The elephant in the IBM Cloud

The elephant in the IBM Cloud

By Vinnie Mirchandani on June 1, 2012

Gery Menegaz’s bio says he is an “Executive IT Architect” for IBM. The small print says his columns for ZDNet including the recent one on clouds don’t necessarily represent IBM’s positions, strategies or opinions. Except that they do. His first point says “Data center migrations are disruptive, costly, and complicated. Tightly coupled mission critical systems […]

Next-gen integrators automate how you buy IT

Next-gen integrators automate how you buy IT

By Phil Wainewright on March 8, 2012

For a long while I thought that the old-school systems integrators led by Accenture, Deloitte, Cap Gemini and others would gradually give up market share to the up-and-coming cloud integrators and ultimately join forces with them through acquisitions and mergers. Yesterday’s news of the merger of Cloud Sherpas with GlobalOne is further evidence of the […]

Salesforce.com and Model Metrics

Salesforce.com and Model Metrics

By Vinnie Mirchandani on November 16, 2011

One distinctive feature of Salesforce.com from other application vendors (on-premise and SaaS) has been it has smartly encouraged for years now a group of smaller, cloud savvy systems integrators – as different from large outsourcers, Indian firms or resellers. That includes Appirio (in which Salesforce has a minority investment), Astadia, Bluewolf, Model Metrics and others. […]

Building Apps is Wrong!

Building Apps is Wrong!

By Brian Sommer on September 22, 2011

Software developers, too many of them in fact, are still building apps. That could be a mistake. For decades, software developers have identified business functions and transactions that they could create applications around. The job of an application usually was to permit the recording of a business or accounting event, perform some computational magic upon […]

Salesforce.com Dreamforce 2011: Some insights from The Greatest (Cloud Computing) Show on Earth!

By Dennis Moore on September 5, 2011

Ringling Brothers bills itself as “The Greatest Show on Earth,” but Salesforce.com’s Dreamforce 2011 could easily claim the title of “The Greatest Cloud Computing Show on Earth.” With over 40,000 attendees, dozens of exhibitors, great concerts and parties, and presentations galore, the event was an unqualified success for Salesforce.com, but it also heralded a real […]

Dreamforce 2011, what’s to like?

By Phil Wainewright on August 29, 2011

Posters went up around the Moscone conference center in sun-drenched San Francisco yesterday, celebrating social as the big theme of Dreamforce this year. The emphasis on social had been semaphored as early as June, when Marc Benioff began rehearsing Salesforce.com’s social enterprise messaging at its CloudForce event in DC. It has intensified in some of […]

The Cloud’s for Grown-Ups: Appirio takes more Salesforce.com Investment

By Sameer Patel on August 26, 2011

This morning, Robin Wauters at TechCrunch reports that cloud solution provider Appirio takes an additional investment from Salesforce.com and GGV Capital. The cash is presumably to fund global expansion into Europe and Asia. This is significant as its one more data point that supports two realities: That the Cloud is getting large scale traction, and even in […]
