Utilities should open up API’s to their smart meter data

Utilities should open up API’s to their smart meter data

By Tom Raftery on October 21, 2013

The world of utilities is changing with the roll out of smart meters. One of the biggest changes will be the wealth of data that utility companies will suddenly be flooded with. As we noted in a previous post on GreenMonk, Centrica has: 18 million residential accounts and one million business accounts. Right now they […]

By James Governor on December 1, 2011

So today is Donnie Berkholz‘ first day as a RedMonk employee. When we started on the search to hire an analyst with deep analytics skills a few months back I had no idea we’d find somebody so good.

Towards Effective Corporate Communications: Let Your Engineers do the Talking

Towards Effective Corporate Communications: Let Your Engineers do the Talking

By James Governor on June 10, 2011

One of the common urban myths about software developers and engineers is that they are poor communicators. While there are of course Aspergers types in tech, and some developers that just like to keep their heads down, just as there are in the broader population… spend ten minutes on the web and you can see […]

Developer Segmentation: Tell Me What You Think. Or How the Web “Killed” the Professional Developer

Developer Segmentation: Tell Me What You Think. Or How the Web “Killed” the Professional Developer

By James Governor on April 28, 2011

I have been giving a fair bit of thought lately to app developer segmentation. Considering how much money is poured into developer relations, its surprising just how little solid segmentation work has been done in terms of understanding developer roles or personae. I am currently working on a project for a client, and began some […]

Software CEOs talking fluent dork: its the developers, stupid. New Kingmakers

By James Governor on December 9, 2010

A little after I wrote up the news yesterday that salesforce.com was acquiring Heroku I came across a quote from Marc Benioff, tweeted by @timanderson “Ruby is the language of the cloud 2″ Computerweekly has a fuller version: “Ruby is the language of Cloud 2 [applications for real-time mobile and social platforms].

Salesforce acquires Heroku: Dork Move, guys.

Salesforce acquires Heroku: Dork Move, guys.

By James Governor on December 8, 2010

I came into the office this morning to see a tweet that stopped me in my tracks. Salesforce.com is acquiring Heroku for $212m. In cash! Beyond the obvious bubbliciousness of the deal was a cold hard truth about the once and future kingmakers – developers. You see I didn’t first hear about Heroku from a […]
