Microsoft Office 2013, Google Users Not Apply

Microsoft Office 2013, Google Users Not Apply

By Jeff Nolan on February 7, 2013

Like a lot of people I depend on Office to do my job. I have tried a range of personal productivity applications and nothing comes close to Office in terms of depth of features and overall completeness of the product. It is nothing short of a stunning achievement that changed the way we work. When […]

Cloud Computing: Google Apps cloud has a relatively high carbon intensity

Cloud Computing: Google Apps cloud has a relatively high carbon intensity

By Tom Raftery on July 3, 2012

I have been researching and publishing on Cloud Computing for quite some time here. Specifically, I’ve been highlighting how it is not possible to know if Cloud computing is truly sustainable because none of the significant Cloud providers are publishing sufficient data about their energy consumption, carbon emissions and water use. It is not enough […]

How to Lose Your Work in Gmail in One Simple Step

By Zoli Erdos on May 1, 2012

Google Apps mail background send fails, but the pending email is nowhere to be found. You either stay logged in and keep the browser open infinitely, or lose your work.

Gmail’s Most Ridiculous, Idiotic, Intrusive, Useless Feature Ever.

Gmail’s Most Ridiculous, Idiotic, Intrusive, Useless Feature Ever.

By Zoli Erdos on June 23, 2011

Google keeps on coming up with new features at a rapid pace, some making it to adulthood soon, others stuck in “labs” mode forever, some we like, other’s less so – to each their own.  But I’ve never thought the day would come I would write the words utterly ridiculous, iditiotic, intrusive, with absolute certainly […]

Learn from the Gmail Fiasco: You Need Redundant Copies of Your Email–Don’t Worry, It’s Painless :-)

Learn from the Gmail Fiasco: You Need Redundant Copies of Your Email–Don’t Worry, It’s Painless :-)

By Zoli Erdos on March 1, 2011

A few hundred thousand (numbers range from 150k to 500K) Gmail and Google Apps users had the scary experience of losing ALL their email content yesterday.  Their account was accidentally “reset”.  Google acknowledged the error, and issued a statement that they are working on restoring “lost” content. Let’s stop and think here a minute.  Is […]

Smartsheet and collaboration

Smartsheet and collaboration

By Denis Pombriant on January 23, 2011

I took a briefing with Smartsheet yesterday.  It’s a type of collaboration software but it operates in a more textual way than the social media based tools on the market like Facebook or its business counterpart, Chatter from Salesforce.com. What’s immediately striking about the product is its spreadsheet metaphor.  Everyone connected with the product will […]

Well, Well, SAP is now on Google Apps MarketPlace. Ok, Just StreamWork. But Still:-)

Well, Well, SAP is now on Google Apps MarketPlace. Ok, Just StreamWork. But Still:-)

By Zoli Erdos on December 6, 2010

Straight from the Who-woulda-thunk-it department: time to rethink the Enterprise Software is Not Sexy meme.  Or at least parts of it.  We’ve previously introduced SAP’s StreamWork collaboration platform – it is now available on the Google Apps Marketplace. That’s not exactly the old-fashioned Enterprise Approach to market. And if you look at SAP’s StreamWork Partner […]

Gmail, Don’t be a Yahoo!

Gmail, Don’t be a Yahoo!

By Zoli Erdos on November 5, 2010

In the 90’s I used to laugh at friends who all used Yahoo! as their personal email service. I did not understand how anyone could put up with the slow speeds of web-mail, and tried to convince them to install a decent email client, like Outlook, which is what most of them used in their […]

NetSuite Fights Hairball Epidemic with New Release and Edgy Marketing Campaign

NetSuite Fights Hairball Epidemic with New Release and Edgy Marketing Campaign

By Zoli Erdos on October 5, 2010

NetSuite’s marketing team has been known for their edginess, starting from pranks like the SAP for the Rest of Us Party during SAP’s annual conference to staging a shootout at the anti-SAP Conference or releasing edgy videos a’la Mac vs. Windows.  Today they are doing it again, by establishing the Hairball Institute for Business: (The […]
