Infor, A Company in Transition

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). On the flight back I was thinking about what I saw, and what I’ve learned about Infor from my last several interactions with them, and wanted to […]

One of the questions often asked by venture investors and entrepreneurs alike is – how does product strategy work at a company like Salesforce? How is it different from Oracle?

On The Importance of Design at IBM: Love and Margins.

By James Governor on January 9, 2013

At the end of last year my founding partner dropped a quite outstanding post – The Importance of Software at IBM. In it Stephen analysed IBM’s 2011 financial results through the lens he has been using for most of the year (the end of the age of Software-only business models).  It should surprise nobody that Software is […]

SAP Goes All in for User Experience and Design

SAP Goes All in for User Experience and Design

By James Governor on November 18, 2012

I flew down to Madrid yesterday to check out what’s happening in the SAP ecosystem at the company’s TechEd and Sapphire event.

By James Governor on November 18, 2010

I just spent a couple of days with IBM in Rye Brook, NY, and I have to admit, I came away impressed. I should also mention that I landed quite a nice contract while I was there, so take that into account when reading this piece. Why does IBM STG want to work with RedMonk, […]

Is Gap’s New Logo a Crowdsourcing Black Ops?

By Jeff Nolan on October 10, 2010

Here’s an interesting argument… that Gap hoodwinked everyone into signing on to crowdsource a new logo by using their decidedly crappy “new” logo as bait: That’s right.
