- Stop whining about ERP failures
"Large ERP systems provide an organization with centralized planning, control, and analysis capabilities. These systems do work, but implementations are complex because the software reaches so deeply into processes and departments across the buyer’s organization. It’s hard to convince disparate groups in any company to engage cooperatively for the express purpose of instituting change." Yeah, they call it "enterprise" because it ain't cheap.

- There’s more to cloud computing than Amazon
"If you’ve got to suddenly turn up four thousand servers to handle a flash crowd, you’re going to need Amazon. But if you’re like most mainstream businesses looking at cloud today, you’ve got a cash crunch you’ve got to get through, you’re deploying at most dozens of servers this year, and you’re not putting up and tearing down servers hour by hour. Don’t get fooled into thinking that Amazon’s the only possible option for you. It’s just one of many. Every cloud infrastructure services platform is better for some needs than others."
