Innovation Through Logo Design

Innovation Through Logo Design

By Zoli Erdos on September 8, 2013

OK, I stole that title from Krish.  It’s a telling title, almost as good as this one from Shakespeare: Much Ado about Nothing. Oh, and I really don’t want to write about a logo.  Especially about a fugly one.  One that the entire world hates.  But what can I do, the world is abuzz with […]

Blueprint to Re-Cycle the much Hyped MagiK Kvadrant

Blueprint to Re-Cycle the much Hyped MagiK Kvadrant

By Zoli Erdos on March 25, 2013

Fellow Enterprise Irregular and HfS Research Founder Phil Fersht introduced their new Blueprint with an appropriate title: Step aside Magic Quadrant, hello Blueprint. I think such a milestone warrants a historical overview of Gartner’s Magic Quadrant, Hype Cycle, Magic Cycle, Magic Hype, Hyped Magik… or any other variation you prefer.  And since it’s just a few […]

Oracle Acquires Taleo (Resistance is Futile)

Oracle Acquires Taleo (Resistance is Futile)

By Zoli Erdos on February 9, 2012

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, I am not sure, but this is what happens when I don’t have time to write:-)  If you are in Enterprise Software, you know what’s coming at you … resistance is futile. Now, for the real news on Oracle’s acquisition of Taleo, I refer […]

Workday Flash Mob @ HR Tech

Workday Flash Mob @ HR Tech

By Zoli Erdos on October 12, 2011

Chinese Wall.  Separation of State and Church.  You know the drill.  No mingling of author content and Sponsor posts. Except when they are too funny to miss.  Like Workday, with their Flash Mob Lunch during the HR Tech Conference. Enjoy.

Monkey Business @ HP

Monkey Business @ HP

By Zoli Erdos on September 21, 2011

Bloomberg reports the HP Board is considering replacing CEO Leo Apotheker after less then a year tenure… poor Leo, after this and his previous gig as SAP CEO where he lasted 10 months, he might as well specialize on 10-month “turnaround” gigs.
But it would be naive to think Leo could have initiated …

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 […]

Conspiracy Theory: the Vista-ization of Windows 7 has Started…

By Zoli Erdos on May 8, 2011

Three years ago I wrote: Windows Seven in 2010. Does Anyone Still Care? I simply don’t get it: Vista is barely out, nobody seems to like it, CIO’s refuse to upgrade, analyst firms tell them to wait, individual users who tried it switch back to XP, others time their new PC purchase so they can […]

SaaS Growth, Dogfood, and Images :-)

By Zoli Erdos on November 8, 2010

Fellow Enterprise Irregular Evangelos Simoudis is definitely worth following.  As an active Venture Capitalist he often focuses on his portfolio experience – but through that micro-lense gives us an overview of the market, “The State of SaaS” per se, confirming / contradicting based on real life, real companies what many of us see as trends. […]

Software Marketing Pranks

Software Marketing Pranks

By Zoli Erdos on October 26, 2010

I envy software marketing types.  They get to stay kids forever: pull pranks and even get paid for it.:-) Today’s example comes courtesy of TechCrunch: PayPal competitor WePay dropped a 600lbs ice block at the entrance of the Paypal developer conference.  They got chased away and Moscone security removed the ice block.   My question: who […]
