Keep it Simple Highlights of the Week
It’s been 100+ degrees this week in Silicon Valley, and the topic of business analytics as an on-demand service has been equally hot. Here are the highlights of the week from the LucidEra blog:
- Ken Rudin kicked things off on a quiet Friday afternoon with a Cognos SaaS Smackdown
- Milestone-Group outlined how sales is becoming more science than art in the Science of Selling webinar with DestinationCRM
- James Taylor (not that James Taylor) got the “analytics semantics” conversation started
- Richard Hackathorn got some SaaS BI religion (just don’t call it that!)
- The Telebusiness Alliance heard about The W5 of Sales Analytics
As they say, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the data center!”
Bon weekend.
