The cool kids grow up: Box.com and the SharePoint Shift

By Josh Greenbaum on October 23, 2012

Levie is still funny and outrageous, and Box is still young and hip, but the company’s focus is clearly on making sure that growth and new markets are characterized by an astute reading of market forces, and not just on being cool and hip.

Will Yammer improve SharePoint?

Will Yammer improve SharePoint?

By Phil Wainewright on June 26, 2012

Boxing with the Cloud

By Josh Greenbaum on November 15, 2011
