Standing Out in the Clouds

In addition, it requires building a meaningful ecosystem of third-party relationships that enhance the functional capabilities of the cloud vendor's offerings and create additional channels to market to expand the vendor's reach. These alliances must go beyond shallow press release announcements, or "Barney partnerships," to provide a unique value to potential customers. Making them meaningful means being selective and putting a concerted effort into making them work...

Don’t Try This at Home: Overclocked AMD FX Chip Breaks Speed Record

"I think the main thing for AMD was to issue a good press release on the first day of the Intel Developer Forum," Pund-It's King suggested. "The real-world impact of an overclocked performance record is somewhat limited; stealing a competitor's groceries, on the other hand, can be quite nutritious."

Lenovo’s Tablet Trio to Take On the iPad

"Yup, more tablets. What stands out from their press release is that this is 'the first Android tablet certified for Netflix,'" Allen Nogee, principal analyst for wireless technology at In-Stat, told TechNewsWorld.

The Data Experience Transformation

Data has become a service. I can't help but wonder what the data experience will be, but I think it might look a lot like Pervasive's new product, called "Pervasive Galaxy." According to the press release, "Pervasive Galaxy is a combination of service marketplace, revenue sharing, integration store and community that serves its OEMs and ISVs." Sounds like an experience, no? ...

A Peek Behind the Curtain of My CRM Laboratory

Our website was conceived as an in-joke. From the obviously grandiose description of the company (the photo of our "headquarters" building depicts the Northrop HQ in the early 1960s, for example) to press releases that parody corporate-speak, the site doesn't take itself very seriously.
