Profits and Manage Change While Reducing
the Costs and Risks of Expansion 06/23/2004 03:08 AM
It’s a myth that the information technology (IT) requirements of emerging and midsize businesses are simpler than those of large enterprises. Virtually every day, we interact with the technology and business leaders of midsize companies whose IT demands not only rival the requirements of much larger companies, but in many cases exceed them.Fortunately, emerging and midsize businesses can resolve the dilemma of updating their outmoded IT infrastructure without massive one-time investments in technology. New technologies, such as Microsoft® .NET, enable companies to leverage previous investments in technology while step-by-step integrating their business systems to enable an efficient, cost-effective, and flexible solution to driving and managing growth.

Microsoft's Urge for Emerging Business

Microsoft's Urge for Emerging Business 01/03/2005 07:43 AM
You'd expect Microsoft to keep a spotlight on its big moneymakers Windows, Office and Servers -- after all, they do generate more than 80% of the company's sales. But the software giant also is busy readying its so-called emerging-business units for their close-up. For two of the four, MSN and Home and Entertainment, which represent 15% of the company's trailing 12-month sales, the future is nigh, say analysts. Microsoft is pumping substantial sums and energy into those often-neglected units, hoping the investment will drive future growth.

Viable Vision Consulting 04/08/2005 05:02 AM
Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt, author of the international best-selling business book “The Goal” made an unrefusable offer to CEO, Presidents, and Business Owners attending the April 5th Viable Vision Offer Event in Bogota. His offer – apply for a “Viable Vision” and he will send someone to collect the data from your company, devise your Viable Vision, then spend 2 hours discussing YOUR company and Viable Vision for no additional charge. No strings, the only catch was that the top executive had to be in attendance to be eligible for the free vision work. Twenty-four executives out of the approximately 40 that were in attendance took Dr Goldratt up on his offer before leaving the event. Goldratt expects that several more applications will be received in the coming weeks as executives have an opportunity to discuss the concepts with their teams. [PRWEB Apr 8, 2005]

Outsourcing to India in Business Week
and at MIT... 01/07/2004 04:17 PM

Not all of our students will see this cover story in Business Week on the migration of high-paying jobs to India.  But most attended a lecture in 6.171 by the folks who run MIT's latest big IT effort:  OpenCourseWare (http://ocw.mit.edu), which distributes syllabi, problem sets, and other materials from MIT classes (at least one semester after the class is actually given).  During the lecture the students learned that, although ocw.mit.edu is a purely static .html site, it is produced with a database-backed content management system.  In fact, of the $11 million donated by foundations to support the service, about $2 million was spent on technology and the salaries of folks at MIT who oversee the technology.

The more sophisticated portion of ocw.mit.edu is a 100 percent Microsoft show.  A student asks the speakers why they chose Microsoft Content Management Server, expecting to hear a story about careful in-house technical evaluation done by people sort of like them.  The answer:  "We read a Gartner Group report that said the Microsoft system was the simplest to use among the commercial vendors and that open-source toolkits weren't worth considering."

Students began to wake up.

A PowerPoint slide contained the magic word "Delhi".  It turns out that most of the content editing and all of the programming work for OpenCourseWare was done in India, either by Sapient, MIT's main contractor for the project, or by a handful of Microsoft India employees who helped set up the Content Management Server.

Thus did students who are within months of graduating with their $160,000 computer science degrees learn how modern information systems are actually built, even by institutions that earn much of their revenue from educating American software developers.

Goldratt defines a Viable Vision as the specific strategy and tactics to turn a company’s current sales level into their profit level within 4 years. For example, a $100 million sales company will achieve a $100 million profit level within 4 years. [PRWEB Mar 9, 2005]

Sony's entertainment business is killing
its electronics business

Sony's entertainment business is killing
its electronics business 05/11/2004 01:58 AM
Derek Slater takes Sony to task over its new music-download service and iPod-like player.

Sony's acquisition of a couple of minor entertainment companies has had untold consequences. It's a poison pill that is killing Sony, one piece at a time.

Back from 1976-1984, Sony was the company that spent hundreds of millions on the defense of its VCR, bringing it all the way to the Supreme Court, arguing that the entertainment industry didn't have any right to its business-model; that if new technology could make the old business irrelevant, that was tough shit, and the movie companies needed to stop pewling and get with the program (they did, and made lots of money, besides).

But ever since Sony "aquired" Columbia, it's been acting like its electronics business was a minor business unit that couldn't afford to disrupt its precious entertainment arm (despite the fact that the entertainment arm's contributions to Sony's bottom line are minimal when compared to the gadget biz). When the first MP3 players appeared in the market, from little companies like Creative Labs, Sony brought out proprietary devices that played stupid formats like RealAudio and OpenAG, which no one wanted to hear. On the other hand, these formats did come with use-restrictions that kept Sony's music execs from getting too anxious and sad.

The result was that Creative Labs, a little outfit in Singapore, ate Sony's lunch, followed by a bunch of late diners to the table, including a bunch of no-name Korean companies, and most recently, Apple. Sony, who invented the walkman and made billions off of it, has now become an irrelevant player in the personal stereo market, with a market share that's barely a blip on the chart.

And Sony -- a company legendary for tis ability to refine its designs to capitalize on lessons learned in the market -- keeps on repeating the same mistakes, as Derek points out:

Apparently, Sony's hard drive player cannot play MP3s, WMA and (of course) Apple FairPlay-locked AAC. It only plays the Sony's proprietary ATRAC3 format; if it's like Sony's MiniDisc players, forcing consumers to convert to ATRAC3 also forces them to accept certain DRM restrictions. In related news, the Washington Post and New York Times both deemed Connect embarassing, noting its poor interface, proprietary DRM format and codec, copying restrictions ... too many to count.
