IT Poll: How Important is Pricing in Enterprise Software?

By Klint Finley / July 28, 2011 2:00 PM / View Comments

oracleweeklypollchart.png One of the issues brought to mind by VMware's new pricing scheme is how important price actually is in enterprise software pricing. For SMBs, pricing can make a break a deal. But for large enterprise, it's not as clear-cut. In some cases, as Sameer Patel of the Sovos Group has pointed out, buyers may actually prefer a higher price because they need to justify their budgets (that's oversimplifying things, but there you have it). Also, too low a price may suggest to enterprise buyers that a product isn't enterprise-class.

IT Poll: Do You Support Firefox in the Enterprise?

By Klint Finley / July 20, 2011 11:30 AM / View Comments

This week, Mozilla re-established its Mozilla Enterprise User Working Group, following last month's controversy over Firefox product manager Asa Dotzler's comment that, "Enterprise has never been (and I'll argue, shouldn't be) a focus."

At issue is Mozilla's lack of support for previous versions of Firefox, even as it releases new versions at a feverish pace. Mozilla released Firefox 5 only three months after Firefox 4, and announced it was end-of-lifeing Firefox 4. The organization will repeat the cycle in another three months when it releases Firefox 6. The problem for enterprises is that it can take at least 3 months to test required sites and applications against a new version of the browser.

What's Wrong with Enterprise Software Anyway?

By Klint Finley / June 20, 2011 12:00 PM / View Comments

Enterprise clouds Constellation Research CEO and principal analyst R "Ray" Wang recently gave a talk called "Why Enterprise Software Sucks and How Disruptive Technologies Converge to Change This" at the AMPLIFYfestival. It's a good talk introducing many of the concepts we cover here frequently.

Wang started the talk in a pretty interesting area: what, specifically, are the problems with enterprise software that enterprise 2.0, social business, gamification etc. is trying to solve? He asked people from the audience why they disliked their enterprise software. Some of the answers were: it's slow, it takes too long to implement, it doesn't look good, change is slow, user experience always take a back seat and it's not personal.

Wang points out that in consumer technology, the opposite is usually true.
