You’ve seen Great Plains and SAP, now in the Grand Finale they come together to match up against Mac .. I mean the NetSuite Guy:

Edgy Marketing: SAP Guy vs. NetSuite Guy (Mac vs. PC parody)
Posted on April 15, 2010 ·
You’ve seen the Great Plains version, and I’ve told you to wait for the SAP version…. here we go:
Fun aside, SAP’s Business ByDesign is coming… (most likely) … in the second half of the year. I can’t wait to see a SAP video:-)

Edgy Marketing: Great Plains Guy vs NetSuite Guy (Mac vs PC)
Posted on April 15, 2010 ·
Since I’ve shared with you a video making fun of the Suites it’s only fair to show how a “suite”, NetSuite makes fun of competitors. Oh, I love edgy marketing:-)
But this is nothing.. wait till they publish the SAP vs NetSuite video we’ve just seen at the SuiteCloud conference 🙂
(And I can’t wait for a SAP response ….)

As they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Oliver Widder’s Geek And Poke series is one of my favorites… and yes, one cartoon is often worth an entire post… the pic says it all.
I just hope we won’t get in trouble.. now that the word “Pad” is on Apple’s ban list … (is the entire feminine care industry in trouble? will they go after NASA for using Launch Pad?)… oh, well, will they claim rights for the use of the letter “i”?

The Benioff Coup. I Almost Got it Right
Posted on April 7, 2010 ·
Watching Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff interview Mike Arrington @ Davos in January, I predicted the Big Marc was after a new job in media. It all felt confirmed when Benioff launched a series of posts at TechCrunch (although I suspected a fellow XXXXX blogger wrote his posts).
But now it looks the other way around: Benioff stole TechCrunch contributor Steve Gillmor.
Strange. But I could still be right. Here’s my conspiracy theory: it’s a job swap. Gillmor will soon take over as CEO while Big Marc will retire to his Hawaii Mansion to lazily edit TechCrunchIT.
Gartner probability: 0.01
(Yes, I know it’s not April Fool’s Day – that’s how I reacted to the TC post first.)

Competitors Rush to bring the Latest Timesinks to the Enterprise
Posted on April 1, 2010 ·
It’s nice to see competitors come together to bring the most popular timesinks productivity boosters to the Enterprise.
We’ve long been predicting Foursquare would soon hit the Enterprise, and no the wait is over, with Atlassian releasing Fourwalls.
There’s a lot we can learn from this app – otherwise how would I know that @barconati spends way too much time in the kitchen? (unless he is cooking a new Confluence soup).
Let’s not forget competition – how could archrival Socialtext leave this field to Atlassian? No way… and there they are, releasing Chatroulette for the Enterprise.
A true revolution in Randomized Productivity Management (RPM) 🙂

Google Apps in a Box. Oh, and an iPad Killer.
Posted on March 10, 2010 ·
What we missed in our Google Apps Marketplace coverage: the Best Poster Award … drumroll.. goes to box.net:
And while at it, their video isn’t too shabby, either:
Wait… is that an iPad killer with a great virtual keyboard at 0:46?
Bias alert: I’ve been watching Box.net from the humble early days starting here:
..to becoming a successful business. Just sayin’ 🙂
(Update: my secret retirement plan is collecting royalty from Box.net for using Google-in-a-Box 
)
P.S. On a more serious note, here’s our previous Google Apps Marketplace coverage:

Dilbert Knows How to Save Failed IT Projects
Posted on March 9, 2010 ·
Fellow Enterprise Irregular Michael Krigsman did a two-part mini-series on the IT Failures Blame Game . As someone who had spent over a decade on large-scale IT projects, I agree with a lot of what Michael says. But all that time did not teach me there was such an easy solution for project failures:

Amazon is Female ( No Surprise) and Has a Name
Posted on March 8, 2010 ·
Other than pimping Amazon, she also owns a Mexican Wholesale company and a football team in Texas – at least that’s what new Social CRM plugin Rapportive tells me:
