Digital Transformation Adoption: A Point-by-Point Update

Digital Transformation Adoption: A Point-by-Point Update

By Esteban Kolsky on September 16, 2014

We did it! Finally, we reached peak of the hype cycle for Digital Transformation. Congratulations, we couldn’t have done it without your help. Thank you! I first wrote, seriously, about it earlier this year after many years of mentioning the coming paradigm shift that would revolutionize business (not an evolution like social media and social […]

Gartner, the lightning rod

Gartner, the lightning rod

By Vinnie Mirchandani on August 11, 2014

Once again Gartner is in the news. Its is being sued and a whole slew of blogs and articles have piled on. My summer project researching and writing about the SAP economy has allowed me a chance to go back and review 20+ years of market research, articles, blogs and presentations. Part of me wonders […]

Digital transformation: CIO / CMO and the crisis of confidence

Digital transformation: CIO / CMO and the crisis of confidence

By Michael Krigsman on July 15, 2014

A few years ago, Gartner analysts predicted, “by 2017, the CMO will spend more on IT than the CIO.” As you can see from the opening slide on their presentation (registration required) about the topic, Gartner trumpeted this prediction loudly: Although Gartner phrased its prediction to gain attention, the detailed explanatory presentation offers vague and rather inconclusive data to support the core […]

What’s the Future of Feedback? Stay Tuned…

What’s the Future of Feedback? Stay Tuned…

By Esteban Kolsky on July 2, 2014

Back in 2001 – while an incredible talented, young, and successful Gartner analyst – I wrote a research note introducing  the concept of Customer Feedback Systems. In it I wrote about how feedback was poorly done as stand-alone surveys or outsourced entirely to market research firms (that in turn took too long to deliver insights) […]

Tech Bubble? Full Stack Goes Beyond $3.7 Trillion IT Budget

Tech Bubble? Full Stack Goes Beyond $3.7 Trillion IT Budget

By Anshu Sharma on May 5, 2014

I want to convince you that this time it really is different. Its fundamentally different because the silicon valley is bursting out of tech. In the earlier generational shifts of computing paradigms from mainframes to client server and then from client server to internet, we were primarily still constrained by the IT budget.Gartner predicts IT […]

Is It All About Mobile?

Is It All About Mobile?

By Esteban Kolsky on April 2, 2014

Mobile First. Mobile Only. Mobile seems to be in everybody’s minds these days, no? I mean, name one person in #EnSw that has not added mobile to their credentials in the past 12-18 months. (BTW, I was one of the originators of m-CRM while I was at Gartner back in the early 2000s – we […]

What color is your influence?

What color is your influence?

By Vinnie Mirchandani on February 10, 2014

I read this week Klout “is evolving from a service that told you how much influence you had in terms of a numerical value, to a service that now tells you why you’re influential and how you can improve on that”. And my reaction was did the Klout score ever accurately quantify “influence”? 5 items […]

Get a Horse

Get a Horse

By Denis Pombriant on December 12, 2013

I was literally gobsmacked and I had to re-read the post several times.  Gartner analyst Robert Desisto—who I don’t know at all—wrote a short post last week saying that today’s SaaS vendors, “will resist to the move to ‘pay as you go’ because it will have a very big impact on their business model predictability” […]
