What if IBM Software Got Simple?

What if IBM Software Got Simple?

By James Governor on January 10, 2012

Last month I attended IBM’s 10th Annual [Steve] Mills event, when industry analysts converge to hear what Software Group has been up to, and where its going. There is always a ton of content, which makes it hard to summarize, so I won’t even try. But there are a couple of key narratives I want […]

By James Governor on October 22, 2010

I was in Copenhagen last week for VMworld Europe 2010. Monday was an analyst briefing so I wasn’t particularly surprised when VMware CEO Paul Maritz spoke at length about his strategy to attract developers to VMware as a platform.  After all most analysts are curious about what happens next. But seeing Maritz give the same […]
