Welcome to a place for honest and candid discussion about what can work, what others have tried, and what is of value. The hope is to provide conversations about insider insights into effective enterprise apps strategies, vendor selection, and software contracts. With that in mind, a few macro trends drive the purpose of this blog:

* A changing business environment has forced enterprise apps strategies to be more agile and responsive to the business.

* A plethora of partner solutions, purpose built apps, widgets and gadgets have complicated vendor selection.

* Vendor consolidation and a quest for operating margin has led to less leverage in software contract negotiations.
