Business Technology Blog

Needless to say the title says it all.  With the ever changing MAC vs PC battle customers will come in all flavors – MACs, PCs, Linux or even a mixture.   The benefit of a hosted / Cloud based environment and SPLA licensing is flexibility.
The ability to add new users and servers very quickly and the [...]

Who says you can’t take it with you? Well, at least with respect to the Engage, Inc. blog for Amazon’s Kindle users, that saying certainly no longer applies. That’s right, Engage’s content is now syndicated for Amazon Kindle readers in addition to RSS, Feedburner and the like.
It’s not that anyone expects [...]

Over the past several years I have to say that rarely (if ever) have I seen a portfolio of products as capable of helping transform industries as that which I see today.  From visualization tools to collaboration platforms to IP communications and automated workflows – it’s all there in some form or fashion.Â

HIMSS: First Day

April 6th, 2009

Our feet our sore, and our backs ache, but we’ve survived the first day of HIMSS. And what a day it was. Even with four hours to explore the show floor between periods of assigned booth duty, we didn’t even get a chance to go to the North Hall. That will have to be one of tomorrow’s goal.

Lately, the acronym SaaS [...]
