Infor, A Company in Transition

By Michael Fauscette on September 19, 2014

I just returned from New Orleans last evening after attending Infor’s user conference Inforum (disclosure: Infor paid my travel expenses to the event, and is an IDC client).

Engagement or Experience?

Engagement or Experience?

By Michael Fauscette on August 6, 2014

This may sound a bit like a rant, and I suppose it is really, but I’m tired of having this conversation so thought it would be easier to just point to a post. It’s semantics but being clear on what…

Disrupting Today's Workplace - Part One

Disrupting Today’s Workplace – Part One

By Michael Fauscette on June 11, 2014

I’m going with “disruption of work” for this one. Oh well, titles aside, it’s a topic that I’m extremely interested in, and have been looking […]

Microsoft Office for iPad: One More Thought on Application Silos

Microsoft Office for iPad: One More Thought on Application Silos

By Michael Fauscette on April 28, 2014

As I was re-reading my post on application silos I realized I forgot to include one additional example of the current problem. Recently Microsoft released Office for iPad.
