The Death of Enterprise Software?

Tom Wentworth's picture
Last week, IBM announced disappointing earnings, which caused the biggest decline for IBM shares in eight years. IBM lost $19 billion in market value. IBM’s drop follows Oracle, who also reported disappointing earnings in its last quarter. Both companies had a similar explanation for why the numbers were down - a shortfall in sales execution in their software businesses. Really? It’s always easy to blame sales people for poor performance. But are we expected to believe that the same sales team who delivered consistent performance in the past is now to blame for a huge revenue miss? Or are... More

Drolutions - On Drupal's flexible framework

Frederik Demets's picture
Part of being a member of the Acquia Solutions Architecture team is coming up with creative solutions on a daily basis. When discussing a certain use case, usually our team comes up with at least 4 different ways of solving a particular problem in Drupal.

We figure out together what's the biggest thing holding Drupal back right now, and whatever it is, we just tackle it." This is part one of a two-part conversation. Here, we discuss... More

Drupal has so much to offer to developers. It allows you to experiment, innovate and work with innumerable modules. Drupal does not try to limit you. Wouldn’t it be great if your hosting platform also offered multiple interfaces and functionality? Well, Acquia Cloud allows you to extend its capabilities using cloud API and cloud hooks. Some of you are perhaps familiar with the workflow UI page on the cloud platform. The UI lets you instantly deploy code, files and databases using a simple “Drag and Drop” function. But as a developer, I would like to know that I have more options to work... More
