Phil Wainewright’s blog is an invaluable resource for commentary on new developments in the Software-as-a-Service sector. His latest post talks about an SaaS business (Crownpeak) confident enough to confront head-on the ten most frequently raised objections to the SaaS model: The complete list of myths: Fewer features Customer loses control Security is a problem Difficult …

Gates goes – at the right time
The newspapers and internet news sources (the BBC, for example) have been full of comment about Bill Gates’ decision to step down from the helm at Microsoft over the next couple of years. Comments about it being "the end of an era" are probably quite appropriate, and Gates’ timing is impeccable. Gates was the architect …

Extranet E-vacation
There will be no posts to the Extranet Evolution for a few days. I am heading down to the Vendee region of France for a week, hoping for better weather and a chance to do some cycling in the sun for a change.

Aconex selected for train station development (2)
Earlier this week, I received an email asking that I remove some content from one of my posts in early March regarding a train station project at London’s White City with which UK contractor Costain was involved. I promptly and prominently published a correction immediately underneath the original post, apologising and explaining that the inaccuracy …

Wi-fi access, again (2)
I keep returning to this topic. Latest stimulus is Peter Cochrane’s blog at Silicon.com where he provides his Guide to finding wi-fi. (By coincidence, this post was written at lunchtime in a hotel lobby in Dublin using a low(ish) cost wi-fi connection (five Euros for an hour) provided by Jury’s Inn; it was later updated …

Bloggers trusted least
According to a GlobeScan survey for the BBC-Reuters-Media Center “We Media” Forum, reported by Red Herring, "Bloggers rank lowest on the scale of trusted news sources". Given that most blogs are essentially personal journals, this is no surprise. There is absolutely no reason why they should be trusted in the same way as conventional media, …

Building blogs
Building magazine, the glossy weekly bible for the UK construction industry, has a feature this week on blogging (I would link to the feature but it doesn’t currently appear on Building‘s website and you’d probably have to register to see it any way). In addition to Building’s own bloggers, it includes links to what it …

SAP: “a load of old SoSaaS”
"A load of old SoSaaS" is how Phil Wainewright describes SAP’s latest offering in the CRM sphere. The fundamental flaw is that SAP does not fully embrace the on-demand model at all; instead it sees the on-demand model as a way to get people to try out SAP’s application at a small-scale and then migrate …

Another salesforce.com outage
The ‘blogosphere’ has been blasting salesforce.com, which suffered another service outage earlier this week (read, for example, Salesforce.com Customers Grouse About Outages, Salesforce.com Crashes Again and Almost the last word on salesforce.com’s outage). There has been much talk about service level agreements (SLAs) – which salesforce.com doesnt’ offer while several of its competitors (eg: Netsuite, …

Search engines challenged on ‘theft’
It seems some newspaper and magazine publishers are getting annoyed at internet search engines and news aggregators for "unfairly exploiting their content", according to this Financial Times article – which I found thanks to Newsgator. In this instance, therefore, far from exploiting the FT‘s content, Newsgator has enabled me to view an FT article (and …
