Culture vs. Process Update

My friend Michael Dortch, now an analyst with the Aberdeen Group, corrected my memory of his quote about culture versus process in his blog post here. I certainly could have mis-remembered, but we can all go to the videotape here if we want to check what he said exactly. And if you haven’t heard Michael speak, watching this presentation from the Altiris ManageFusion user conference in the spring of 2007 will introduce you to one of the smartest and funniest guys I know.

Intel vPro and Altiris Update

Fred Jentgen, American Marketing Manager for Intel, and Kevin Unbedacht, Sr. Manager, Strategic Alliance Channel Sales for Altiris (now a part of Symantec), discuss the continued integration of Intel\’s vPro technology hooks into Altiris/Symantec software. Improvements on the initial feature set provide more ways to manage computers without actually touching them, which saves money as companies support their users. This interview was done at the fall ManageFusion 07 convention in Orlando.

Small Biz Podcasts Galore

Kudos to Anita Campbell and her Great Big List of 100 Small Business Podcasts. Most are marketing and sales related, but those groups like to talk and therefore adopted podcasts early on. Take a look, and a listen, and subscribe to the ones you like.

Calling Out Linux and Novell

After reading about how poorly Linux is doing when Microsoft Vista left a giant hole in the market you can drive a truck full of Open Source software through, I blamed part of the problem on Novell. I told the Linux world “Do not let Novell carry your flag.” The quote comes in the fourth paragraph.

A site I didn’t know about, Boycott Novell, seemed to like that advice and called it their Quote of the Day. I also heard from some Novell people, who weren’t thrilled, but I stand by what I said. The history of Novell marketing reads like the Encyclopedia of Disaster, and they show little improvement that I can see.

Would I love Novell to buy a marketing clue? Absolutely. Holding my breath? Absolutely not.
