Moving Beyond Application Silos

Moving Beyond Application Silos

By Michael Fauscette on April 28, 2014

One of the challenges that many companies are facing today is dealing with the concept of creating a collaborative work environment while dealing with organizational structures that are very silo’ed. It’s more than organization structure though, many enterprise applications also operate as silos. Data then, ends up scattered across a company and “trapped” in these […]

Progress Revolution Kicks Off: @RReidy and @DrJohnBates Keynotes

By Sandy Kemsley on September 20, 2011

I arrived in Boston yesterday for Progress Software’s user conference, Revolution, and to deliver an Introduction to BPM workshop yesterday afternoon. With that out of the way, I can focus on the other speakers here, and what’s happening with Progress these days. The keynotes opened with Rick Reidy, the CEO, with a bit of history […]

Converging on the Social Enterprise

Converging on the Social Enterprise

By Dion Hinchcliffe on September 8, 2011

I was in San Francisco last week for Dreamforce, the yearly confab for Salesforce that has had a major focus on social business the last couple of years. There’s little doubt that Marc Benioff clearly sees the very near future of business, and it’s something he calls the social enterprise. While you can read my […]

Stifling growth? Challenge some assumptions!

Stifling growth? Challenge some assumptions!

By Sig Rinde on May 25, 2011

McKinsey Quarterly has an article in their May edition – “Preparing your organization for growth” – that yet again reminds me about the total inability to ask the right question. Or question any assumptions at all. If you live in a small apartment with one bedroom and your wife becomes pregnant with triplets, what will […]

Accounts Payable, The Role of Process, The CustomerNever Think Bloodless

By Paul Greenberg on March 7, 2011

As anyone who knows me, knows (me), I speak at a lot of conferences. I get the opportunity – and never see it as anything less than a true “thank you” opportunity – to put out my sometimes saw-toothed thoughts in front of hundreds of thousands of people a year – and they often genuinely […]

Get rid of the Calendar, and the Watch too

Get rid of the Calendar, and the Watch too

By Sig Rinde on January 4, 2011

Those are leftovers from the industrial age and the biggest impediment to an effective society. Before I hear the protest I can just as well agree that sometimes it’s needed; like when I’m to meet somebody for a spot of lunch, or when an airplane or train operating company wants to ferry me and 120 […]

By Sandy Kemsley on October 25, 2010

The day before the official announcement of IBM’s Case Manager product, Jake Levirne, Senior Product Manager, walked us through the capabilities. He started by defining case management, and discussing how it is about providing context to enable better outcomes rather than prescribing the exact method for achieving that outcome. For those of you who have […]
