Considering the Cloud - The Fundamentals

on August 24, 2010 by Heidi Gigler

A recent 2010 survey by the Yankee Group showed that enterprises are now the fastest adopters of the cloud. In less than a decade Google, Amazon, and Salesforce.com went from unknown ideas to global market powers.

"With roots in supercomputing and many other technical disciplines, cloud computing unleashed an entirely new economic reality: technology-enabled enterprises built on low-cost, flexible, and limitless technical infrastructures".

The Users Speak, and Sprint Wins

on January 29, 2010 by Steve Coker

You have to love independent surveys. I can stand up in front of customers all day and tell them how good a job Sprint is doing, but they tend to discount what I say since I work for Sprint. You can’t really blame them; they hear that from everybody. So it’s great when a third-party survey – particularly one done by two well-respected organizations – comes along and makes the point.
