The M&A Dilemma: To buy or not to buy that is the question by Jon Hansen
February 13, 2015
In December I wrote a post titled IBM’s plans to corner or corral the cloud – it’s all a matter of governance based on my interview with IBM’s Pete Wharton. Wharton talked about the company’s “plan is to create an ecosystem of technology partners to extend IBM’s service capabilities to its customers.” So here is the question; […]

December 13, 2014
When IBM approached me earlier this week to talk about their recent collaborative partnership with JDA Software, I thought sure – why not.

April 4, 2014
From my very first Yes Virginia posts (Part 1 and Part 2) in September 2007, I have believed without any uncertainty that the Commonwealth of Virginia’s eVA eProcurement platform is a model that governments around the world should emulate. This is especially true given the fact that the vast majority of initiatives in the public […]
Forbes article about ERPs moving to the cloud is, according to Oracle’s Ellison, gibberish by Jon Hansen
March 6, 2014
Sometimes you just have to shake your head and wonder if anyone remembers what they said in the past and how it comes across today. For example, back in 2008 Oracle’s Larry Ellison said that “we have redefined cloud computing to include everything that we already do.” Dismissing it with the fashion industry analogy that […]
