"https://blog.isg-research.net/2010/12/31/callidus-muscles-up-with-forcelogix-but-can-it-step-up-to-the-plate", "datePublished": "31/12/2010", "dateModified": "31/12/2010", "articleBody": "In a very quiet and very subtle move, Callidus Software (NASDAQ: CALD) has offered to purchase the assets of ForceLogix for about $3.75 million. This sales applications software company provides sales coaching software to help sales managers realize the full value of their sales representatives. In 2010, Callidus Software entered into an OEM agreement to embed ForceLogix within a new offering called Sales Coaching; it clearly concluded that the opportunity to expose the application to further opportunities in its customer base was too important for ForceLogix to be allowed to continue to operate independently, and so it used some of its stated cash position of almost $11 million at end of September. This step into a pre-sales and sales management application is a key move toward expanding its sales performance management position. I would guess that Callidus sees some significant revenue growth in 2011 and beyond for its purchase. The ForceLogix application is one that I have been tracking for many years. It has come a long way; its latest 5.5 release includes a series of great advancements. The core application is known to be quite robust in providing a series of performance and process metrics about a sales rep as well as guidance on places to improve. The advancements that came out in August with the new version include support for sales manager coaching, performance improvement plans and reviews and coaching suggestions. In addition, the application includes an offline version with synchronization to enable coaching and reviews even when not connected to the Internet. Critical advancements in workflow, notifications and tracking make the core application more robust, and its utility is improved with new management views for assessing actuals, competencies and trending. These advancements support what our sales benchmark research found improve efficiency of sales processes is a top benefit of sales performance management that every organization should be investing into and Callidus is one of the key suppliers of it. It’s important to note as well that ForceLogix had stepped up its development efforts along with focused sales efforts. In fact, its list of customers has grown to include Corning, Lenovo, Motorola and others. Foreshadowing this move, ForceLogix had already been expanding its integration with Callidus with single sign-on and use of underlying information and metrics. Now with Callidus buying the assets, will it offer jobs to all of the employees and keep the same level of investment and growth? Time will tell. On the Callidus side this is a positive growth opportunity, and one that comes as the company has been reducing its operating footprint and costs. Despite this shrinkage, Callidus is closing new customers both at home and across the globe (which is a growing percentage of its business); among those added are AAA of Michigan, ESPN, Health Net and others. Callidus has been working its way through a very difficult transition from a license-and-maintenance model for its offerings to a recurring software-as-a-service rental approach that now represents 72 percent of its total revenue in its third quarter results. This conversion is no easy task and as it finds further growth in the market will provide an interesting case study of business management and an operating model transformation. Focusing on profitability and margins is good financial management, especially for a public company, but it alone is not enough if the company isn’t able to market itself effectively against peer competitors – in this case, competitors like Merced Systems and Varicent, which have been increasing their marketing and sales efforts, and Xactly, which appears to have flattened its spend in this area. Most interesting was the pullback of Callidus’s efforts with salesforce.com; at the latter’s 2009 Dreamforce conference it showed the new set of products in which it had invested significantly and which I analyzed. Since then Dreamforce 2010 has come and gone and Callidus did not even exhibit at the event. Although in my opinion salesforce has not invested significant effort recently in advancements for sales forces (See: “Can Your Sales Force Trust Salesforce.com?“), there remains activity in that area, and all of Callidus’s direct sales compensation competitors were present and this year’s show and actively in dialogue with prospects and Xactly appears to have the front seat as salesforce uses its products and has many partnering activities in motion. Competitively, Callidus, like others, will face the reentry of Oracle into this space with its Fusion CRM for Sales which I have recently assessed (See: “Sneak Preview and Analysis: Oracle Fusion Applications for CRM and Sales Organizations“), and major releases from Varicent (See: “Sales Compensation Easier To Manage with Varicent 7“) and Merced (which already has a Coaching Plus application that it highlighted at its recent conference. This will make it even more important for Callidus to effectively market its advancements and value if it is to compete in this highly competitive environment. It has appeared in 2010 that it has removed itself from most common marketing activities to slash its operating expenses. For Callidus the question is whether SAP will come back and embrace Callidus as a partner or as an acquisition or will IBM decide to expand its existing sales analytics solution. Callidus has also found some other critical application expansion opportunities. It recently highlighted an onboarding application that has had yielded growth in the insurance industry – it helps streamline agents’ ability to operate across carriers quickly, in some cases in only 30 minutes compared to the week or more required in a manual process. This application is yet another example of the potential of sales performance management. I believe that in acquiring the assets of ForceLogix Callidus Software has a great opportunity for growth, but it will have to beef up and improve its marketing efforts to ensure it can compete for consideration in this area. It has a solid foundation as we have assessed its company and products in our Value Index. Clearly the newly augmented application will offer an opportunity to sell back to its customers, but Callidus must reach for the larger opportunity of organizations starting with sales coaching and then progressing to improvement in sales compensation and other sales performance management applications that it has and should expand, build and partner more for in the future.

Among them are improving customer satisfaction, increasing the number of calls resolved at the first attempt and ensuring agents comply with regulations. But chief among these, my research into contact center analytics shows, is the mandate to reduce the average length of time it takes to complete calls. Doing all of these things requires information. My research also shows that companies are just beginning to realize that one of the most substantial sources of data that can be used to derive this information is the calls themselves, which they can record. However, accessing this data and analyzing its content has until quite recently been possible only through the application of an enormous amount of manual effort, in the form of supervisors or analysts listening to recorded calls and reporting on their content. This began to change when vendors such as Nexidia emerged with products that automate the entire process. Nexidia’s suite of products, Enterprise Speech Intelligence (ESI), allows companies to capture information about calls, analyze their content and report on what both agent and customer said. Its search facilities allow companies to pick out calls containing defined words or phrases and thus focus as needed on customer sentiment, agent performance, trends and the root causes of calls. ESI’s proven abilities have allowed the company to achieve record performance this year and raise additional funding that will allow it to continue investing in the product as well as expand into other focus areas and geographies. This growth is likely to accelerate even more now that it has announced a major partnership with Cisco. As well as being a major supplier of telecommunications equipment and software, Cisco has a major presence in the contact center market. Its products are used by a large number of companies that have chosen to build their centers on the voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) or are using a mixed traditional and VoIP environment. These include a multi-channel ACD and systems for call routing, computer-telephony integration and multi-channel contact management. The new partnership between the two vendors means that using an integrated offering, companies can now capture and analyze calls as they are happening; Nexidia’s tool taps into the voice stream in real time and delivers the content for analysis, enabling a company to identify what is being said as it is being said. This opens up all sorts of promising new possibilities. Call center management could identify as it’s happening an agent saying the wrong thing or missing an opportunity to close the call or make an up-sale. It could listen to customers’ negative comments as they’re made, making it possible for a supervisor or senior account manager to intervene. The possibilities are unlimited, determined by the rules built into Nexidia. For this all to happen, though, someone must be alerted about the situation and take appropriate action. As those that follow me regularly know, I am a great advocate of the smart desktop as critical for customer experience management, which provides the ideal tool to alert agents, supervisors or others. Somewhat to my surprise, I have discovered that Cisco recently released such a product, Cisco Finesse. This provides a desktop that integrates traditional contact center functions into a single thin client. It allows companies to build a customizable environment that gives agents access to multiple systems and sources of information and provides a place where alerts can be surfaced. The integration with Nexidia thus completes the chain, allowing companies to alert users based on real-time analysis of the call flow. The calls can of course also be recorded, enabling them if they wish to use all the normal functions of ESI to gain insights from them. This opens up all sorts of possibilities for companies to innovate in how they handle customer interactions, which means they have another promising tool to use to provide customers with better experiences. Doing so has of course become an even higher priority in today’s challenging economic circumstances. Are you ready for this level of innovation?

One of the latter is the Super Bowl Indicator, which says that if a team from the original National Football League wins the game, the market will be up for the year, but if an old American Football League team wins it, the market will be down. The amazing thing is that so far this heuristic has an accuracy rate better than 75%! On the other hand, over time some venerable weather vanes become unreliable. For example, the “hem line theory” (that stocks rise and fall with the direction of this aspect of women’s fashion) lost its (ahem) legs, partly because fashion these days is much more anarchic. Then there’s the Headquarters Effect, which holds that once a company announces that it’s building a new headquarters, you’d be wise to sell its stock. One rationale for this indicator is that companies tend to make these decisions at or near the high point of their business cycle. So even though correlation is not causality, the two events happen in concert frequently enough to make it a reliable predictive indicator. And there are other reasons why people who trade the market believe in the Headquarters Effect. One is that any move proves to be a distraction to senior management: Once the new location is announced, the leaders spend a large portion of their time jockeying for offices and planning their office décor, and when they make the move, they spend too much time assessing fellow executives’ relative status based on office location and décor. In other words, human nature comes into play, which is seldom a stabilizing factor. Personally, I’ve found the Headquarters Effect to be very reliable. I remember talking to a friend who told me his wife had just started working on designing the interiors of an as-yet-unannounced new headquarters of a company that I covered. Although it was insider information, I should have downgraded the stock right then because it would have been very close to the high of the stock in that cycle. It doesn’t even have to be a brand-new building. When, more than a decade ago, Hyperion Software announced it was relocating up the street a bit on Long Ridge Road in Stamford, Conn., I called up the CFO to warn her that the stock was going to tank because of the move. She protested that they weren’t buying the building and that they needed more space because people were doubled up in offices. I held my ground, and about nine months later, after the move had been made, the company announced disappointing earnings, and the stock sunk like a stone. (Of course, my inner lawyer forces me to note that past performance is not indicative of future results.) I mention the Headquarters Effect because of Salesforce.com’s recent announcement that it will be moving across town in San Francisco into a huge new campus. Since the announcement, the company’s share price has increased, but this indicator is more long-term in nature. The stock is currently trading in the 130s. I’ll check back on the price next year at this time. Let me know your thoughts or come and collaborate with me on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

Attendees from sales organizations might have been looking for some depth on the next generation of applications to support their sales processes or what the vendor will do to help sales managers manage, sales reps sell products and sales operations support it all. Certainly it’s reasonable for a sales force automation (SFA) customer to expect that. But it was not to be. Salesforce.com has moved beyond the focus of its CRM efforts to promote Chatter 2 and the advanced Chatter.com that will be freely available to its customers for use across the enterprise in 2011. As well salesforce brought forward advances in supporting databases in the cloud with database.com, in developing applications in the cloud with its acquisition of Heroku, in developing websites with siteForce.com and in building broader portfolio partnerships with BMC and VMWare. I‘m guessing that if you are in sales and attended Dreamforce, you enjoyed the fanfare, the concert with Stevie Wonder and the fancy parties. But if you have attended in past years you probably also noticed that the conference that was dominated by sales and marketing organizations in the beginning has undergone a transformation that resembles the changes Siebel Systems made to move beyond CRM as its conference grew huge, not to mention its current role at Oracle OpenWorld. It’s an interesting comparison since those two CRM applications companies, now one, were attacked and chastised by salesforce and its outspoken CEO Marc Benioff. You might remember that at Siebel’s conferences salesforce.com people used to march back and forth and hassle attendees with its No Software marketing campaigns. You might ask why salesforce.com has moved beyond the CRM focus and only makes incremental improvements to its SFA solution. The answer lies in two phrases: Cloud Computing and Revenue. First, salesforce sees itself as the dominant cloud computing platform, with a database, tools and applications, equivalent to IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP in the world of purchasing licenses and installing software on-premises. To bolster this ambition requires salesforce.com to diversify and support a broader enterprise software strategy. Yes, I said “software” – it’s clear now that the No Software company rents software whatever its marketing says. Second, there’s a revenue opportunity in taking on a larger enterprise software strategy – it provides access to organizations capable of larger IT spending and direct competition with the likes of HP, IBM, Infor, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP. In this scenario the incremental spend of most sales organizations pales in comparison. In addition salesforce markets and sells its SFA to meet the needs of the entire sales force but in fact it does not. Though it has dozens of partners with applications for sales, it rarely does more than mention the catalog on AppExchange rather than provide a blueprint or framework to help potential customers understand the options available. So if you are expecting more from salesforce.com for your sales force, I suggest you lower your expectations and reconsider what you need to reach the next level of efficiency in sales processes for managers and representatives. We call this sales performance management, and it addresses all the tasks and processes across a sales organization. If you want to do this, you’ll need to examine the full range of sales activities that our research has identified and advances in both pre- and post-sales activities. These include the pipeline, forecasting, coaching, playbooks, pricing, compensation, incentives, rewards, territories and quotas. In addition you’ll need sales analytics that address the demands of sales operations for interactive analysis, modeling and planning and of sales managers to understand, monitor and improve sales effectiveness. With a comprehensive approach you’ll find that applications designed for sales can draw more value from the silos of spreadsheets, reports and presentations that currently dominate sales processes. As for analytics, my colleague has assessed those from salesforce.com and finds plenty of room for improvement (See: “Salesforce Analytics Identify a Break in the Clouds“). Now I do think that the advances in collaboration with Chatter can help sales, and you can do the basics in its dashboards. In addition it is good the company is advancing its functionality on mobile technologies like smartphones and tablets like Apple iPad. But these can’t deliver the kind of innovation and improvement you will need to manage and operate sales more effectively. You deserve better, but you will have to seek it elsewhere. If I had a voice at salesforce, I would argue to put more resources into the Sales Cloud and to promote its partners more articulately than it does today. I would also ensure that the education at the conference is relevant and deeper for the sales organization. I’d say next year's Dreamforce should have a complete Sales Cloud area on the exhibit floor, including partners, so that collaboration can occur more easily in sales organizations. The most recent exhibit floor was a maze that forced customers to go on a Mission Impossible to find what they wanted. Finally I wonder whether salesforce is worried about doing what its predecessors in SFA did in limiting innovation – which gave it the opportunity it needed in starting out. Salesforce.com eventually will encounter new competitive pressures to advance SFA further. Oracle’s Fusion CRM for sales has addressed many of the challenges in functionality found in Oracle Siebel, Oracle CRM and Oracle CRM On-Demand, as I reviewed recently. Its focus on planning, prospecting and productivity with strong sales analytics technology foundation that integrates predictive analytics might give it an opportunity to fend off salesforce’s approach to its customers. Others in SFA such as CDC, Infor and SAP (See: “SAP Energizes CRM with Analytics and Interactions, But Will It Work?“) have not progressed significantly. At the same time new sales application suite companies have been advancing: Callidus, Merced Systems, Synygy, Varicent and Xactly are beginning to address the need for more pre-sales functionality. In addition other partners who were at Dreamforce include Cloud9 Analytics for forecasting and pipeline management, Sant/Kadient for sales playbooks, Terralign for territory management, Camelon for quoting and pricing, iWay CEP Enable for getting customer notifications from within the enterprise (which I assessed) in Salesforce Chatter, and Jitterbit for gaining dynamic access to related information in the enterprise. All these dedicated solutions integrate to the salesforce.com platform. There is some indication that salesforce might decide to make acquisitions, but so far there is no hint of which companies and will it have direct value for sales organizations. And maybe it is time for the company to change its name to represent the new broader focus and the wall street ticker symbol (NASDAQ:CRM) that they are publicly traded under. This transition from a focus on helping sales is nothing new as I first identified this in my analysis in 2007, so this is a more vocal warning for those of you who care about advancing sales organizations effectiveness and efficiency. For the time being, I recommend developing your agenda for sales applications and broadening your horizons beyond salesforce.com to get what you need and not just what you will get from them.

SAP will be buying cundus’ Financial Statement Factory and informationCollector, which together manage the collaborative creation and editing of financial and management reports using both structured and unstructured information. SAP expects to complete the deal by the end of 2010. The transaction follows a similar move by IBM Cognos in its acquisition of Clarity Systems for the same reason: As the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) progresses in implementation of its “interactive data” mandate, public companies are finding they need to automate the process of assembling their quarterly and annual external financial filings and tagging data with eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) tags. As well as being required, this not only saves time but can significantly reduce errors. Although many companies are motivated by the SEC mandate, I believe most that adopt these types of solutions will shorten the process and make it more efficient. Moreover, similar (albeit less complex) reporting requirements already exist in many other countries, and I expect these requirements to expand in future years as investors and others demand easier access to corporate data. Also, this sort of application can be used more broadly to automate any complex regulatory filing that requires the collaborative assembly of text and numbers from multiple sources in a company. For instance, it is also used to prepare compliance reports to regulatory authorities such as (in the case of the finance department) Sarbanes-Oxley Act sections 302 and 404 documents. SAP is deferring comment on many details until it completes the acquisition. I’m assuming that it will integrate UBmatrix’s XBRL tagging tool – which it already offers to customers under the SAP Business Objects XBRL Publishing moniker – to handle this part of the process (cundus also uses UBmatrix in its XBRL Factory application). Earlier this year UBmatrix was acquired by Edgar Online, which also offers an SEC filing service (and thus both supports and competes with SAP). The offering will be priced separately from SAP’s other financial performance management (FPM) components. I think this addition to SAP’s product line was long overdue: It plugs an important gap in its offerings to finance departments. In the evaluation of the leading FPM software suites in our 2010 Value Index, while SAP achieved the highest score in our assessment, it achieved that despite the absence of this capability. In addition to IBM Cognos, this software competes with offerings from other FPM suite vendors such as Host Analytics, Longview Solutions and Oracle/Hyperion.

It’s one of a growing list of providers of in-the-cloud accounting and finance packages built on the Force.com platform. Like other of these accounting vendors (such as Compiere, Intacct, Netsuite and - to some extent and eventually– Workday), it aims principally at companies that have outgrown entry-level accounting software such as Intuit’s QuickBooks. (I covered the emerging use of cloud-based applications for finance departments here.) However, there are key differences. One major difference is that FinancialForce offers customers the choice between buying accounting functionality as a complete package or doing so à la carte. This approach derives from its strategy of going after two types of customers. One target customer segment consists of companies that are clearly better off with an in-the-cloud accounting package – those whose main channel is on the Web or are sales and distribution organizations. This builds on the integration and strategic relationship between FinancialForce and salesforce.com. It also reflects the advantages of having accounting processes occur in parallel with business processes “in the cloud.” Such an arrangement can be more efficient and provide greater control for users than when these transactions are recorded on premises if the connection between the paperless, online transaction requires manual steps to record it in a financial system. Poorly integrated, manual processes are likely to be error-prone, less secure and more time-consuming. The second target customers are those that need a piece (or several pieces) of accounting process and functionality to support a business process executed in salesforce.com, such as executing a sales order accounting process while taking an order. The accounting details of the sales order are programmed to follow the user’s desired process with the desired structure and metadata, and the transaction’s data is then passed directly to the company’s on-premises ERP system. The most commonly deployed are those supporting invoicing, cash collection and customer service. The challenge facing FinancialForce is the same confronting every cloud-based ERP vendor: Only a small minority (about 15% in our research) of companies prefer to have their accounting or ERP system in the cloud but is growing every year, while most prefer on-premises deployment. At present, cloud-based systems represent fewer than 10 percent of the market measured in U.S. dollars. As I’ve noted, I expect this to evolve over time as financial executives become more comfortable with the cloud concept and recognize inherent weaknesses in on-premises deployments. In the meantime, I think that going after the salesforce.com-heavy segment of the market makes sense since these sorts of companies have business needs that are well aligned with Financial Force’s offering and are presumably less squeamish about cloud-based systems. While FinancialForce is new, it has a mature financial application that is an adaptation of CODA, a longstanding U.K.-based ERP system. One point of differentiation adopted early on by CODA was to use a multidimensional database as the data store, a “single ledger” construction that requires no routine reconciliations between sub ledgers. This enables transaction data to be reported on in real time and (in the case of FinancialForce) enables complete drilling down and back. Interestingly, Oracle recently adopted use of a multidimensional database as a hub for collecting data from disparate ERP systems and feeding it into analytic or performance management applications. In addition, FinancialForce recently announced it is acquiring Appirio’s professional services automation (PSA) package. I think this is a great fit. Although it has been around for decades, PSA has been a slightly adopted software category in part because a large percentage of professional services companies have been too small to make the investment in a formal, on-premises system. Although there are no bright lines between sizes, by my reckoning, “too small” includes almost all companies with 10 or fewer billing professionals and a majority of those with 25 billing professionals. Cloud-based PSA changes the economics for such companies (or the consulting arms of product or service companies) because few of them can invest in the IT infrastructure (including people) needed for such systems. One of the important economic benefits gained by using PSA systems is faster and more accurate billing, which improves cash flow and visibility of it, which are critical capabilities for these organizations since they are usually self-financed. In addition, PSA software makes it easier for companies to plan and manage their resources – chiefly people – so that utilization rates can be higher. With small professional services organizations this is less of an issue because there are fewer billing professionals whose time must be allocated and therefore the issue is much less complicated. However, when there are more than a dozen or two of these people it becomes harder to juggle and, more significantly, re-juggle assignments as situations change.

As a user of salesforce applications for the last four years in my previous positions, I was familiar with its analytic capabilities, or lack thereof. Certainly you can accomplish simple reporting and produce dashboards displaying salesforce data, which is adequate for narrowly focused reporting and analysis. However, as a user I was underwhelmed. For example, there are no built-in capabilities for pixel-perfect reporting, drill-and-pivot navigation of data, advanced visualization or predictive analytics. But if you need to perform serious what-if analysis or predictive analytics against your sales and marketing data, you’ll have to do some custom programming at least to make it work in salesforce. Given the overall importance of business intelligence, I was expecting to hear more at Dreamforce about new analytics capabilities for specific lines of business. Alas, it was not to be. The company did announce some new collaboration capabilities based on Chatter that my colleague has assessed that will enable users to embed dashboard display objects such as graphs into Chatter collaboration streams. As the data changes the Chatter stream will be updated to alert users that new information is available. Salesforce.com has also invested in linking Chatter to Microsoft Outlook (on Windows systems only initially). Users will appreciate these enhancements that bring BI to them, as I suggested rather than forcing them to come to the BI environment. Fortunately, salesforce has fostered an active third-party community via AppExchange and Force.com. AppExchange is an online marketplace for cloud computing applications, and Force.com is a development platform for building cloud-based applications using the salesforce architecture. Third-party ISVs have stepped in to fill the analytics void left by salesforce, and some of them were exhibiting their latest capabilities at Dreamforce. Information Builders, IBM Cognos and QlikTech were all present at the conference. Of these three, Information Builders seems to have embraced Salesforce Chatter most fully, integrating its iWay CEP enable with Salesforce Chatter (See:“iWay Software Connects Salesforce Chatter to the Enterprise”. QlikView and IBM Cognos are focused more on delivering their traditional BI capabilities against salesforce data. In fact, the IBM Cognos booth contained only generic BI messaging and was not at all specific to salesforce that I could see. There were no signs of SAP with Business Objects or its new cloud offering, nor of Oracle’s business intelligence nor MicroStrategy, all of which focus on customers purchasing licenses of their software rather than renting it. Another interesting category is the “pure cloud” BI vendors including BIRST, Gooddata and Pivotlink. With a potential audience of tens of thousands of cloud users and such a gaping hole in salesforce’s current analytics capabilities, it was no surprise to see these vendors embracing Dreamforce. I’m sure they would cringe to hear me say it, but in the larger context of the overall BI market these three vendors are more similar than different. They all offer a broad set of traditional BI capabilities with their primary differentiator (compared to the rest of the market) being the fact that they offer their products primarily or only via the cloud. They should not downplay the importance of this differentiator. Our BI and Performance Management research shows cloud-based and hosted deployments gaining in popularity with the portion of organizations using off-premises solutions rising to 44 percent in the next 24 months. In addition to traditional BI platform vendors and cloud-based BI vendors, analytical application vendors are also filling some of the void left by salesforce. Companies such as Merced Systems offer sales performance management and customer service or agent performance management, helping to bridge the gap between the two. My colleague recently wrote about some of their capabilities (See: “Merced Systems Customer Summit Advances Sales and Customer Service Organizations”. Cloud9 Analytics also fills some of the void with an application focused on forward looking analyses involved in sales forecasting pipeline management and into the front office needs that we have assessed. I did hear occasional mentions of future analytics capabilities from salesforce.com personnel, and I expect at some point in the future the company might become more focused on analytics. In the meantime, while the clouds are parted with respect to analytics, it is important to look to the third-party community to fill the void. You have options with traditional BI platform vendors, cloud-based BI vendors and analytic application vendors to deliver the BI and performance management support your business users need to drive your organization forward.

SAP has shifted its focus from standard customer relationship management (CRM) to the customer lines of business where professionals increasingly see that the enterprise customer experience should span channels and processes in marketing, sales and customer service. SAP now is focusing on specializing its applications for a customer-focused set of business processes, which can be differentiated in its vertical industry solutions more than its horizontal CRM applications. This industry approach makes sense for SAP, which has not been able to tap into the new energy and applications in marketing, sales and service but is aware of multichannel customer requirements. Let’s start by looking about what SAP is focusing on in the customer lines of business. SAP is presenting its efforts as customer experience management but in a broad and comprehensive approach. SAP is focused on the broad dynamics of information and interactions across all channels and departments; managing that is not easy because organizations usually have dozens of applications across customer touch points and at least some not provided by SAP. To integrate them is a herculean effort, and it is not clear how fully SAP can address it. For many organizations the customer experience is created in the multichannel customer service areas, particularly customer self-service on the Web and interactions with customer service agents; both of these additionally require customer feedback management. I personally believe it is necessary to ensure a good customer experience in marketing and sales as well, but many organizations are fixated on their service efforts at the expense of a broader more expensive and encompassing perspective. Measuring activities across customer interactions requires analytics, and SAP has introduced the ability to analyze customer sentiment across channels in the enterprise and in social media. SAP’s Customer Value Analytics has useful functionality if you are an analyst and know what steps to take; otherwise it could be difficult to know what to act upon and why. SAP does have some impressive examples of customer analytics that improve the science with whalebone curves and ways to determine profit destroyers. Our latest research into customer analytics exposed the lack of maturity in this area, and SAP will be able to find interest in its efforts. Deepening its customer-focused analytics at many levels could provide a competitive counter to the marketing sizzle of salesforce.com, which recently has done little to improve its capabilities. SAP is focusing on enabling consistent interactions and efficient decision-making and has expanded its CRM solution portfolio strategy to include both on-premises and on-demand deployment. This spans from SAP CRM and part of SAP BusinessByDesign to new solutions that will focus on specific lines of business. SAP sees an advantage in having enterprise resource planning (ERP) to go with CRM, rather than offering only CRM like salesforce.com. Without this combination, SAP says, companies cannot build a 360-degree view of their customers and interactions with them. I agree, but the fact is that the vast majority of organizations will not have one integrated set of customer processes and applications any time soon. To get there would require a massive transformational effort. More practically, SAP is helping customers’ existing efforts with SAP CRM enhancement pack 1, which will bring analytics from SAP Business Objects along with dashboards that present charts and basic information selection capabilities. At the conference I did not see workflow or collaboration built into the demonstrations, although the SAP StreamWorks technology could be used for this and to help compete against salesforce.com. SAP has been working to upgrade its interaction technology, and SAP Business Communications Management will support a unified approach to these areas. I mentioned that SAP needs to deepen its horizontal efforts in marketing, sales and customer service, where the lines of business have been buying point solutions. In the area of marketing, the concept of multitouch lead nurturing has been driving sales for applications vendors such as Marketo, Manticorp, Eloqua and Unica. In this area SAP now has to deal with IBM which invested a $1 billion in acquiring Unica, Coremetrics and others to provide more value to the CMO. In sales, sales forecasting, quotas, compensation, incentives and coaching come together in sales performance management. SAP has not developed or acquired products to compete in this market, while Oracle recently introduced its first version of Oracle Fusion for CRM that I analyzed. This market is dominated by the likes of Callidus Software, Merced Systems, Synygy and Varicent which have been competing with little resistance from SAP or Oracle. In customer service the focus on the agents and interactions includes coaching, first-call resolution, scheduling and routing and has produced a new wave of applications for customer experience management and agent performance management. There are dozens of vendors marketing and selling into customer service departments, as our research coverage demonstrates, and this will be an area in which we expect to see consolidation in the coming years. SAP is not currently in the market for these application areas, which are among the fastest growing of those for the front-office lines of business. Despite being slow to embrace some of the new dynamics in the front office and applications, SAP is deepening its capabilities in what it does well and pursuing vertical industry markets even deeper than before. SAP is bringing analytics into this arena to do a better job than in the past with areas like sales analytics and providing customer sentiment analytics. These efforts will help SAP continue to grow, but it will have to decide whether its wants to be at the center of discussion and sales for the range of customer-related applications and determine if it has the muscle to acquire as needed to grow its portfolio. Recognizing the technology ecosystem here, which includes salesforce.com, NICE Systems, Verint, Aspect Software and many others, SAP will have to decide whether to go it alone like Oracle or arrange to be part of the larger solution framework moving forward. SAP is leveraging its technology stack from mobility to analytics as my colleague has assessed from being at the SAP Summit. In the meantime I hope they can spice up their marketing as it is a little drab to be honest. This would help provide some better awareness of what they can offer in the market. Only time will tell if SAP can claim broader market share and convince you they have a better approach than others for your customer success.

He contrasted the business strategy of consolidation that other companies are pursuing with his view of SAP’s strategy of innovation. In one sense, this assertion is an attempt to disparage Oracle’s and to some extent IBM’s approach to constructing an IT business portfolio, even though SAP itself has been a consolidator in recent years. (Business Objects and Sybase, for example, are significant components of SAP’s product universe and go-forward strategy.) However, I believe consolidation vs. innovation is an important point to consider as we enter the second decade of the 21st century because it points to the potential for a basic shift in the dynamics of the software business. In contrast with the first five decades of the software business, technology innovation was not much of a driving force in business applications over the past decade. It’s not that there weren’t steady evolutionary enhancements, but these did not have a fundamental impact on demand or competitive dynamics. Instead the lack of a major technological catalyst created the business dynamic that characterized the 2000s: consolidation. One of the big “Aha!” (or WTF) moments in the software business in that decade took place in February 2004 when (I imagine) Safra Catz (or an analyst working for her) changed the assumptions Oracle was making in its valuation of PeopleSoft during its hostile takeover that began the previous June. Simply changing assumptions about the maintenance tail that PeopleSoft would bring made it possible – at a stroke – to increase the price Oracle was offering to pay by one-third. Until that point, it was common to make conservative assumptions about customer retention. Conventional wisdom was that, even assuming you can keep 90 percent of your customers on maintenance, half of these will be gone after just seven years. So until 10 years ago, conservative assumptions in valuing enterprise software companies were called for because highly disruptive technology would emerge regularly, and expecting to lose half your customers over a product cycle was therefore reasonable in considering what to pay. Recall that after Microsoft released Windows 3.0 it took less than seven years for Lotus to lose just about all of its 1-2-3 customer base to Excel. For someone like me who pays attention to financial fads and fashions, the near-elimination of disruptive technology from the valuation assumptions in software mergers and acquisitions has been interesting because, while reasonable at the time, it someday must prove to be wrong. This is why Vishal’s comments – although a bit self-serving – are worth everyone’s attention. The last big schism in enterprise software took place with the introduction of client/server computing. That term is misleading because it wasn’t just the architecture that was important. It was accompanied by the mainstreaming of the relational database, event-driven programming languages and the graphical user interface. These improvements combined to make it far easier to create flexible business applications that could support a wider range of functions and processes. All of these elements reached the market within a couple of years of each other, so in hindsight it looks like one big event, but it was a convergence of several that made the difference. In contrast, the rapid adoption of the Web was more additive than disruptive to the software business. I think that those predicting another client/server revolution were hung up in the buzz. This time around, in the next couple of years what might be different is that several disparate threads arriving over a longer period of time may accelerate the obsolescence of existing business software. In-memory computing (such as SAP’s high-performance analytic appliance HANA) may be a game changer when combined with (for example) cloud computing, server virtualization, open source software, mobility and tablet computing and other user interface devices that substantially enhance usability and the user experience. It’s true that all of these things have been around for a while. However, as business computing has matured and become more complex, it takes longer for threads like these to coalesce into products and services that corporations will demand. If these prove attractive enough, they could spawn a wave of replacement of existing software. One of the questions that innovation vs. consolidation begs is whether owning a “stack” of technology is a good, bad or indifferent when it comes to dealing with a major replacement cycle. Vishay’s observation that nobody buys a stack of technology is true – sort of. Most of the time people don’t buy “performance management,” for instance, they purchase one or several IT elements necessary to support performance management. Yet some companies do buy suites precisely because they have one throat to choke or it’s easier to manage the integration. Although nobody is going to do a full green-field deployment in a larger company these days, the stack represents a vendor consolidation option that some (even many) companies will consider. It presents an opportunity for vendors that own a stack to increase their footprint in an enterprise. Based on corporate behavior over the past 50 years, I’d say owning a stack is a positive but only if most or all of the elements of that stack are on the cutting edge. So which software vendors are most vulnerable in a new decade of innovation outstripping consolidation? That depends on how one defines the nature of the vulnerability – market share or profitability, for example. For starters, consider those with high-margin quasi-monopolies such as Microsoft (both Office and Windows) and Oracle (database and to a much lesser extent business applications maintenance). Their mighty operating profit margins are the result of their huge economies of scale, which could be eroded by increased competition. Yet people have been predicting the demise of their fat margins for years now, and though IT executives grumble, they keep paying. Another company that is vulnerable is Infor, which is why hiring Oracle’s ex-co-president, Charles Phillips, as its CEO was an important move. With far fewer technical resources and tighter purse strings, one of his most difficult jobs will be to drive a company that is the result of consolidating the weaker players in the enterprise software business in an era of innovation. His task is daunting but far from impossible. I think in this coming decade the introduction of innovation in enterprise applications will accelerate. That will change the terms of engagement in the market, but it’s not clear to me at this point that any of the market leaders is better or worse positioned to adapt. That will become clearer over the next two years. It should be interesting to watch. Let me know your thoughts or come and collaborate with me on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

Doug for years edited the TechWeb (and before that CMP) publication Intelligent Enterprise, and in my opinion did a great job of distilling all that was important in BI and the enterprise use of information for competitive advantage. But he isn’t editing IE anymore. Now he’s producing the InformationWeek Enterprise Software Newsletter, which means that the world of business technology publishing has experienced yet another contraction. Now, it may be my bias showing; we here think that companies faced with the challenge of improving their competitiveness and performance really ought to check in with us. But I understand the value of having access to information about and opinions on business technology easily and at no cost – I should, having been a business and technology magazine editor for years myself. But the business model for business magazine publishing, like the business model for “publications” in general (the quote marks are because the act of publishing has evolved to have a new meaning when the medium is HTML-based), is broken. There always was a disjunction between the editorial side of the house with its principled approach and the sales-oriented business side that earned the money to pay the bills and reward the owners. Journalism is expensive, and advertising dollars have fled elsewhere. So newspapers are dying, or consolidating, or leaving newsprint behind. And companies seeking to reach the eyeballs of potential customers are hunting about wildly, much as Tom Kuhn said would occur when a crisis undercut the conceptual framework of a paradigm. And so technology publishing is contracting. Or fragmenting. Delivering news no longer works as a mission, so the weeklies are, as actual weeklies, gone. The technology publishing powerhouses – Ziff-Davis, IDG, CMP – are no more. What remain are niche “titles” – function-focused, vertically focused, mission-defined. As a result, the burden is being shifted to the reader. And this makes it relevant to repeat a caution being heard often these days: Do not be content to read just material that reinforces what you already know. Seek out a breadth of information and a diversity of opinions, and always ask for the evidence, the data that supports assertions. Put slightly differently, my recommendation is that you choose information channels shaped – edited, I once would have said, but packaged is today the more accurate term – by journalists, by professionals who understand how to pursue, assemble and vet information. Which is to say, seek out folks like Doug Henschen. Let me know your thoughts or come and collaborate with me on Facebook and LinkedIn.

Take “contact center” for example. The meaning was clear when it was just the call center because people knew it was a place that centralized the handling of customer phone calls. It became the virtual call center when calls were distributed over multiple sites. Then it became the contact center because some companies started to ask agents (a term that is interchanged with customer service representative, customer service agent and the like) to handle forms of interaction other than calls – e-mail, letters, chat and others. Now “center” has lost relevance as interactions are handled by the “best” person in an organization, whether in a formal center or working at home; indeed the agent may be in-company or working for a third party that provides outsourced interaction-handling services. This situation makes the term “contact center analytics” imprecise because what is really required is interaction-handling analytics. Verint is one vendor that has caught up with the terminology, and that is reflected in a newly released product called Customer Interaction Analytics (CIA). CIA allows companies to monitor and analyze customer interactions across multiple communication channels (or touch points) such as chat, e-mail, phone and social media. It is part of the company’s Impact360 workforce optimization suite that I assessed earlier this year and supports companies as they try to produce a complete picture of their customers, which is variously called the 360-degree customer view or the voice of the customer To achieve this Verint has partnered with Clarabridge to incorporate its text mining and analytics that I assessed recently. This well-established product can import text from multiple sources such as e-mail, letter, forms, surveys, chat scripts and social media and pick out words, phrases, trends and customer sentiments from the content. Verint has built a tool called Customer Data Joiner which can integrate this information with other information produced by Verint’s data and speech analytics products. It uses a common key – for example, a customer account number – to bring together all the information about a customer and produce a complete view of that customer’s interactions. One of the key benefits is that companies can now see customer sentiment as it is being expressed across multiple channels, for example, by spotting social media comments about bad customer experiences when calling the contact center. This information allows companies to do some rudimentary “cause and effect” analysis so that issues being raised on one channel can be used to improve performance in other areas. In one example I heard this type of analysis enabled a company to take $4 million it was about to spend in one area and redirect the investment to another area where its customers had serious issues. The first release of CIA includes this core analysis, and future developments will extend functionality into other areas. I have written several times about contact center analytics and the needs of companies to better understand how their centers are performing and how well they are handling customer interactions. However, my most recent benchmark research into contact center analytics showed that adoption rates of specialist analytics products are still low and the majority of companies continue to use spreadsheets to produce their contact center reports and analysis. While spreadsheets have their place in every organization, they are really not up to the job of producing complex analysis, particularly when it involves unstructured data such as voice recordings and text. Regarding change, one message from the research is that for companies to adopt these more specialized products, they must be easy to use and show a clear return on investment. From what I have seen, CIA is relatively easy to use, and the sentiment analysis will allow companies to take preventive actions to improve the customer experience before negative comments can do lasting damage. Is your company looking to improve the handling of customer interactions and make every customer interaction a positive one? If so, I recommend you look at CIA to see how it can help in your efforts.

The event led off with co-CEO Jim Hagemann Snabe discussing by video from Germany the business and technology areas in which SAP expects growth in 2011. Jim focused SAP’s efforts in on-premises and on-demand delivery, mobility and in-memory computing, which are important to a new generation of products the company is bringing to market. He asserted that SAP does not need to acquire a lot more technology to innovate and grow its portfolio. While I thought the apologetic attitude about being late in updating SAP’s on-premise applications was unnecessary, the emphasis on its growth and technology was well communicated. Vishal Sikka, leader of the technology and innovation platform area, was next and discussed its work to provide a solid foundation; SAP NetWeaver is at the center of its applications and efforts to operate across form factors from mobile to cloud. The latest release, NetWeaver 7.3, advances its standards-based interfaces for identity and life-cycle management and adds application interfaces to Duet Enterprise (its collaboration with Microsoft) and enterprise workspaces to its enterprise information management (EIM). In addition the next generation of business intelligence (BI) technology from Business Objects, code-named Aurora, is built on the NetWeaver platform, which is an approach similar to Oracle’s with its Fusion middleware platform. The Aurora platform integrates multidimensional or analytical data with relational structures and will be formally brought to market in 2011. Vishal has done a great job in personalizing the SAP technology environment, which is no easy task following in the steps of the dynamic company cofounder Hasso Plattner. SAP has embraced Sybase technology significantly since closing the acquisition that I assessed earlier this year (See: “SAP Taking Sybase for Mobility and Database Technology”). Sybase is something of an industry secret, but its technology processes two billion messages a day and it provides a range of mobile application development tools. Raj Nathan, the CMO of Sybase, discussed cost-effectiveness in bringing mobile computing to banking and business processes. Sybase also has significant technology in complex event processing (CEP), which I regard as key to enabling operational intelligence, that it acquired from Aleri and now is part of what SAP calls Event Insight. Vishal Sikka made reference to the role of these technologies in a new class of capabilities and applications. This advance in CEP will keep SAP up with Oracle (See: “Oracle Complex Event Processing Advances Operational Intelligence“) and IBM with its Streams technology. As well Informatica has acquired two companies in this segment, 29West and AgentLogic, and eg solutions, Progress Software and Vitria are part of this technology movement. CEP is the latest evolution of an information architecture that dates back decades to banking ATMs and retail point-of-sale systems where I first was personally involved with it. SAP’s strongest push seems to be in the area of in-memory computing. It has introduced its High-Performance Analytics Appliance SAP HANA, which can perform analytics on large data volumes at heightened scales; SAP says it has run a customer benchmark of 460 billion rows 20 times faster and 200 times better in price/performance ratio than others by leveraging multicore processing. SAP ran this configuration for a very large consumer packaged goods company to demonstrate the detailed level of analysis it can deliver for performing trade and promotion analysis. This step is significant to compete directly with IBM, Oracle and SymphonyIRI, which specializes in large-scale analytics with what it calls Liquid Data (See: “SymphonyIRI Hosts CPG Summit for Manufacturers and Retailers to Collaborate on Innovation“). This focus on in-memory computing continues up from the company’s SAPPHIRE user conference earlier this year where Hasso Plattner eloquently described the possibilities. This technology can operate on HP hardware, and I wonder whether it might replace HP’s efforts with Neoview, which I recently discovered is being discontinued (See: “HP Gives Up on Business Intelligence and Analytics Markets“). SAP is taking in-memory computing very seriously and sees the potential to impact the entire database and middleware markets with its new offering. Continuing on the executive stage, Sanjay Poonen, group executive for solutions management and line-of-business solution sales, provided some perspective on SAP’s approach to the lines of business and in deepening its efforts across vertical industries. SAP is combining its expertise with its business analytics portfolio and technology platform to bring new products to market rapidly. Sanjay has been working behind the scenes to advance its analytics portfolio in BI, EIM, governance, risk and compliance (GRC) and enterprise performance management to advance the company’s 50,000 application customers. I recently wrote about SAP’s new analytics efforts (See: “SAP Unveils Next Generation of Business Analytics“) that are designed to interoperate across platforms. Though SAP mostly has offered its products in an on-premises approach, it now is working to utilize its experience in on-demand and on-device technology assets. It is good to see this executive leadership, which has worked for years behind the scenes to advance products and sales, recognizes this transformation. SAP always presents a lively customer panel as part of its events, and EVP of Marketing Jonathan Becher brought a range of companies and roles to the stage, including the CFO at Sambazon, a strategist from Intel and technology executives at Centric and EMC. Their dialogue provided some perspective on key points of SAP’s overall ecosystem of customer and partner efforts. The event transitioned into an executive Q&A that touched a range of key points. It was interesting to hear a technology discussion about the partnership with Microsoft in Duet Enterprise, which my sources say is not advancing as fast as desired because many organizations are not anxious to upgrade to the latest release of Microsoft Office, which is necessary to derive the true value of Duet. This caution by organizations to update their underlying platform has good reasons in terms of cost and resource constraints, and SAP is not able to do anything about that. To follow up on the line-of-business solutions, I attended EVP Richard Campione’s session. He said that SAP is shifting its advertising and messaging to be more about the customer and what it is doing to ”run better,” which might seem simplistic but did provide examples from the real world of users. Also he emphasized SAP’s rapid deployment solution (RDS) that focuses on providing value in 90 days compared to its reputation of taking 12 to 18 months to reach that point. Richard also spoke about efforts in business collaboration with SAP StreamWork, which can help find talent and use social graph techniques to assemble the right people for discussion or a new team. He made clear that SAP’s approach to business collaboration is about solutions and not horizontal like those of IBM, Microsoft or Salesforce Chatter. It is refreshing to see SAP thinking outside the box on what is possible in using its technology for new line-of-business solutions. Our research finds this is the largest growth area as business is involved in directly acquiring applications with limited support from IT. A downside to the whole event was having it occur on the same day as salesforce.com’s major conference Dreamforce, which had over 18,000 attendees. SAP seemed to dismiss the timing conflict along with my question to executives about partnering with salesforce.com to help customers interoperate applications and data across their environments. Unfortunately SAP had nothing to add here, which highlights the opportunity for other companies including Informatica, iWay Technology, Jitterbit and Pervasive that provide the ability to connect applications from separate companies. I found it puzzling that SAP has a conflict with the fastest-growing CRM company since SAP’s efforts in CRM have been challenged to support the changing needs of marketing, sales and customer service. In addition getting attention for its CRM effort should be a priority, but Salesforce Dreamforce far outdrew the SAP event; I myself attended Dreamforce the rest of the week as our firm is often asked about its applications by partners in the lines of business. Nevertheless I did stop in to see how CRM is going at SAP, and since our firm is on record that CRM is a dying category (See: “Is CRM Technology a Legacy or Innovative Investment?“), it was good to see that SAP is beginning to get that idea, too. I will publish a separate analysis of SAP’s efforts in focusing on business processes affecting the customer, but for now I’ll say that overall SAP is making some wise strategic investments into industry-specific applications, coming from SAP Imagineering. I did not get the impression that SAP understands the dynamics and solutions that attract the lines of business and drive current buying in customer experience management, agent performance management and sales performance management, to name just a few areas. I also must point out that SAP does not have the pizzazz you need in marketing to the marketing and sales functions and is not able to crisply demonstrate what is needed to succeed. It was disappointing to see only a series of canned demonstrations running off a DVD. It is seems probable that only acquisitions will help SAP escape its own CRM dilemma. It has tried bringing new leadership in over the years, and maybe they will get it now, but it was not apparent from these sessions. Again, I will cover this in a deeper perspective in coming days. Elsewhere the buzz and live demos were happening in the business analytics sessions, where SAP presented a range of new planning and analytics technologies, and customers actually showed why they are important. Organizations such as Lincoln Electric and Lionsgate conveyed upbeat feeling in their sessions led by group marketing executive Stephanie Buscemi and head of analytics marketing Jeff Veis. Demonstrations on the Apple iPad to show the next generation of sales and operations planning contributed to a very good session. In general, the SAP Influencer Summit was useful, and the executive direction on its applications and technology was clearly communicated. Many glitches in the logistics of the event and a lack of readily available copies of the presentations made it critical to keep detailed notes and do some digging, but I am used to that as part of my job. SAP did not spend much time talking about its cloud computing efforts besides the midmarket effort of SAP BusinessByDesign, and while I was hoping to hear how it might deepen its partnership with HP to provide analytics and other line-of-business solutions in the cloud, I realize that SAP must protect its current revenue-generating ecosystem of on-premises sales. In time, we expect to see SAP shift more to this effort as line-of-business buyers choose to spend on alternative approaches. This challenge is the same for IBM, which I just finished assessing after its global analyst summit (See: “IBM Struts Its Software Solutions and Middleware Stuff “). SAP’s positive activities in analytics, mobility and in-memory computing will arm it to introduce new and retrofitted applications for years to come.

There is the centuries-old practice that in recent decades has euphemistically been labeled “competitive intelligence” but that in plain language is industrial espionage or competitive spying – gaining an edge on the competition by finding out what it is planning or how it’s performing. Julian Assange has upped the stakes considerably by lowering the bar. A disgruntled employee no longer need do the work of making sub rosa contact with a competing company; all that’s required is zipping a bunch of files onto a thumb drive or DVD or, in an unsecure environment, just emailing them directly to a Web site willing to post them for public access. The implications this are many, and we will unquestionably be discussing them for some time to come. But the first of those is that it is vitally important to have a current and effective information management and security strategy, and to focus particularly on the details of information governance. But policy alone won’t do it; most of today’s corporate networks with thousands of users are likely no more secure than the “secret” network from which the Wikileaks documents allegedly came, so there are technology and people-related issues to discuss as well. It is entirely possible that businesses in competitive markets could be facing an unprecedented challenge to their product and marketing strategies, one that will test their ability to react and reposition quickly and effectively.

It simultaneously announced an additional $34 million of funding. As I pondered what the announcements mean, I couldn’t help but think of the bigger picture. Is this entrepreneurial action typical of an open source vendor? That begs the question of how an open source software vendor is supposed to act. Yves de Montcheuil, Talend’s VP of marketing, is certainly speaking a lot of “French” in a recent blog post aggressively defending open source companies and his in particular. Talend does provide an open source version of its technology and has developed a community of participants who work with and presumably contribute to the open source code base. And like many other open source vendors Talend uses a “freemium” model in which the base product is available in a free, open source version, but certain premium features are only available if you purchase a license or subscription for them. Fundamentally, open source is one among several business models for the software industry. The appeal of the open source model is the potential to grow market share more quickly than with an enterprise software model. (I’ll use this term to distinguish traditional, “proprietary” licensed software vendors from open source vendors.) By giving the software away you can attract more users to the product in the hope that some of those users will convert to paying customers before your company runs out of cash. It’s a balancing act to give away software with enough value to attract a significant community of users while also creating additional features and services that generate enough revenue to cover the entire costs of the organization. In fact it’s such a tough act that many open source companies struggle to stay alive. This is where the announcements indicate Talend is not behaving like an open source software company, seeming to have reached a tipping point that many open source companies never reach. It is competitive enough in its market space to be able to make bold and aggressive moves such as acquiring another company. Its investors were confident enough to support the move and add $34 million to the coffers. These steps are foreign to many in the open source community. Let’s look at that acquisition. Talend developed a portfolio of information management capabilities that includes data integration in the form of extraction, transformation and loading (ETL), data quality and master data management. Sopera adds SOA-based application integration capabilities as well as a services team. Service-oriented capabilities are particularly important when integrating cloud-based applications with on-premises applications or with other cloud-based applications. From a business perspective this gives Talend another item to add to its price list, and since Talend’s distribution and presence are much larger than Sopera’s that should help the bottom line. If you are an IT organization considering Talend, the broader capabilities could be a plus even if you don’t plan to use them initially. While the acquisition is impressive from a business perspective, it’s not exactly innovative from a technology perspective. Open source vendors generally follow the lead of enterprise software vendors in competing primarily on price or total cost of ownership (TCO) rather than on head-to-head comparisons of features. Enterprise software vendors such as IBM, Informatica and SAP have a similar or broader suite of capabilities including application integration. But our research on information management shows the importance of managing costs to help drive return on investment (ROI), and enterprises have rewarded innovations in the form of a business model that reduces costs. My conclusion is that Talend both is and isn’t acting like an open source vendor. It has used the open source business model to its advantage and now appears to be in a position to act more like an enterprise software company. Regardless of what the business model is, the new capabilities and new funding should make Talend products more attractive to enterprise IT organizations.

Since then NICE has corrected my impression, pointing out that the product is still available in pretty much the same form as always. The problem is that you have to look hard to find it because it has been renamed Real-Time Process Optimization. If you follow this link, you won’t see confirmation that this really is the eglue product, but I assure you it is. By whatever name, the software is now part of the overall NICE SmartCenter suite and does what it always did. Bringing all the systems and data that an agent needs to handle customer interactions together in a single window, it allows agents to drill down into this information by clicks of a mouse, and it pops information onto the desktop to guide agents on what they should do next. It is highly configurable and can be set up to work for different users and to meet a company’s business rules, such as for dealing with regulatory issues or driving up-sell opportunities. Real-Time Process Optimization also has taken over as the main system to collect and analyze desktop usage. The result is a smart desktop that can reduce average call-handling time, increase first-call-resolution rates and customer satisfaction, reduce training times for agents and their frustration in having to use a cumbersome desktop, and ensure that agents follow defined best practices for interaction-handling. As those of you that follow me regularly will know, I am a great advocate of the smart desktop. It responds to one of the greatest challenges companies face today – improving customer satisfaction with the way their calls are handled in a contact center. My research into customer experience management shows that the majority of companies recognize they are not very good at this and are losing money and business because of it. The smart desktop, plus more focused agent training, is essential for companies to address this issue. The majority of agent desktops now in use can only be described as a mess, and they force agents to use multiple desktops to access different systems, typically having to log in to multiple systems to get the information they need. Agents sometimes have to navigate across systems and jump through multiple screens within an application just to complete the simplest of tasks. This effort keeps callers waiting, often produces conflicting information and fails to resolve their issues – an unpleasant experience that costs the company more than it ought to. Companies looking to invest in systems to address these issues should consider NICE Systems and its Real-Time Process Optimization product, which retains the features of the old eglue product and is certainly up to the task.

Essentially, the change is this: The company has decided to leave the BI market, which includes analytics and data warehousing software. It will do this by shutting down its marketing, sales and product efforts with HP Neoview and related technologies. This major shift comes in the middle of HP’s executive transition from Mark Hurd as CEO to Leo Apotheker. This is a puzzling decision as HP had been building a seasoned sales organization in BI and focus on analytics across industries. I wrote recently about the relationship between the HP CEO scandal and its dedication to enterprise software, noting that it was neither funding that area for growth nor making acquisitions, which it has done in other areas. I also wrote that HP had an opportunity to advance HP Neoview (See: “HP Perseveres in Data Warehousing with Neoview”) but that doing so would require investments in marketing and the completeness of the product offering for analytics and solutions. HP had begun to address the latter issue by reselling Informatica although it was not taking steps to acquire software companies as its competitors are doing. Now the whole landscape is changing: As the stakes for capturing customer commitment increase, HP appears to have no clear replacement strategy or enhanced offering for its current customers or prospects for BI solutions. I have to wonder why HP would shut down its business intelligence operation when the demand for this type of enterprise software is increasing and its three main global competitors – IBM, Oracle and SAP – are moving aggressively to capture more of the market. Each of them is enhancing its software, combining it with hardware in appliances and growing through acquisitions. IBM just held a global software analyst summit conference outlining its continued investments and growth, and SAP’s analyst summit is coming up this week; both vendors feature prominently places on their agendas presentations outlining the new era they envision for analytics, business intelligence and information management technologies. To answer to my own question, I think that HP’s leadership truly does not understand the software technology markets, and this has hindered its ability to make significant progress in the last three years. As I have pointed out, the software organization has been flailing about to understand the importance of a clear strategy in this area and recently replaced Tom Hogan the company’s head of software with Bill Veghte from Microsoft; and he reports to Executive VP Ann Livermore, who all have no experience in business intelligence and related software markets. HP has a history of acquiring software companies but then not allowing executives from the acquisition to play substantive roles in moving forward. To put it bluntly, HP could have taken a much stronger position in broader enterprise software, business intelligence and information management markets, but ineffective leadership has prevented it from doing that. HP hasn’t been able to expand much beyond some acquired assets and its core presence in IT management software or what it calls business technology optimization (BTO) that was acquired with Mercury Interactive. That acquisition has yielded for billions of dollars in revenue for HP, but the rest of its software portfolio nonetheless has struggled and continues to struggle to gain traction. I am on record about these challenges (See: “HP Takes Technology Portfolio to the Clouds with New Growth Strategy”), as well as HP’s slow pace in advancing its core IT management software and a lack of synergy between its cloud computing and business intelligence efforts. In 2008 (See: “HP Software Advances and Transforms”)) I commented on its use of bizarre acronyms and terms to describe its approach and its misunderstanding of the buyer and supplier markets. For many years HP has been using terms that IT buyers do not understand such as “information optimization”; technobabble does not help any company gain market share let alone credibility. It wasn’t always this way. Back in the late 1990s HP innovated with a technology called HP Information Warehouse that provided large-scale data warehousing and analytic capabilities before most other vendors were addressing this need. Its introduction of HP Neoview reinvigorated the Tandem NonStop SQL technology for analytics and data warehousing. CEO Mark Hurd and CIO Randy Mott, who came from Dell in 2005, advocated using Neoview internally to develop an information management and BI strategy that would help reduce its own costs to keep the lights on. Mott and Hurd had a long relationship and agreed on the HP Neoview strategy, but with Mark gone it appears that the new leadership has decided to drop this strategy – without having a replacement for it. In recent years HP has made significant investments in consulting services with its major acquisition of EDS and, earlier of BI and data warehouse specialist Knightsbridge; these could be applied to strengthen its position in the emerging analytics market which utilizes BI and information management technologies to address business needs. Also HP’s services team and its outsourcing programs could be used as a strategic asset with which to compete against IBM. Now that it is devaluing its own software assets. HP will have to take an approach similar to Accenture’s, adding value to someone else’s tools. However, such an approach requires leadership, and many of the veterans from Knightsbridge and EDS have moved on to other organizations that are committed to succeed in this market. HP’s decision to bail out of BI will please IBM (See: “IBM Brings Business Analytics and Information Management to Center Stage”) and Oracle (See: “Oracle Expands its Playbook at OpenWorld”). Under Mark Hurd HP was beginning to make inroads in successfully presenting solutions to CIOs. Now of course he is with Oracle (See: “Oracle Hopes Mark Hurd Brings New Herd of Business“) and is likely to use his previous experience at Teradata to build up Oracle Exadata and its BI and analytics offerings as the Fusion line brings new potential to its customer base. Having just consulting services and hardware to offer, HP will be less able to offer integrated solutions to IT and business executives. In addition, since IBM and Oracle have their own hardware, storage, services and software products, there is little reason for them to partner with HP moving forward. SAP, which unveiled a new strategic initiative on business analytics across industries and lines of business (See: “SAP Unveils Next Generation of Business Analytics”), likewise now has one less competitive threat. (I wonder whether HP might opt to resell SAP’s entire line of analytics and BI software in order to have a complete package to offer.) Even Teradata has a more integrated solution than HP (See: “Teradata Advances Analytics across the Board”); at one time I thought that Hurd as CEO of HP might even manage an acquisition through his relationship with Teradata. Leo Apotheker took the helm as HP’s CEO in November and must make some serious decisions about what to do next since his software executive team has apparently created a disaster with its recent changes instead of waiting until his arrival. A seasoned software executive and previous CEO of SAP, he understands enterprise software better than most executives but has little to work with as the kernel of HP’s offering appears to be dried up. Leo was in my opinion unfairly pushed out of SAP. With HP he is in another difficult position as he must run the entire company but needs to find trusted leadership for the software organization to address the deteriorating situation. That leadership will have to come from outside of HP; the tactic of internal promotion with individual external hires has not worked. HP also faces an issue here of losing good people: In the last 60 days a number of people from its BI solutions group have left, and others are in the process of leaving. HP’s culture is difficult to change, and its software organization is not likely to get past its current leadership issues without a series of bold strategic moves. Just hiring new software leadership won’t change the culture, but it could produce a more sound approach to the market. Beyond that, what is needed can be described in one word: acquisitions. IBM, Oracle and SAP all had to acquire new technology and talent to break out of internal cultural and product stagnation and establish a foundation on which to grow. IBM acquired Ascential, Cognos, SPSS, Netezza and others. Oracle came up with Hyperion, Siebel and others, and SAP with Business Objects, Sybase and others. All these are part of a massive preparation for the next wave of information technology spending, which will focus on the information itself. For HP, which made little investment in this segment despite having the most cash of the four, not many software vendors remain as potential acquisitions. And those that are left are successful and so will require a premium to acquire. One of the key software stacks in the analytics market, which not coincidentally has some of the most vocal and satisfied customers, belong to MicroStrategy, Teradata and Informatica. I recently saw firsthand a slew of customers using their products to business advantage in our 2010 Ventana Research Leadership Awards. Other possible choices include Actuate, Information Builders and QlikView, as well as Tibco and Pervasive. But maybe HP chooses not to put a priority on increasing revenue and margins in this sector and would rather sit it out, or do something on a large scale, like acquire SAP or Infor, whose new CEO is Charles Phillips, until recently the co-President of Oracle. It short it looks like anything is possible, as 2010 has been a year of transition for senior software executives across the industry. But HP should not delay for long, as the market for acquisitions continues to be active and HP could be left out, in the worst case becoming a legacy technology provider in the new decade. If you are currently using HP’s BI software and services, this is a moment to reassess your options. With its withdrawal from this market, you could end up having to write off your existing investments. Don’t underestimate the value of having integrated technology for specific business needs. I would also move cautiously in considering committing more resources and efforts. I advise you to start to think about plans for BI and broader analytics beyond HP; these tools are too important to your processes and decision-making to wait for HP to straighten out its business approach and leadership. For HP, I wish you good luck. If you need help understanding the BI, analytics and other markets, why the past predicts the future and why you are missing out on the one of the largest software opportunities in history, give me a call and I will be happy to help.

We were walking along a gallery one story above the shop floor when he pointed down to it and told me that when he first looked down on this scene he saw people dashing madly back and forth. Rather than taking that as a good sign of a busy factory, he said it was a clear indication to him of how inefficient the operation was and why the company was losing money. He immediately went about realigning the factory’s layout to smooth out physical flows and re-examined its manufacturing processes, and soon the business was profitable. I think of using performance management to drive sustainability in the same way. Often an unorthodox, orthogonal perspective on how a business operates can reveal important opportunities for improving performance. Such a novel approach to assessing business activities can break through inertia and the entrenched mindset of “we’ve always done it this way” that stand in the way of improvement. Inertia drives (or impedes) a lot of what happens in most companies, but performance management can be used to overcome inertia. In terms of sustainability, the idea of “green” office buildings can conjure up images of grass-topped roofs and futuristic gizmos, but many of the biggest savings will come from more prosaic changes such as redesigning the fans used by heating and ventilation systems. How is it possible that after several severe spikes in energy prices over the past decades no one had done this before? We correctly assume that engineers are considering the optimal fan design, but as it turns out, “optimal” has meant stamping them out as cheaply as possible, not redesigning them for more efficiency. Since the contractors buying the systems are evaluated more on capital cost than on ongoing efficiency, achieving standard performance at the lowest cost was driving design considerations. Conservation and efficiency – and thus sustainability – are longstanding management issues as much as contemporary environmental and political ones. Conservation of any resource is a key to business success, and the important, large-ticket items are always under scrutiny. The smaller things? Maybe not – at least not in North America. Sustainability – at least in my interpretation of its intent – should be a sustained, concerted effort at eliminating waste and embracing methods that conserve. In theory this shouldn’t be a big deal except that, as anyone who has worked in a large organization knows, people usually have more important things to do – like their jobs. So one of the most important requirements for achieving an economic return from a sustainability effort is to make it part of an overall performance management approach, one that encourages as many people as possible to find ways to conserve as part of their jobs. Since “what gets measured gets done,” it’s important to include sustainability – an ongoing effort to conserve resources – in how companies measure performance. But making sure that individuals and business units take the time to identify opportunities to achieve savings is only half of what it takes to get results. The other half is having a structured process in place to ensure that people act on these opportunities. For companies in North America and to some extent in Europe, the great recession has brought about profound changes in staffing levels and has led to a substantial increase in labor productivity. As the recovery continues, increased demand makes it unlikely that corporations will be able to maintain these levels of productivity. I believe “sustainability” is one area where companies can continue to enhance productivity, and not just companies that focus intensively on a handful of resources. Using performance management is crucial to focusing everyone’s attention on the little things that collectively add up to ongoing improvements in profitability and, incidentally, environmental sustainability.

The cloud is much discussed in the business arena these days as well, but that conversation is being driven, I suspect, by an interest not in power but in cost. Enterprise system deployments – of ERP systems, CRM, supply chain and logistics management, HR management systems – are time-consuming, and costly, and fraught with hassles and missteps and wrong turns. Wouldn’t it be nice, the thinking goes, to hand that all off to someone else and rather than buying a bunch of hardware and software and installing it in a data center (or data closet), simply rent the device that that system delivers from someone else, taking delivery via the Internet. You don’t have to think about that very long, do you? “You betcha!” is the answer. As technology, the cloud is hardly a radical advance – it’s the client-server model of 20 years ago brought forward into the 21st century.

But it also stands to reason that business- and corporate-issued technology tools will lag in performance a bit behind what we choose to have in our dens or studies or family rooms. At home our criteria will be cost, of course, but also the ability to play games, or download entertainment files of various kinds, or shop easily and quickly, or, increasingly, keep up with friends and family on social networking sites. Business infrastructure marches to an entirely different drummer. It needs to be cost-effective. It needs to be compatible with the systems on which the company operates. It needs to be efficiently supportable by the IT department, whatever form that takes. And it needs to be used for as long as it efficiently delivers value to the company. (Let’s not even talk about smartphones and the like – talk about IT headaches!) That latter criterion is an interesting one. How does the IT department determine that it is doing what it is charged with as effectively as possible? As it happens, we should have an answer for you pretty soon now.

He or she got nothing; the perpetrator also managed to cost me at least the $500 deductible and, far worse, throw me into the maw of the monster that is the auto insurance bureaucracy. What will come out the other end still remains to be seen; I’ll keep you posted. But what this unexpected event brought home to me – OK, call me a bit strange – is the importance of the information management we research and write about so often. The police took down the information, and gave me a case number; presumably the incident is recorded in the department’s database. The insurance company gave me a claim number; what that number represents, I presume, is what I told the claims agent on the phone plus a link to my policy information. The claims adjustor came to look at my wounded car, then keyed in its VIN so he didn’t have to manually enter the details about the car, then consulted a parts database for part numbers and pricing and another database for the labor cost of the repairs. Then that got converted to a computer-generated report of the projected repair to me, the insurance company and the shop that will do the work. So much data; so much information. And so little integration. When we focused our benchmark research on information management, that macro picture reflected what I’m experiencing: two-thirds of companies are still in the early stages of integration the information they rely on to operate. On the other hand, nearly three-fifths of businesses told us they view it as very important to improve information availability and readiness. So there’s hope. Hope for the big picture, anyhow. As to repairing my convertible top and the jimmied storage compartments, that’s unfortunately another story. Let me know your thoughts or come and collaborate with me on Facebook and LinkedIn .

Financial performance management (FPM) is the process of addressing the often overlapping issues around people, process, information and information technology that affect how well finance organizations operate and support the activities of the rest of the organization. FPM deals with the full cycle of finance department activities including planning, forecasting, analysis, closing and reporting. As I noted in my earlier blog about this year’s FPM Value Index, one striking feature of this software category is its general maturity. Budgeting and planning, reporting, closing and statutory consolidation, as well as dashboards and scorecards, have been around for more than a decade, so the suites we examined are all feature-rich and with one notable exception have remarkably similar capabilities at this time. (The exception is automated preparation of XBRL-tagged financial documents for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission – the SEC). Consequently the Value Index scores were tightly clustered. SAP’s suite just edged out those of IBM and Infor in the rankings, though both of those earned the Hot Vendor rating. Another finding that’s remarkable to me is that while the financial performance management suites have a mature set of functionality to support finance departments, users consistently underutilize their features and functions. For instance, our research shows persistent lack of maturity in companies’ planning and budgeting processes: Half of the companies with 1,000 or more employees that we benchmarked take longer than a business week to complete their financial close; the use of advanced analytics continues to be hampered by inertia; and although organizations have made important advances in their use of scorecards, there is still plenty of room for improvement, especially in explicitly incorporating risk as part of a balanced scorecard assessment. SAP’s suite handles all of the financial performance management functions well and scales to the needs of very large organizations. It can support the most advanced integrated business planning efforts. It offers advanced analytics for developing measures and metrics, identifying trends and anomalies and refining forecasts. It handles the needs of companies with complex legal and financial structures in a variety of industries for statutory consolidations in multiple accounting regimes. But it has one notable omission. Currently, although SAP has automated XBRL tagging capabilities, it lacks the document assembly features that Host Analytics, IBM (through its recent acquisition of Clarity Systems, Longview and Oracle offer. At the same time, SAP has software that manages and automates aspects of the financial close, including intercompany reconciliation and close management. One element of SAP’s offering that wasn’t included in our Value Index is profitability management. While these packages have come a long way over the past couple of decades in simplifying profit optimization, only a relative handful of companies outside of financial services (the earliest and most enthusiastic user) have adopted them. I think one important reason is that “profitability management” is rarely part of someone’s specific job description. However, this software is adept at methodically automating the allocations process for management reporting. So rather than having analysts repetitively perform their magic in spreadsheets every month, quarter and year, corporations can ensure that shared costs are applied accurately and consistently to business units. This is especially useful in situations where utilization of shared resources changes from one period to the next, or replacing a simplistic approach with a more robust model for cost allocation will lead to better business decisions. Companies that are looking to implement or upgrade their financial performance management software have an impressive selection of vendor offerings from which to choose. I recommend that if you’re in this position you review the 2010 Value Index for Financial Performance Management to learn why we awarded SAP a Hot Vendor rating.
