Well, maybe the title is a bit misleading. The title of this post describes the results of my monthly poll for February (on hiatus this month as I’ll be primarily be using all of my social media mettle to get as many of my analyst, press, users, parts etc. in my universe to come together [...]

I have been guest posting here on Outsiders for only a short time. After this post, one may wonder whether I will be invited back for more, or not. So, I will quickly get to the point. Two things happened during this past week which drove me to write this post.
Mark Benioff wrote a great [...]

Leading up to the SugarCon event, I will be highlighting some of our partners speaking at the event. SugarCRM has created an amazing ecosystem of technology, ISV and VARs in only a few short years. These companies are doing a lot of cool things that either tie-in to SugarCRM, or simply better enable your CRM [...]

I am supposed to be finishing up a slide deck for a conference speech I am giving (which was due on Friday) and also extending invites to customers for SugarCon (maybe if some of you readers register I can kill at least two birds here – please?). But in my usual scatterbrained manner I was [...]

This year’s event is already proving to be bigger and better than ever. More tracks, more speakers, more fun, more…everything.
Stay tuned for some awesome keynotes, and be sure to check out the session tracks on the agenda page. There are [...]

I had an interesting Twitter exchange today with analyst turned social guru Esteban Kolsky. (If you’re not already following him – do so now) I asked the twitterverse what they felt the possibility of “the browser as the desktop” -thinking about how cloud-based software makes desktop operating systems (at least anything heavy) nearly obsolete.
Think about [...]

It is already shaping up to be a crazy week here at Sugar HQ. All employees are in town for a week of meetings – as we prepare to continue our record growth into 2010.
So, needless to say – this week will be a quiet one for Outsiders. Speaking of Outsiders, the blog was named [...]

I think most of us are more happy than sad that 2009 is drawing to a close. In the global sense, 2009 sucked. Plain and simple. But if you’re a silver-lining type of guy (which I am not) you can say that at least we all learned about the value of hard work, the importance [...]

I received a comment/question on my last post. The individual asked me to explain how Microsoft is more application-centric in its cloud vision, and to better define my definition of the cloud. I responded in the comments section, but I liked my definition so much I wanted to make a post out of it.
Below is [...]

It is odd to see a company filled with open source wonks excited about working closely with Microsoft. However, the guys in Redmond have a pretty strong vision for cloud computing in Azure – one that I personally feel is different than anyone making a major play for the cloud today.
Why? Well, for a number [...]
