I had the pleasure of conducting a SharePoint eDiscovery webinar with Patrick Burke of Reed Smith for the OLP last week. The subject is fascinating because finding, preserving, and reviewing SharePoint content in the litigation/investigation context can be so challenging. The metadata users add to content (e.g. workflow tasks), the web page interface that creates more native ESI than just a document, and the decentralization of SharePoint deployments make eDiscovery for SharePoint a topic unto itself. Often lost in this topic is the issue of end-user search of SharePoint.
When I talk about end-user search in SharePoint, most people just assume that the search functionality baked in to the product (Microsoft acquired FAST Search & Transfer several years back) is enough. In some cases, that will be correct, but in others it does not work to give business users efficient access to information.

The announcement made at the Oracle Marketing Cloud launch event April 30, 2014 provides insight into where major players like Oracle think the market is headed. Perhaps for some vendors, it’s time to say goodbye to IT and hello to the CMO. Or it’s time for IT and the CMO to collaborate.

My interest in Infor is in the excellent way they have integrated collaboration capabilities directly into their business applications. Rather than just providing an enterprise social network, Infor developed Ming.le, which runs seamlessly across their vertical solutions providing collaboration features directly in the context of where people are working.

As I furthered my studies and experiments with the Internet of Things writing “A Framework to Humanize the Internet of Things through Verbs” I landed on the question of “so what if we connected all of these things to the Internet?Well not so fast, and as I continued to study and experiment in the phenomenon designing mentally for the maturity model, the business models that will emerge, and the design of the industry that will ensue, I landed on the following two constructs.There is a difference between the Internet of things already built, and things that will be built.There will be categories of things already built or to be built clustered by the intelligence of said things. Once connected, some things will do more than others and the level of “smartness” will vary widely. Some of the categories I am thinking through are:...

ARCA is a leading vendor of cash solutions. Faced with unpredictable sales, the enterprise boldly re-organized its sales efforts and is now experiencing, almost two years after restructuring, 68 percent annual sales growth.
It has been said that the United States is experiencing a jobless recovery. The redesign of work is partially the cause. Are you ready to lead your organization in this environment?

New global study from MIT Sloan Management Review finds that companies face challenges in maintaining a competitive advantage with analytics, as more companies avail themselves of analytical tools and that culture is the most important factor in achieving success with analytics. This global survey of more than 2,000 business executives and personal interviews with over 30 senior managers, also finds that companies must continuously innovate with analytics to maintain the edge it affords. This is exactly what the paper I wrote about spoke of – CMOs are no longer just marketers. CMOs are the buyers of technology and they are drivers of revenue, innovation and differentiation. There’s no hope to be a blue ocean strategy company without this. But how many companies are really taking big data, analytics and culture to heart?

Ten Enterprise Software Events To Check Out And Follow The Week of May 12th, 2014
The Monday after Mother’s day was traditionally the week of the America’s SAP User Group and SAP’s big show, SAPPHIRENOW. However, this year the 20,000 plus attendee and over 250 partner sponsored show moved to June 2nd in order to avoid the traditional Mother’s Day madness for event organizer’s and sponsors. With the guilt based pull out, competitors rushed in to fill the void in this coveted time slot. In fact, the week after Mother’s Day is a great time for large events for three reasons because it:

Today Workday unveiled its latest Update, Workday 22 – including the addition of Recruiting to Workday’s HCM solution portfolio. Recruiting has been long anticipated, and already a lot previewed at earlier conferences (all the way back to Workday Rising in September 2013), but Workday 22 has a lot of new functionality, too. Contrary to the past Workday changed the release announcement format from a webcast to an event held in San Francisco to kick off a four city road show, in my view a good move, showing how far the company has come.
