The Internet inside the enterprise: We don't have it, and we need it

The Internet inside the enterprise: We don’t have it, and we need it

By Dion Hinchcliffe on November 3, 2014

It’s no longer fashionable to criticize enterprise IT as it once was. That’s because the Internet has definitively won the competition and is leading the way in tech innovation. But for proactive organizations, it doesn’t have to be that way.

By Michael Fauscette on September 19, 2014

I just returned from New Orleans last evening after attending Infor’s user conference Inforum (disclosure: Infor paid my travel expenses to the event, and is an IDC client).

Salesforce and Workday - Reaffirming the Partnership
