Quality, or something quite like it

In my opinion, the fundamental flaw in Data Quality is that we, the user, are not specific enough. Too often we assume that what we think is right, is right. Unfortunately, quality is subjective. And confusion about meaning doesn’t make it any easier. I have to get myself a new car. Economy dictates that after its first four years a car needs to be traded in. So I have to go through a selection process …

Jericho Forum launches Self Assessment Service

Fans of de-perimeterised security may be interested to know that the Jericho Forum has just launched a self-assessment service. The service allows user organisations, and vendors, to mark themselves against the Jericho Forum’s 11 commandments and to measure themselves against the Forum’s criteria for securing Enterprise 2.0.

It always did and will continue to excite me the way the social constructs influence the businesses.

Where will Twitter go next and the future of social xyz…

Twitter is not going to go away. So far it has been very successful on two fronts. 1) attracting users to its 140 character broadcast micro blogging platform 2) enabling others to create applications that enable you to interact with Twitter using the rich APIs that are available. It has also captured the imagination of brands both in the UK and abroad and along with Facebook in 2009 and 2010 has managed to obtain many …

“Customer to Customer” and the legend of Kachiwachi

Often I ask clients to describe their multi-channel capabilities. Most start by focussing on the channels that they own and control like their contact centre, their web site, their field sales force. CRM taught us to think that way. But customer’s don’t necessarily abide by those rules. For many customers, peer to peer is often the first channel they use to interact with an organisation…
