Death To The Dancing Paperclip

May 5, 2005

Has anyone else noticed that with each new rendition of Windows, particularly in MS Word, the "help" factor (otherwise known as the "idiot" factor)� keeps getting ratcheted up? MS Word used to be a very basic, stripped� down� word processing solution. That was great. We thought for ourselves.

Unless you're referring to the opalescent green dude from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

This is an error made by so many people in business that today, using the word correctly sounds "odd." It may sound odd, but the word "data" is plural. The singular form of the word is "datum."

Hosted CRM Plus A Little More

May 3, 2005

Hosted CRM provider NetSuite recently announced its release of NetSuite CRM+, a full-service, hosted-delivery CRM product with some extras.

Unless you've been living in a closet for the past year, you will have noticed that the hosted CRM market is heating up considerably. Try reading the business and technology news on a daily basis without coming across information about Siebel or Salesforce.com, plus smaller players such as Contactual, Salesnet or NetSuite.

Shocking News: CRM Doesn't Implement Itself

April 28, 2005

First, I'll say I hate the term CRM and always have. It's nebulous, fatuous, non-descriptive and confusing, and if you ask 99 people what it means, you'll get 99 different definitions. That said, I believe in the concept of CRM and bristle a bit when other news organizations and analysts talk about "the failure of CRM" as if it's the fault of the concept or the software that enables it.

It appears that someone agrees with me.

Perseus Releases New Web Survey Tool

April 26, 2005

Far away are the olden days when companies could put content and functionality onto their Web sites, cross their fingers and hope. It really didn't matter if people had problems with your Web site...it wasn't their primary mode of communication with you, and it wasn't necessary to respond to customer e-mails. No one did, after all.

When companies finally began monitoring how their virtual customers were interacting with their Web sites, the surveys were cumbersome, limited� and needed to be designed by professionals.

Grab Your Towel, The Vogons Are Coming

April 25, 2005

""'People of Earth, your attention please,' a voice said, and it was wonderful. Wonderful perfect quadraphonic sound with distortion levels so low as to make a brave man weep.

'This is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council,' the voice continued. 'As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system, and regrettably your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes.
