SAP, EMC, and Open Text - Who cares?

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 22-Feb-2010

Over the last few weeks there has been a flurry of media interest in the fact that SAP is reselling EMC Documentum and Open Text products. It's a flurry (bordering on blizzard) that is of little or no relevance to actual buyers of these software products ... Continue Reading

Vendor Tip: perform some basic research before disqualifying prospects

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 3-Feb-2010

Oracle and SharePoint

Added By Tony Byrne on 26-Jan-2010

Google vs. SharePoint can be Apples vs. Oranges

Added By Shawn Shell on 12-Jan-2010

Since the birth of SharePoint, Microsoft has marketed it as an internal collaboration platform, during a period when Intranet managers increasingly see collaboration as a high-priority service. Now, players such as Google and HyperOffice are trying to repeat SharePoint's success, using an on-again, off-again "SharePoint Killer" marketing tactic combined with the idea of creating a kind of Intranet-in-a-box alternative. However ... Continue Reading

Movable Type 5 -- too little, too late?

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 11-Jan-2010

Noted blog package WordPress keeps coming out with maybe more releases than you'd care for, fixing exploits and bugs, but also steadily improving functionality. By comparison, it has been very quiet around Movable Type. That is, until last week, when the long-awaited version 5 was released. So was it worth the wait? ... Continue Reading

Twitter is not just microblogging anymore?

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 4-Jan-2010

Twitter apparently isn't just for "microblogging" anymore. Co-founder Biz Stone would now describe it as an "information network." So there you have it: the activity you engage in on Twitter is now "information networking." Thankfully, everyone's already calling it "tweeting" instead ... Continue Reading
