The Economics of Cloud 2: Will It Drive Prosperity in 2011?

The Economics of Cloud 2: Will It Drive Prosperity in 2011?

By Denis Pombriant on December 16, 2010

There are three relatively new technologies converging to make Cloud 2.  All three technologies have been available for many years, though in less robust forms and with less powerful integration.  The convergence is driven by their ubiquity, low cost and ease of use.  They are social media, mobility and analytics.  Together these technologies offer a…

PaaS choices today

PaaS choices today

By Phil Wainewright on December 15, 2010

In the light of Salesforce.com’s swathe of announcements at Dreamforce last week and other recent developments, it’s a good time to take stock of the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) landscape. What are the choices now available to developers and business people looking to build applications on a ready-to-run cloud platform? As part of this review, I’ll report […]

Chatter: From Both Sides Now

Chatter: From Both Sides Now

By Susan Scrupski on December 15, 2010

The gala event, Dreamforce,  isn’t really my gig. The Enterprise Irregulars know “up and down and sideways” everything related to Cloud-computing. One of our EIs, Anshu Sharma, was a key architect  of Salesforce’s database.com offering announced last week.   In short, I spare everyone my uninformed opinion on most things Cloud-computing related for which I’m certain […]

Well, I am a systems guy…

By Denis Pombriant on December 15, 2010

It’s amazing to me how we overuse words.  Bothering to notice is an occupational hazard of the writing life, I suppose.  For instance, consider the word unique, which means one of a kind, if you add very or any other modifier to it, you get mush.  Today’s word might be amazing.  There is entirely too […]

Impression from Dreamforce 2010

Impression from Dreamforce 2010

By Evangelos Simoudis on December 14, 2010

Long gone are the days when Dreamforce was a smallish conference devoted to SaaS; the first conference 10 years ago had fewer than 1000 attendees. This year’s conference had over 30k attendees (business users, IT users and vendors) almost 70% higher than last year’s. The lines in and around the Moscone, the hotel rates and […]

Salesforce Thinks Big – And Forcefully Part II

By Paul Greenberg on December 14, 2010

Yesterday, I covered the lessons of Dreamforce 2010 from what it revealed about salesforce.com’s going forward strategies, products, vision and other sundries.  Concluded that there was some very good stuff.

NetSuite: The quiet momentum

NetSuite: The quiet momentum

By Vinnie Mirchandani on December 13, 2010

In the last week, you have read plenty about salesforce and its Dreamforce event and SAP and its influencer event. NetSuite had a small gathering for a few of us in town for those big events. And while that event got little ink, frankly it deserves plenty for momentum at the company. NetSuite has managed […]
