Nothing Stops the Box Bunny

Nothing Stops the Box Bunny

By Zoli Erdos on October 7, 2012

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. […]

Why Cloud ERP?  Cutesy Video

Why Cloud ERP? Cutesy Video

By Zoli Erdos on August 13, 2012

The cutesy video above was created by SAP, the first part talking about the benefits of Cloud ERP, the integrated approach in general, and while the last minute turns into a SAP Business ByDesign pitch, it could very well be viewed as overall industry promotion, applicable to archrival NetSuite, and to some extent Workday, and […]

NetSuite Welcomes SAP as Customer, even while SAP Swaps it for ByD

NetSuite Welcomes SAP as Customer, even while SAP Swaps it for ByD

By Zoli Erdos on May 15, 2012

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 […]

My Quick Take on Quicktate (Convenient Transcription Has Finally Arrived)

My Quick Take on Quicktate (Convenient Transcription Has Finally Arrived)

By Zoli Erdos on February 28, 2012

It is rare that I get so excited about a new service I feel compelled to grab a pen mic smartphone and blog about it. But today it just happened: the service I’m going to talk about is Quicktate. For background, let me just come clear and admit that I’m a really lousy typist and […]

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

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.

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 […]
