Strategy for maintaining multiple calendars

Life was easier when you had only one calendar to deal with. If you are like me, then you have made your life difficult by having too many unconnected calendars, causing misery! Here are a list of my calendars:

iCal (MacBook) Google iPhone Salesforce.com Tungle.com

Value Chains – which component provides the biggest value?

As I just tweeted, working out the route to market is easy, working out the optimum pricing strategy is harder. As we move forward with LC&SFI (Lead Capture and Salesforce.com Integration) project, I am debating about which part of our value chain has the biggest pricing opportunity?

Pricing right for sales lead integration with salesforce.com

Few weeks ago, I wrote about possible ways to integrate with Salesforce.com. The options explored included:

Traditional web-to-lead forms API, especially as edocr.com is based on OAuth and salesforce.com now has OAuth capability App Exchange

Since then, after much dialogue with salesforce.com employees, customers and partners, we have come to the conclusion, that App Exchange is the way forward [...]

Why am I rebranding Northern StartUp 2.0?

Unless something is done, it’s sustainability is questionable in the medium to long run. So here are my reasons for repositioning: 1. It must generate income to compensate effort. 2. Lacks the [...]
