Stop Selling Apps: SaaS is a Service
Read more: Stop Selling Apps: SaaS is a ServiceIncreasingly, I’m seeing organizations change their buying habits, at least in theory. Vendor selections are no longer the total domain of functional requirements as they once were.

Work Life balance and the next generation
Business Week had this article about work life balance. While it’s not in my general realm of technology, I think it has some loose lessons in terms of learning and the capabilities of the next generation. The collaborative nature and the ability to multi task are things that emerging generations will improve upon greatly. Obviously…
