I read this morning an Apple fan’s uncharitable view of Google and it occurred to me we all spent so much time on Apple v Microsoft, Oracle v SAP, IBM v HP type gossip, that we forget all the good technology work that is being done in corporate settings.
Well, in my small way, here is my counter balance – a column on Sand Hill celebrating the corporate technologist.
It will get a much smaller set of page views than the Apple/Google column, but you know what – last time I checked much as I admire both of them my car, my home appliances, the planes I fly and most other things in my life come from a very different set of suppliers – and I am more than happy to acknowledge all the innovations they are delivering.
