Enterprise Software No Longer Yahoo's
Cup Of Tea
Enterprise Software No Longer Yahoo's
Cup Of Tea
10/31/2003 06:18 PMRemember when "enterprise portals" were a big deal? Back when Yahoo
was struggling to figure out where they were going to make money as
the online advertising market took its (temporary) hiatus, they had
this vision of taking their "portal" technology and bringing it to the
enterprise. They made a big splash about it when it launched, but you
didn't hear much about it after that. That's probably because not too
many people were interested. Now, Yahoo has announced that
they'
re shutting down the division and getting on with their life as a
consumer play. They say they'll still be selling some enterprise
products, with a focus on enterprise instant messaging, but it's
certainly not going to be a big part of their business.
Customers Angry Over Enterprise Software
Customers Angry Over Enterprise Software
02/11/2004 09:38 PMIf you've been involved in the buying or selling of enterprise
software, you're likely aware that much of it is something of a scam.
The prices are quite flexible, and the "real" costs show up much
later, when people realize that (a) the product doesn't really work
the way they wanted it to (b) it needs ridiculous amounts of expensive
customization, maintenance and training and (c) the vendor is always
breathing down their neck to pay for an "upgrade" and service
contract. As it stands, the incentives for the vendors are to make
the initial price seem low, but to make sure the actual software
doesn't work very well. It appears that customers are starting to
catch on and
increasingly angry about standard practices in enterprise
software. They're also (finally!) threatening to stop playing
into the system and changing their buying habits. They're training
their own people to support the system, they're renegotiating
maintenance contracts and they're switching to "more accommodating"
vendors. Clearly, there's room for companies to come in with much
more reasonable offerings. In some cases, I imagine this is going to
take the form of ASP or hosted offerings, but those are still limited
depending on what the customer needs. It could make sense for a
company to pull a PR move and start advertising much more transparent
pricing plans to better attract customers who feel more comfortable
knowing what they're really paying for.

11/18/2003 08:05 AMThis question is behind most of Microsoft's recent antitrust problems.
Microsoft's defenders often point out that Linux distributions include
not just Web browsers and multimedia software, but office suites,
graphics packages, and many other programs that are not "part of the
operating system." This is true, but in the Linux distribution you can
easily replace one browser with another, and you are free to use
whatever multimedia playback program you like. And now, although it
doesn't seem like a related topic, let's talk about modems and network
cards for a moment.

Apple's Next Operating System
Apple's Next Operating System
06/28/2004 02:49 PMThere will be a lot to like about Apple's next operating system, OS
X 10.4, aka "Tiger",
when it comes out sometime next year. In his keynote today at the
Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, Steve Jobs said
Apple will be moving the bar further ahead of Microsoft.
The only hardware announcement was several new displays -- as usual, great
industrial design at reasonably affordable prices. I'm very tempted by
the new 20-inch model that will be on sale next month.
But this gathering is for software developers, and the bulk of the
talk was about the operating system. There's plenty of interesting
stuff here.
The best feature for average users will be the built-in search,
something MIcrosoft is also working to improve in its next OS, called
Longhorn. Assuming it works as advertised, what Apple calls "Spotlight" make much shorter work of a common woe for computer users: finding
what's on our hard disk.
The ability to hold video
conferences with up to four people at once, and audio with up to
10, is another nice upcoming feature. The multimedia folks at Apple
have been busy.
Jobs spent a fair amount of time talking about the native inclusion of
RSS into an
upcoming version of the Safari browers, and a "personal clipping"
service. There's a special search function just for RSS; I'm not clear
on whether it's searching via one of the main RSS search engines,
whether Apple will write its own or whether it's only searching your
designated feeds. More on that later.
I was dazzled by a real advance in scripting: Automator,
an application that will make it much easier for regular folks to wire
together various functions from various appliations. Great stuff.
There's lots more, of course, but the main thing to remember is that
this product could be as much as a year (or more) away. Apple's
announcements today, so far ahead of the actual release of the
software, are designed to get the software developers excited enough
to build of these features natively in their own applications. I hope
they do.
