of Salesforce.com. It’s a bit unfortunate that this is presented in the context of personal ego wars – unfortunate, but understandable,  considering that Oracle has been on a warpath with HP ever since former CEO Hurd got ousted, [...]
