Blinded by the Light
I’m not really an uber Bruce fan, but I’m going to exploit his fame to make a point here. I once sent a “Greetings from Asbury Park” CD to Sam Palmisano. Someone once told me that IBM execs aren’t allowed to accept gifts over $25 and there are some rules, I do obey. He thanked [...]
The Rebirth of the SI Market: Anyone in the Mood for a Fat Margin?
I had a great briefing this week with IBM’s Dan Gisolfi of its Emerging Technology Group. I was able to clear up a few things.

Enterprise 2.0 and TCO?
