Preparing for Office 2.0 2007
February will be gone by tomorrow, and it’s time for us to start preparing for the second edition of the Office 2.0 Conference. Last time, we had less than six weeks to get everything ready. This time around, I would love to get a little bit more than six months, just to make sure that we do not repeat the same mistakes. At present time, we are tentatively set for September 5-6 in San Francisco, CA. If these dates do not work for you, for any reason, please let me know. In the meantime, here are some more details on what you should expect for this upcoming event. [Continue…]

Who Needs BPM as a Service
Two weeks ago, a couple of independent BPM vendors announced plans for the release of BPM platforms to be offered as a service. This got the BPM digerati all excited, and for a day or two, the most enthusiastic commentators were raving about the prospect of getting BPM on tap directly from your web browsers. Then, some cared to read the small prints, and quickly realized that they would have to wait a little bit more for their newfound dreams to come true. [Continue…]

Here Comes the Fun
As anticipated, Google finally released a commercial version of Google Apps. For $50 per user and per year, you get 10 GB of storage per account (instead of the 2.82 GB currently offered with free accounts), shared calendar resources, APIs, support, and a couple other things, which are described in details on this page. So let’s take a look at what this release really means for the Office 2.0 movement in general, and Office 2.0 workers in particular. [Continue…]

How is Your Migration Going?
Over the past six months or so, I have met more and more people who have decided to make the switch from Office 1.0 to Office 2.0. Along the way, these pioneers are finding out what works and what does not, and are accumulating a wealth of experience that would most certainly benefit early adopters down the road. So, how about we compile them into some best practices? [Continue…]

Help Needed for Web Scraping
The good folks at Zoho recently added a new feature to Zoho Sheet that allows external tabular data to be dynamically embedded within a spreadsheet, then syndicated back through JSON and RSS feeds. It’s pretty cool really, for it allows one to perform some complex web scraping without having to install any piece of software. Nevertheless, it only works with tabular data, and most data I would like to scrape from the web tends to be found outside of tables. Would anyone know about some online service that I could use for such a purpose? [Continue…]

What is Wrong with BPM
Last year, I wrote a fairly controversial post explaining why nobody cares about BPM. The main idea was that most BPM projects are implemented by software vendors and system integrators, with little participation from customers themselves. As a result, BPM products remain at the level of frameworks, rather than being promoted to the level of platforms. It has been nine months since I wrote this article, and twelve since Intalio moved to an open-source model. This time and experience gave me a better understanding of the problem at hand. [Continue…]

Platform Power
Three months ago, I made the transition from Salesforce.com to SugarCRM, mainly as a way to learn what was available out there. I was extremely impressed by this open-source alternative, and described what I liked about it in details in last week’s CRM Roundup. Nevertheless, I decided to revert back to Salesforce.com, and completed my reverse migration today. Here is why. [Continue…]

Your Office 2.0 Setup
Our Weekly Office 2.0 Roundup is generating a fair amount of interest, and some readers have suggested that we put together a summary page featuring the winners and challengers in each category. That’s pretty easy, and should be a lot less biased that My Office 2.0 Setup, so here is Your Office 2.0 Setup. This is a work in progress, which we expect to complete by the end of the year. In the meantime, make sure to cast your vote every week so that we make this totally unscientific survey as meaningful as it could be. [Continue…]
