mark madsen commented on Social Media Terms Definitions & Model Copyright is inherent in any work. You need to attribute the source, which I believe is actually vested in Forrester, but I’m not positive that Owyang / Li did it before or after going to Altimeter. 2 months ago
mark madsen commented on TDWI Keynote: Outside In - The Future of Business Intelligence innovation Hartree was an amazingly smart person. I was pointing out that his perspective was too narrow, as the perspective of an expert looking at the familiar and limiting the view of what something is good for or why someone would want it. I also wanted to use Hartree because this quote is usually misrepresented as "there’s a world market for maybe three computers" and attributed to the CEO of IBM. I think the cloud thing applies to enterprise or collective software/services, but don’t you think the cloud will also make use of all those distributed devices, like it does now with some of the p2p software? I think Douglas Adams is the real oracle here: the coffee machine taking over the ship computer to figure out why a monkey likes tea, or that we view computers with incredibly little foresight (it’s an adding machine, it’s a typewriter, it’s a brochure! being his three eras of computing) 2 years ago
mark madsen commented on ETL Market Webcast The shares depend on how you want to measure and who does the measuring. You can measure by revenue, new license sales, installed licenses, etc. There are no accurate numbers out there for ETL products, just a lot of approximations. Some vendors like IBM don’t break out the information in their reports so you don’t know what the real share is and of what products. You have to average IDC and Forrester numbers today to get an approximation. You can count on Informatica and IBM having the biggest directly purchased share. Oracle and Microsoft as ETL for DW projects would be interesting. Nobody knows but they go out with almost every database install. Therefore you can’t do revenue counting share metrics. All depends on what you want to use the information for. 3 years ago
