Microsoft recently announced several updates to Windows Azure. You can read about all the details on Scott Guthrie’s blog (ScottGu’s Blog), but there was one item that really caught my attention: Active Directory Application Access Enhancements. This feature (or collection of features) was previewed over the summer and is supposed to be available by the […]

So we’ve seen a trend lately that some hype with overblown expectations but that remains a significant development.  Specifically, a blurring between the lines of what a CIO does and what a CMO or Chief Marketing Officer does. Old World CMO: Take care of the brand.  Enable greater sales through lead generation. Use external tools […]

Continuing on with the series, I want to talk about the social aspects of a patient portal.  I will freely admit that some of what I describe skirts the line of what security and privacy experts will call acceptable.  However, I think it’s possible to be social while not releasing protected health information that will […]

In the video shown here, IBM demonstrates the new features available […]

Content targeting is a hot topic in marketing circles these days.  Actually content targeting has always been a hot topic, but many content management systems didn’t support it or made it too difficult to implement.  IBM WebSphere Portal has long included the concept of content targeting through its personalization engine.  But, in the past, IBM […]

Sentiment analysis is arguably one of the fastest growing concepts in the analytics space and is poised to become a major source of information to enterprise BI programs in the very near future. The idea of receiving instant feedback from a consumer base, enabling near real-time follow-up or correction holds an incalculable ROI. Unfortunately the […]

Long before Microsoft acquired Yammer, I was impressed with the usability of the latter enterprise social tool.  Granted, they looked (and still look) more or less like Facebook, but that sort of stealing is brilliant stealing.  After all, these days pretty much everyone uses Facebook, so when new users log into Yammer for the first time, […]

Does your company have a freemium Yammer environment that pre-dates your latest Enterprise Agreement?  Do you want to have the same set of users in Yammer as you do in your on-premise Active Directory?  Wonder no longer, dear readers.
