Hotter than a Hedge Fund: SOA Integration
by Dain Hansen on Monday April 07, 2008 | Comments (0)

No there is actually no SOA-based ETF or hedge fund even. However, a recent report from Randy Heffner at Forrester seems to suggest that SOA may actually be a place that companies may want to invest; it extends the life of legacy and drives costs down through consolidation and risk avoidance. Gets you out of that rut that IT is in and helps you lower the costs while doing it.

Mining Twitter for the Enterprise: Survey your Customers' Candid Thoughts using a Social Web 2.0 Service
by Peter Laird on Sunday April 27, 2008 | Comments (5)

One BEA customer recently posted on Twitter: "hating weblogic". Another said: "F@#% you weblogic for not handling HTTP 500 errors properly." Whether you personally participate in one of the numerous internet social platforms or not, some of your customers are out there. WebLogic isn't the only brand being discussed - name the brand and there are customers voicing their opinions on these platforms. This blog entry focuses on Twitter, and shows how you can mine Twitter for feedback on your brand using a tool called TweetScan. Because of the very informal nature of Twitter, and it's low barrier to participate, it is a good channel of candid opinions on your brand. Companies like Comcast have already used TweetScan to identify and remedy customer relationship problems in a highly proactive manner. How is your brand perceived on Twitter?
SaaS Podcast Links and Notes - Key Insights into the World of SaaS, Platform as a Service (PAAS), On Demand
by Peter Laird on Thursday April 24, 2008 | Comments (0)

About two months ago I had 14 hours to spend alone in a car - I was meeting some friends out in Telluride and decided to drive it from my home near Boulder Colorado. Fortunately, I prepared myself. I stocked up on a collection of tech podcasts and made productive use of the time as I rolled through the beautiful mountains. Because I am the architect for BEA's SaaS Platform (code name Genesis), a fair number of the podcasts were focused on SaaS. This blog entry recaps the key insights from some of those SaaS podcasts. Links are also provided to the original audio.
