CIOs make progress, but still get no respect

Roundup Of Cloud Computing And Enterprise Software Predictions For 2014

By Louis Columbus on January 5, 2014

Alan Kay’s saying that the best way to predict the future is to create it resonates through the best cloud computing and enterprise software predictions for 2014. Constraints that held start-ups back from delivering sophisticated new apps and services are disappearing fast.  The dynamics of one of my favorite books, The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton Christensen, are in full force across the […]

Without a proper value exchange, social media is just a channel

Without a proper value exchange, social media is just a channel

By Maggie Fox on June 14, 2013

And it doesn’t work a whole lot better than the ones we already have. While doing some research for a client project, I came across this great post from Chad Warren on the Adobe Digital Marketing blog. In it, Chad discusses (in an admittedly creative mixed metaphor) the “seri­ous dose of real­ity [dropped] on everybody’s […]

Think Bigger

Think Bigger

By Denis Pombriant on February 22, 2012

I spent the best part of last week cruising up and down Silicon Valley checking in with customers and would be clients.  The consensus from this non-scientific survey is that business is better than OK and most people are expecting this year to be the best in a while.  Of course there is a cloud—literal […]

The Shortest Distance

By Denis Pombriant on December 7, 2011

Forrester Research has been heating up the marketplace lately with a string of interesting reports and forecasts that impact CRM and the front office generally.  One that I saw, “Capitalizing on Live Video Chat” by Diane Clarkson, August 23, 2011 talks about the bright future of using video rather than text (obviously) chat in sales, […]

Social business holds steady gap behind consumer social media

Social business holds steady gap behind consumer social media

By Dion Hinchcliffe on August 27, 2011

How vendors think about licenses: marginal price

By Dennis Moore on July 20, 2011

CRN recently ran a story summarizing a Forrester Research study (sorry, I don’t have the link – hopefully, someone will provide it in the comments) which revealed certain vendor practices which are stirring up resentment among CIOs.
