How Google is Driving Mobile Video Market Growth

How Google is Driving Mobile Video Market Growth

By Louis Columbus on August 27, 2012

Google’s top advertising customers are pushing for convergence of mobile and video quickly, which is turning into a strong catalyst of growth of the global mobile video market.  With their largest advertising customers wanting greater flexibility in bringing video to mobile devices, Google will make significant strides this year to make that happen. During their latest earnings call, Google execs said that Android, [...]

Transportation, Sustainability and CRM

Transportation, Sustainability and CRM

By Denis Pombriant on May 9, 2012

Sustainability and CRM There was an interesting article in the New York Times last week, “When Flying 720 Miles Takes 12 Hours”   about airlines but the subtext was all about CRM, or at least where CRM has to go.  If you know me at all, you know I closely attend to macroeconomics and energy [...]

The day software ate Cisco

The day software ate Cisco

By Phil Wainewright on April 25, 2012

It hasn’t happened yet. It’s another of my predictions. But it suddenly struck me this week, as I read about the latest developments in cloud networking. Five or so years from now, the day will come when Cisco will have shrunken almost to nothing, eaten by software. Marc Andreessen’s phrase, “software is eating the world,” [...]

Carbon Survey Calls Salesforce Leader in Carbon Abatement

Carbon Survey Calls Salesforce Leader in Carbon Abatement

By Denis Pombriant on September 21, 2011

Marc Benioff’s Facebook page says that Salesforce.com is a rising leader in the effort to get carbon out of business.  I didn’t know there was such a survey or report but I am glad there is. Getting carbon out of your business processes is hugely important.  While most people will view this as an anti-pollution [...]

By R "Ray" Wang on August 15, 2011

Confusion Persists In The Social Business Market As with any new disruptive technology, the social business solution landscape faces a dynamic, confusing, and converging market. As vendors seek to grab mind share and market share, customers and prospects remain confused as to what are the right business problems to address with social business. However, rampant [...]

Enterprise Headlines and Excerpts, 1-15 April 2011

Enterprise Headlines and Excerpts, 1-15 April 2011

By Dennis Moore on April 15, 2011

Tax day. Meh. Some highlights of the first half of April: Marin County tries using racketeering charges against Deloitte and SAP. Do Marin County residents realize their paid employees are wasting their money this way? And after wasting so much money with an ill-advised ERP project?!? Larry Page takes over CEO role at Google, shakes [...]

Dear Big Companies: Please Stop Wrecking My Stuff.

Dear Big Companies: Please Stop Wrecking My Stuff.

By Maggie Fox on April 12, 2011

Big company buys small social company. Several unremarkable years pass. Big company suddenly announces that they are sunsetting/shuttering/selling small company, now much diminished from lack of care and feeding. Rinse and repeat. I get that this happens – I get that cultures clash (AOL/TimeWarner, anyone?) and I also get that the initial innovation stagnation problem [...]

Where Next for Web Meetings?

Where Next for Web Meetings?

By Phil Wainewright on March 1, 2011

I know I’m not alone in my dissatisfaction with web meetings, because I frequently hear the same sentiments expressed by colleagues and associates. We’re all fed up with dialing in to online meetings, waiting for clunky client software to load…

Monday’s Musings: Reflections On Obama And The False Hope For A Tech Halo

By R "Ray" Wang on February 21, 2011

President Obama’s Visit Reflects The Importance Of Silicon Valley To The US Economy By now everyone’s seen and re-seen the photo showing the tech-centric dinner at John Doerr’s house in Woodside, CA on February 17th, 2011 (see Figure 1).  With a guest list that included most of the “Captains of the Tech Industry” it would [...]

Why tech advertising needs fine print

Why tech advertising needs fine print

By Vinnie Mirchandani on December 20, 2010

Maybe I have been watching more TV recently, but tech vendors seem to be spending plenty on TV advertising – and I keep thinking as with pharmaceuticals, they need to spend at least 15 seconds on fine print. Like Verizon with its 4G LTE commercial below. The ad shows a man at a rural location. [...]
