| Article: The Future of Software is Here, but Still in the Early Adoption Phase |

The future of software is to have a "glue" platform that is used universally throughout an organization as the primary user interface and primary provider of application functionality to employees. This platform should make it fast and easy to create new or to integrate with existing software functionality. All applications would either be built natively on the platform or integrated to the it. Large organizations could continue to use their ERP systems, but could use the platform for everything else. Small organizations could run their entire organization on it. |

| Article: The Channel Partners Cloud Manifesto |

The more I thought about "cloud computing", and "software as a service", the more indignant I become, because what no one is really saying is what the "cloud" actually represents...direct to customer. Do cloud companies really care about their supposed partners? Do we care about them as people, as productive enterprises, as the parents of the kids our own kids play soccer with? Or are those "partners" really just tools to leverage to push subscriptions until our space has matured enough that they are no longer needed? Are we thinking about our "partners" as we design our tools or perhaps more importantly, our business models?? Think about it for a second and be honest with yourself...the answer may not be nice. Given the recent hubub around a cloud computing manifesto, I felt that the industry needed a different manifesto, one based on openness towards the army of partners out there who are actually making most of this happen. It is with that backdrop that I present the Channel Partners Cloud Manifesto, 10 things that would represent a true partnership with the army of great technology companies out there. |

| As I mentioned last week, a reliance on cloud computing technologies made it very easy to move my office from point A to point B. One aspect I intentionally skipped was our network infrastructure. The cloud is pretty useless if you don’t have Internet access. For most businesses with more than a couple employees, Internet [...] ... read more >> |

| Whenever the issue of cloud computing is brought up in business circles, I get a range of responses. There are the eyes-wide-with-wonder folks, the people who truly enjoy and embrace new technology and for whom the cloud is the next great mystery they are waiting to see revealed. Then, there are the middle-of-the-roaders, the people [...] ... read more >> |

| For years, everything has been moving to computers. But it hasn’t always been easy. Many things about computers are highly technical, densely interrelated and generally frustrating. For businesses, it takes a lot of money to dive deeply into technology. Companies spend a material percentage of their budgets on IT-related products and services. The way the [...] ... read more >> |

| There’s a reasonably famous book in technology circles called “The Innovator’s Dilemma.” It basically says there are two types of innovations: those that appeal to existing markets by improving products, and those that appeal to new markets by offering new capabilities. I don’t think it’s particularly hard to be innovative. All one has to do [...] ... read more >> |

| Most new technologies go through a fairly well understood adoption cycle. The cycle suggests that, in the beginning, only a small group of adopters are interested in and willing to take a risk on the technology. Later, the middle adopters begin using it on a massive scale. Finally, a small population of late adopters begin [...] ... read more >> |

| When we speak of “cloud computing” we are typically referring to some sort of service which we use through the internet. However to most technologists a cloud tends to mean something a little bit more specific and more closely tied to a server. Up until a few years ago, you would buy a special type [...] ... read more >> |

| Lately, it seems like avoiding something or borrowing something without permission or just flat out stealing something is the key to get ahead in the world of technology. Bloomberg today published an article (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-10-21/google-2-4-rate-shows-how-60-billion-u-s-revenue-lost-to-tax-loopholes.html) describing how Google pays only a 2.4% income tax in this country thanks to various schemes called the “Double Irish& ... read more >> |

| In the course of building custom software to manage a business process, you’ll frequently find the need for functionality another company has produced and is impractical for you to build. You would never want to recreate a credit card processing gateway, a database of satellite imagery or a language translation system, for example. Instead, you [...] ... read more >> |

| The Oracle founder isn’t afraid to say and do what he wants. Sometimes it takes a guy like him to say what needs to be said. Ellison famously lambasted Salesforce.com — which offers customer relationship management software and enterprise cloud computing — in a video a year ago. He pointed out with no small sense of [...] ... read more >> |
