From time-to-time, we all like to reminisce. Research suggests that there are both physiological and psychological reasons for the tendency.
While that makes sense, I also find it an interesting exercise in that it can provide a perspective of time regarding where someone was compared to where they are today.
Take today’s post.
Shortly after launching the Procurement Insights blog in May 2007, I was contacted by Ariba, asking if I would like to interview them about their “latest contract win in the Healthcare sector.”
In those days, there were very few blogs, and therefore the medium was considered a new and exciting venue through which providers could connect with the market.
As I read through it again for the first time in many years, it was an interesting piece, especially given Ariba’s disclosure that they would “re-engineer their software to adapt to the on-demand or SaaS world?”
While the post raises many questions today, the one that immediately comes to my mind is how successful were they with their SaaS “re-engineering” efforts?
