Accenture announced its results for Q1 (three months ended 30 November) of its fiscal year 2008. Rev...
OVUM. Angel DobardzievComment: Accenture continues to impress with the strength, discipline and consistency of its execution. There were a lot of eyes on Accenture's results this quarter, after an analyst event last month where its management was very bullish despite concerns of the effects of the credit crunch. Those that expected an impact in this set of numbers would have been disappointed: these are an excellent set of results.Below the high level picture, we note the usual mix in the pace o...

A couple of weeks ago we got an update from Deloitte at its EMEA analyst summit. Deloitte is perform...
OVUM.Angel DobardzievLeaving aside the audit and tax business, C&A makes Deloitte a global consulting and technology behemoth with $9.2bn in revenues, up by a very healthy 18% in the last financial year. We note that three quarters of its revenues comes from strategy and operations, risk, HR, and financial management led engagements, with the rest from system integration and outsourcing services.Comment: Deloitte's contrarian decision not to separate its audit and consulting businesses in 20...

Google formally announced on Friday that it intends to participate in the 700MHz spectrum auction wh...
OVUM. Jan DawsonComment: This resolves the uncertainty for now in terms of whether Google will bid or not, but still leaves unanswered the question of what Google is really up to here. It has already succeeded in getting the terms of the auction changed such that certain open access rules will apply to the 'C' Block of spectrum, which was probably a trigger for Verizon's announcement on open access earlier this week, and a big part of the battle has arguably therefore already been won. But it is...

It utilises the Open Source Lucene indexing library and can search a maximum of 500,000 documents.Improvements in this edition include the functional ability to separate searched content into separate collections and support for more browsers. But more importantly for smaller organisations with limited IT resources, it has an improved administration console, reducing further the work required to install and maint...

Diario Ti 23/11/2007Aunque puede ser costoso desarrollar un programa informático, una vez que éste está terminado los gastos de producir nuevas copias son mínimos. Las compañías que logran superar la frontera mágica en que los ingresos superen los costes, pueden rápidamente percibir enormes ganancias. Sin embrago, este lucrativo modelo de negocios se ve amenazado desde varios frentes. El código abierto, el software como servicio (SaaS), y la externalización son tres tendencias que según la cons...

OVUM. Adam LeachSo what exactly is Android and how will it usher in a new area of mobile application development?Comment: What has been clear from the first announcement is that Android will include an operating system and this will be based on the Linux kernel (v2.6 to be precise). No surprises here - Linux is increasingly being adopted by silicon vendors and handset vendors as the kernel is considered a commodity in the mobile software stack. The use of Linux also serves Google well by establi...

Hewlett-Packard announced that it was acquiring EYP Mission Critical Facilities, a New York-based c...
OVUM. John MaddenComment: This is a case of HP hiring - and then acquiring - a company with skills that fit with its renewed marketing focus on infrastructure services, which HP is touting under its new three-part Data Center Transformation banner. HP contracted with EYP MCF to assist with its ongoing consolidation of 80-plus worldwide data centers to six locations - and HP executives were evidently impressed enough with the experience to acquire the company outright. EYP MCF executives said the...

Quickly: It's time to change the term IT (information technology) to BT (business technology).
August 18, 2006A little history: The discipline of running computers in large companies was once called "data processing" (DP). The name made sense because it was all about mainframe computers spitting out piles of green bar paper inscribed with numbers. As word processors, personal computers, minicomputers, and other interlopers came on the scene in the early 1980s, the DP term was dropped in favor of "management information systems" (MIS). In the early 1990s, the cool new term be...
