What Drives Clients to PeopleSoft Real Estate Management (REM)
We’ve talked about PeopleSoft Real Estate Management (REM) before, but I want to take a moment to highlight an example of two common pains that many companies endure before realizing they need a full REM solution. Like everything else, this is an exercise in tipping points: your tools work well enough until one day, frustration
Read More...The Real ROI of the Press Release
BNET’s Drew Kerr: Well-written press releases have lost much of their power to generate actual news coverage. Journalists suffering from information overload rarely have the time to slog through the number of pitches they receive daily, so publicists bank on their relationships with them to get coverage. If press releases have any potency now, it

Go figure: focusing on a dozen things poorly, running from fragmented job to fragmented job, trying to shift mindsets from tactical to strategic and struggling to figure out where you left a certain task might have long-term negative effects. After jumping through the mental hoops, the researchers found that the heavy multimedia users were at

Thought-provoking and spot-on post by Amber Riviere over at Web Worker Daily: Yesterday, I read the “Unconventional Guide to the Social Web,” and although I found a lot of useful information in it, one quote has stuck with me since reading it: “Your blog is your mothership.

(And if you’re doing what you love, it isn’t work at all.) Meanwhile,

In some of my previous blog posts, I have emphasized the importance and real-world value of integration for PeopleSoft customers. Integration is an overused word, but nonetheless lots of concepts and power live within it. There is no question that an integrated maintenance management system lowers an organization’s risk and costs. What I haven’t really

Vinnie Mirchandani correctly notes that in the recent ZDNet 100 Technology Experts on Twitter list, there’s not one big-name, mainstream corporate CIO among them. While this is certainly true, three thoughts come to mind. 1. There is a CIO on ZDNet’s list (#50, Scott Lowe), but I don’t think that meets the mainstream corporate CIO
