But, ever the modest one, Steve neglected to mention that there was a nice little video of him reporting out from a brainstorming session on the future of Salesforce’s nonprofit CRM platform. I’m fortunate to get to see […]

But in a long New York Times magazine story about Toyota’s corporate culture and business success, the following paragraph jumped out at me: Toyota is as much a philosophy as a business, a patchwork of traditions, apothegms and precepts that don’t translate […]

Ryan Ozimek’s piece “Islands and Bridges, the building has begun” is a great hallelujah to the power and importance of integration via open APIs. It’s clear that PICnet and ONE/Northwest are drinking form the same cup, when Ryan writes: The power of open source, combined with best of breed proprietary systems with open APIs give organizations the […]
