RedMonk is Hiring: Data Scientists/Griots Please Apply

RedMonk is Hiring: Data Scientists/Griots Please Apply

By James Governor on July 29, 2011

RedMonk is hiring. RedMonk 1.0 was all about voice, and we certainly owned that, operating at a scale far exceeding our notional size. but with Coté leaving its a chance to recalibrate – RedMonk 2.0 will be about making the voice richer and more authoritative with data.

SAP Plays Games with the Analysts, and the Gamification of the Enterprise Begins

By Josh Greenbaum on March 1, 2011

I went to a preview showing of a new SAP product last week, and had about the most fun I’ve had an analyst event since….well, if I had more fun than I had at last week’s event, I can’t remember. In the process I got to see the product up close and personal, and it […]

Going to Gartner

Going to Gartner

By Merv Adrian on November 19, 2010

This is a personal note about a professional decision. You might not be interested. If you are, read on. I’ll try to be brief. I’ve had a very fulfilling two years as an independent analyst, succeeding beyond my expectations. I established (or continued) a respected brand, gathered several thousand twitter followers, drew 80,000 blog views […]

RedMonk’s First Product: Developer Intelligence

RedMonk’s First Product: Developer Intelligence

By James Governor on October 26, 2010

“The future belongs to the companies and people that turn data into products.” – Mike Loukides, O’Reilly Radar Since I launched RedMonk with Stephen in 2002 a constant refrain has been “we don’t do numbers”. We have always been mighty skeptical about hockey stick projections and questionable survey data. But over time we both came […]

Living in the Present is SO Yesterday

Living in the Present is SO Yesterday

By Merv Adrian on August 7, 2010

It’s an occupational hazard of living in the future that analysts can begin to ignore the present – unless we make it a practice to seek it out. Here in the Valley, that can be difficult, when being a week behind the latest version of something the rest of the world hasn’t heard of yet […]

HP To Add 6000 Jobs in Sales and Service

By Merv Adrian on June 1, 2010

“…with funding to come from 9000 positions that will be eliminated as a result of HP’s successful data center and automation efforts.” My headline from today’s news.
