A Questionable Quote #2
November 16, 2016
My recent ISM – Zycus Webinar stimulated some interesting exchanges with the sizable audience. I say sizable audience because I think it is important for you to know that the discussion and corresponding poll result actually came from a healthy pool of respondents. In short, it would not be unreasonable to assume that the numbers […]
Poll Results From Zycus – ISM Webinar Paints An Interesting Procurement Picture
November 16, 2016
I just finished giving my webinar on the Zycus – ISM #Horizon2016 conference, and the results of the 4 polls taken are to many eye opening . . . even surprising. In this first in a series of posts, I will share with you those results – and yes, a picture is indeed worth a […]
Wall Street And The Analyst Firms Are Dead . . . Long Live The New DO-ERS!
February 24, 2016
Not that long ago I wrote about Zycus and their proud proclamation that they are independent and free from the reliance on traditional money sources such as VCs and Wall Street. I have never been a big fan of Wall Street for pretty much the same reasons as most everyone else. If you have seen […]
How does Wall Street and Venture Capitalist money influence service provider transparency?
January 27, 2016
I have been getting a lot of interesting feedback regarding my last post about Zycus. In one discussion, I had expressed my surprise regarding how frank they were about the market, the competition, where they are weak, and where they are strong. I could not help but wonder why they were so open. The response I received was […]
Referring to themselves as the last of the great independents, Zycus call was unexpected and interesting
January 26, 2016
I must admit that I was a little surprised when I received an e-mail from Zycus indicating that they wanted to talk with me to provide an update on their company. It is not because I am not a good conversationalist. I think that I can be an interesting, delightful, and perhaps even entertaining contributor to any […]
Musings For A New Year: Do vendors have to make it in the U.S. to be successful?
January 12, 2016
Editor’s Note: The following are musings from a mind with too much caffeine, a computer, and observational inclinations. As such, beyond what is plainly written, there is an underlying message. Do you know what it is? If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere . . . – Lyrics from the song New York, New […]
Addressing Wiehe’s alleged accusations of being Big Foot with an agenda by Jon Hansen

By now you have likely read my previous post A Material Change at SciQuest?, in which I shared with you the information I had received from multiple sources within the company. Included were a series of audio excerpts from their recent Q2 Scoop session. Another of the excerpts – which you will be able to access by clicking […]
How effective are vendor videos in promoting their brand and services by Jon Hansen
April 3, 2014
Earlier today I receive the link to Year in the Life candidate cloudBuy’s new video. As a 2014 New Wave company, I was of course interested in the video for a number of reasons. To start, and in the context of my July 2013 post “Recent Zycus video demonstrates that even though you are “on” […]
