Ahhh, the Wonders of Technology!

Ahhh, the wonders of technology! I can sit and write this blog whilst waiting for an RAC man to fix my broken down car, stranded as I am, on a London arterial car park. Whatever happened to the boast that we would all be rescued from roadside boredom within 40 minutes? Read more

Large Offices, Glass, Chrome, and Furniture from Star Trek

This week I attended a meeting within the offices of one of the UK’s largest software houses. Having never been there before I was struck with how impressive the building appears as you approach by road. It is an imposing and formidable structure, very angular and much glass. This feat of modern architecture is in stark contrast to the barren “wasteland” that surrounds it.
Even before entering the building, everything about the construction speaks size. Read more

You cannot be serious!

Posted in Microsoft Dynamics, IT Success, business goals, Microsoft on March 27, 2008 at 2:28 pm
“The biggest decision we’ve made is to push into business applications,” declared Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at the Dynamics-based Convergence conference in Florida last week. “I still get asked “is Microsoft a serious player in business applications?’” The answer it seems is, yes. “This is mission-critical for us,” thundered Ballmer. (myCustomer.com 18/03/08)
The question of whether Microsoft is serious about business software is really a non-starter. Read more

Live the Dream

Every business has a dream. If not, why bother spending so much time and effort on something which other people are doing already? The difference is some businesses are ‘living the dream’ whilst others merely ‘talk the dream’. Allow me to explain. Read more

“Where There’s a Will…”

Another day and another government IT project running into trouble! Many of you might be expecting now a list of 10 reasons why projects fail or succeed, but I will not go down that route. Instead, there were two meetings I had this week which illustrate the difference between success and failure in business projects, or rather the potential for both. Read more

Microsoft and Yahoo! What’s the end game?
By Moshe Zeidman in Reader
Posted in IT strategy, business goals, Collaboration, Microsoft on February 11, 2008 at 10:26 am
Let’s say for arguments sake that Microsoft is successful in its takeover of Yahoo! Where does Microsoft see the end game? Granted that the biggest driver here is advertising revenue, but is that it? Will we get a Google imitation - just some software originally developed ‘the old way’, client-server and standalone products, others online apps? Read more

Meetings, Rigor Mortis, and Management Consultants

Businesses do meetings. They do lots of meetings! There is nothing more uninspiring than going into a meeting knowing from the outset that little progress is likely to be made in getting past a business obstacle. Hours can go by and the sum total achievement might be an in-depth knowledge of the constituent minerals of a bottle of Evian. Read more

Where were you during the Winter Sales? In the street, online, or just at home - not bothered? With five consecutive interest rate rises, confidence undermined by turbulence in financial markets and the collapse of Northern Rock, retailers have warned for some time that things might become unstuck in the retail sales market this Xmas.

What Are Your New Year IT Resolutions?
By Moshe Zeidman in Reader
Posted in Staff retention, IT Success, business goals, Uncategorized on January 2, 2008 at 12:32 pm
New Years Eve, and a friend asked me “what’s going to be the next big thing in the coming year”? (Perhaps you can tell what type of parties I go to!) I was just about to launch into my “here’s where I start sounding knowledgeable as I’m in the business and must have a thing or two to say about the subject“, when a nagging voice inside my head asked me “why’s he so interested in this right now “?
