FUD in the House of SaaS – More on Suites

FUD in the House of SaaS – More on Suites

By Zoli Erdos on April 26, 2010

Recently I wrote about the evergreen Best-of-breed vs. Integrated All-in-One Suite debate again, arguing: Call me “old school”, but I also believe in the value of having one tightly integrated system for most business needs, and I believe it’s true not only for large corporations but much smaller businesses.  I don’t have CIO’s to back […]

Are Suites Really Sour?  The Best of Breed vs. Integrated Suite Debate.

Are Suites Really Sour? The Best of Breed vs. Integrated Suite Debate.

By Zoli Erdos on April 14, 2010

The evergreen Best-of-breed vs. Integrated All-in-One Suite debate is back again. This will be a somewhat long post, so let’s sit back and start with some entertainment first. Episode 2, “Suites Are Sour”  is from the mini-series SuiteMates, which I admit I find hilariously entertaining, albeit rather pointless.  Why?  It’s run by supply chain solution […]

When online communities go to work

When online communities go to work

By Dion Hinchcliffe on March 22, 2010

While the debate continues on about whether consumer social networking is an effective model for how we should run our organizations in the future, one under-appreciated online phenomenon is quietly and steadily remaking the very notion of business itself.

The world of online communities has evolved with social computing to become one of the most powerful new models for getting work done. Read my exploration of “When online communities go to work.”

Webciety and Enterprise 2.0: A snapshot of today's social computing conversations

Webciety and Enterprise 2.0: A snapshot of today’s social computing conversations

By Dion Hinchcliffe on March 5, 2010

Though smaller than in year’s past, Germany’s CeBIT trade show in Hanover this week remains one of the giants of the industry and is a must-attend event for much of Europe’s technology leaders. For the last two years, I have been participating in Webciety, a show within a show that explores the emerging 21st century digital lifestyle.

Here is a breakdown of how Europe is looking at Enterprise 2.0 adoption and how it affects us as well.

Making government more open and social

Making government more open and social

By Dion Hinchcliffe on February 28, 2010

Can social tools and community-based approaches truly help our government function better and operate more efficiently? Will open access to government data create important new opportunities for citizens and increase transparency? As we’ll see, these two questions are currently top-of-mind in many public sector policy discussions this year. The questions also herald underlying forces at work in the government landscape in many countries around the world, including the United states.

Here are some of the initiatives that are taking place this year and what’s happening with Government 2.0 as 2010 begins to heat up.

Ten emerging Enterprise 2.0 technologies to watch

Ten emerging Enterprise 2.0 technologies to watch

By Dion Hinchcliffe on February 22, 2010

Two significant and closely related trends in enterprise computing this year are the growth of Software-as-a-service (SaaS) and social computing. By most accounts, both are gaining ground fairly rapidly while still not being used for core business functions or mission critical applications in most large firms, at least not yet.

Here’s a breakdown of what Enterprise 2.0 technologies and products to watch this year.

The SaaS applications wiki - open for business

The SaaS applications wiki – open for business

By David Terrar on February 12, 2010

Over on AccountingWEB’s forums (you need an AWEB account to log in, but it’s free) there have been some heavy exchanges discussing the barriers to adoption of Cloud solutions by accountants in practice in the UK.  I found it interesting, but sadly the dialogue has been too vendor driven, with plenty of verbiage from the […]

SAP's 12Sprints joins the social enterprise bandwagon

SAP’s 12Sprints joins the social enterprise bandwagon

By Dion Hinchcliffe on February 4, 2010

I spent some time this morning working with SAP’s new 12Sprints collaboration service, which was announced earlier this week. Available free in open beta immediately, it’s a cloud-based service that’s a cross between Basecamp and Google Wave and is ostensibly designed for team collaboration. Not incidentally, 12Sprints is also clearly a social application and it includes viral invitation, extensive commenting and discussion capabilities, and interesting new twists on measuring community opinion such as real time consensus tracking. Here’s my analysis and breakdown.

Social Media in the Enterprise – event report pt 2 of 2

By David Terrar on February 4, 2010

Yesterday I blogged part 1 of my report on the Social Media in the Enterprise event that Alan Patrick and I cooked up (at Tuttle) to inject some enterprise related content in to this week’s “London Social Media Week“.  We had 8 speakers (originally 10, but Will McInnes of NixonMcInnes had travel problems, and Dr […]
