What do the cloud, collaboration and virtualization have in common?

January 27, 2012

With so much talk and buzz about cloud (computing, storage, application sharing) and Virtualization (server & desktop), it can seem as if though these two IT consolidation trends are trumping the Collaboration movement.  Service Providers across the map have readied themselves for cloud computing by partnering with infrastructure and networking providers.  Carrier clouds are all the rage: If you’re not selling cloud your customers are likely looking at alternatives.  Virtualization services have dramatically increased since the days of pervasive computing, the reawakening VMware anything (server appliances and server blades) and screen scraping data movers and mungers (aka Citrix).

Microsoft Purchases Skype and Why this Makes Perfect Business Sense

May 10, 2011

Analysis of:Microsoft to Buy Skype for $8.5 Billion in Catch-Up Bid | www.bloomberg.com

As a UC Collaboration expert, and one experienced in the field of video acquistions, the announcement of Microsoft's $8.5B all cash deal certainly looks RICH on the surface, but fills a HUGE product void for the company. This software giant recognizes the world is getting flatter and smaller because the planet is increasingly MORE CONNECTED. At the core of consumer and enterprise connections is Unified Communication and Collaboration which will allow the greatest number of human touch points.

RPX Corporation - Fast Track IPO for NPE Insurance Policy Writer Circa 1999?

May 4, 2011

Analysis of:IPO Pick of the Week: RPX Corporation | seekingalpha.com

RPX Corporation is the self proclaimed NPE Fighter that 'reduces patent litigation costs'. This fledgling company, with little more than 2 years of full operating income, is poised to IPO as fast as many 'internet boom and bust' startups. Will RPX be different? Is RPX's business model sustainable? Can RPX Corp turn patent licensing, a traditionally 'lumpy' revenue model, into a smooth predictable quarter on quarter performance? How big is the market?

For the big growth, Best Buy needs to look far beyond their stores

March 24, 2011

Analysis of:Best Buy CEO Dunn Reboots to Win Back Customers From Wal-Mart, Amazon.com | www.bloomberg.com

Best Buy’s greatest point of leverage is not in a new store design, or revamped store assistance, but in getting CE and PC suppliers to bring products to market with use-model and lifestyle changes to help fuel a whole new revenue-pumping cycle of healthy demand, for both Best Buy and the entire industry.

EADS posts a loss and cancels its dividend

March 10, 2010

In August 2009, I have contributed an analysis and predicted that EADS is in for hard time in the next couple of years and here it is, the Euro 1.5B net profit in 2008 was turned into a net loss of Euro 763M and the cancellation of dividend, an extreme measure for a European /government owned company. The worse is yet to come as the company speeds ups production and invades its backlog.

Arrow Trucking --follow ups thoughts on its real troubles

March 8, 2010

I wrote my analysis in January commenting on a company that did violated a Federal law of plant closure and the obligation of its Directors and Officers to exercise prudence in care and loyalty ot the various stakeholder,but as the regulators state now, this is a Chapter 7 filing without a precedent where the company assets and Liabilities are unknown, & no officers appeared in court or offered any explanation and where the secured lenders were defrauded..its sounds more than chapter 7.
