SAP Founders 1988 — Klaus Tschira On The Left [Full disclosure: SAP has not been a client in many years, and then my work with them was quite limited.] I’ve always had a warm spot in my heart for SAP. When I published my first (and thus far only) 700+ page book in […] [Full disclosure: Workday is a client, but I attended their Tech Summit 2012 and a portion of Workday Rising 2012 as an “influencer,” and my related travel expenses were reimbursed by Workday.] You may have thought that everything that could be said about Workday’s Tech Summit 2012 had already been posted, but […] Me And Mr. Bill! I’m writing this as Fort Myers is experiencing a relatively mild summer (compared to the rest of the country’s astonishing heat, forest fires, and deluge of political ads) while getting enough rain to float all our boats. Lake Devonwood is almost up to our pool cage, and it’s […] Pattern Recognition With The Cookie Monster [This post is dedicated to Marc Maloy, SVP Worldwide Sales at HireRight, just because he asked for it.

Based on their feedback, I’ve now touched on […] The End Of An Era Is Near [Disclosure: This is part memoir and part advertorial, where the advertiser is Bloom & Wallace.] If you’ve been wondering about the long delay since my last blog post, read on to learn about one project on which I’ve been working. That project has been to finalize […] A Business Analyst’s Work Is Never Done Originally published, 2/4/2011, I’ve updated this post on 1/5/2012 to emphasize the tremendous, really critical importance of understanding and making effective use of data analysis to drive improved decision-making. So that you can spot the updates, I’vedone them in italics. As many of you know, I’ve worked […]

But the potential benefits are only realized as vendors move from […] |
