Nothing Stops the Box Bunny
OK, so I ‘m abandoning my pictorial post schedule, as Box-mania just broke out, and I feel compelled to jump in. But the skipped NetSuite post is coming soon… I’ve been following Box longer than probably most observers and some of the old memories are worth sharing – from an admittedly subjective point of view.

A Pictorial Tale of Two Conferences (and more)

NetSuite History, Wayne’s World style NetSuite is no stranger to aggressive marketing, and SAP has clearly been their #1 target for a while starting from pranks like the SAP for the Rest of Us Party during SAPPHIRE 2006 to staging a shootout at the anti-SAP Conference or releasing edgy videos a’la Mac vs Windows and […]

Welcoming the Newest Enterprise Irregular
We have not adopted a new Member for a long time.. so it was really high time to do something about it. To be honest, I can’t say our new member is the smartest of the pack (at least not yet), but she is sure the cutest: Anneka Roxanne Patel arrived today, at 7lb 9oz. […]
