I feel that Ronald’s reply builds significantly onto the original blog and therefore deserves a special mention in this new blog as opposed to being hidden in a comment: Hi, BASDA are current in the process […]

There was a deluge of awards for the on-premise vendors where the Access Group scooped three awards, Relate […]
Dennis Howlett recently blogged here on how some of the newer entrants to the industry are collaborating on a new, Simple Universal Business Language (SUBL), initiative to send and receive orders and invoices electronically between heterogeneous applications. This sounds highly desirable and will undoubtedly save users time and improve the accuracy of entering transactions into […]
No, look into the sky and tell me what you really see.. a whole bunch of clouds. Exactly the same for the phenomenon applies to the Internet Cloud, in that there isn’t one cloud, but many clouds of all different shapes and sizes. A very simple statement on the surface, yet confusion arises when people […]
