Monkigras and accessibility

Monkigras and accessibility

By Thomas Otter on January 28, 2019

Over the years I have been to many software conference and events. And just before it was übercool to throw out things that don’t provide joy, I disposed of a massive pile of conference badges from Gartner symposiums, Sapphires, Risings and Openworlds and countless other events. The memory of these events tends to blur. This […]

The Software Paradox

The Software Paradox

By Vinnie Mirchandani on June 5, 2015

Steve O”Grady of Redmonk has an easy to read book out. His thesis is summarized as “By the time Andreessen wrote those words, there were few who would disagree with the core thesis. Those who would were most likely to be employed by industries in the process of being actively disrupted by software. Software was, […]

Bringing the Hack into HRMS

Bringing the Hack into HRMS

By Thomas Otter on February 4, 2014

I’ve not blogged or written for a while, but I figured it was time to start again. No promises on the regularity of posting appearance. I’m not a comet. Deliberate, consistent customer engagement drives most product enhancements. There is a profound skill in listening to a specific customer need, and turning it into a design […]

Why more market analysis is moving in-house

Why more market analysis is moving in-house

By Vinnie Mirchandani on September 9, 2013

It’s good to see my friends Dennis Howlett launch Diginomica, David Vallente at Wikibon, Ray Wang at Constellation, Phil Fersht at Horses for Sources and others expand their firms, Michael Cote join 451 Research. These alums of Forrester, Aberdeen, ZDNet, Redmonk and their new homes show a fluid analyst marketplace. Fresh models, fresh thinking. And […]

On The Importance of Design at IBM: Love and Margins.

On The Importance of Design at IBM: Love and Margins.

By James Governor on January 9, 2013

At the end of last year my founding partner dropped a quite outstanding post – The Importance of Software at IBM. In it Stephen analysed IBM’s 2011 financial results through the lens he has been using for most of the year (the end of the age of Software-only business models).  It should surprise nobody that Software is […]

Dreamforce 12 – Crazy Big, with Lower Barriers

By James Governor on September 21, 2012

Tweet Dreamforce is a big event. Crazy big. Nearly 90,000 people came to San Francisco this week for the annual celebration of all things salesforce.com. The city shut down Howard Street between the north and south sides of the Moscone Center so that the company could pack in even more people. Salesforce did a slick […]

Its The Data, Stupid. New Relic Goes After Insight-based Business Advantage

Its The Data, Stupid. New Relic Goes After Insight-based Business Advantage

By James Governor on August 23, 2012

Tweet We like New Relic for a number of reasons at RedMonk. Firstly, developers tell us it just works, providing application performance monitoring across cloud apps. Just tick a box from your PaaS provider, and consider your app instrumented. Secondly, New Relic is a data partner for our analytics business; if you haven’t seen the […]

New Era At RedMonk: Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s Donnie!

New Era At RedMonk: Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s Donnie!

By James Governor on December 1, 2011

So today is Donnie Berkholz‘ first day as a RedMonk employee. When we started on the search to hire an analyst with deep analytics skills a few months back I had no idea we’d find somebody so good. We had plenty of outstanding candidates throw their hats in the ring, but Donnie has the skillset […]

SAP Mentors: The New Kingmakers. On Developer Relations, Community Management and Co-Innovation

SAP Mentors: The New Kingmakers. On Developer Relations, Community Management and Co-Innovation

By James Governor on November 19, 2011

Its always nice to see others building on your ideas, so it was cool to see some folks from the SAP Mentor community take up the gauntlet. At RedMonk we like to say developers are the new kingmakers, because of the increasing influence they wield on business innovation, from the bottom up. Of course some […]

Dreamforce 2011: Salesforce Forces its Way Onto The Top Table, Gets Big to Win Ugly

Dreamforce 2011: Salesforce Forces its Way Onto The Top Table, Gets Big to Win Ugly

By James Governor on September 6, 2011

“Apps companies get acquired, and platform companies get acquired. To be a strategic supplier, with off the shelf solutions, and custom apps, you need to offer both.” So said Byron Sebastian, general manager at Heroku and Salesforce.com SVP of Platform at Dreamforce last week. Many of my peers have already posted about the event, so […]
