I have heard this statement made in one form or another by countless traditionally hardware-focused technology vendors over the years, most recently by the players in the unified communications market.

The ring of the bell launched Polycom Strategy Day. Leading up to the event Polycom generated a lot of buzz in the UC&C industry by teasing the market with...

A strange dynamic continues to present itself in the mobile business software sector. Despite high satisfaction levels on the part of current users and a fairly straightforward ROI story, potential customers blame “unclear ROI benefits” as a major reason for delaying implementation. Is this a marketing failure on the part of vendors and channels? ...

Some of the most exciting technology topics today include social search, data mining, and, in general, big-data analytics. These technology trends can determine some very personal decisions (e.g., which restaurant to go to), but can also have a very powerful impact on broader investor decisions and financial markets.

Last night I came back from our 2012 Growth, Innovation, and Leadership (GIL) Congress, which was held in San Jose, CA. GIL is different from most other industry events for several reasons.

It is entirely possible that the Black Hat Conference was set in Las Vegas simply as an ironic statement about the state of information security today. Everyone is gambling. For hackers, the buy-in cost to attack a massive number of websites through simple Web scripts, spam, and malware is minimal. But with a slightly larger investment of time an...
