Here's some notes on Workday that were sent to me today. This is a really interesting company that I am anxious to get more details on as their launch firms up. Aneel Bhusri and Dave Duffield spoke at the AMR conference today. They didn't really talk about what workday would offer but here are some of the items they did talk about: Today's ERP systems are outdated and they can't be re-architected. Solutions need to address the following needs: info workers, fluid orgs and new technologies. 3 principles of the next gen ERP: 1 flexible BPP - open workflow and bpel 2 ERP used by everyone - internet style UI; targeted to operational side of business, personalized, tight integration to desktop (mentioned Office 12 and Sharepoint) 3 native use of key technologies Adaptable systems Think about: pda's, VOIP and search-oriented navigation Marc Andreeson is involved Architecture: SOA, leverage open source components (not wholly open source - not key to what they're doing - pass on savings to customers), configurable UI (separate UI from underlying transactions) Not SQL or relational - organized around XML associate degree in accounting ocuments Doing pure definition development - trying to solve the programming dilemma Multi-tenant is a given - must be both hosted and on premise Dave's daughter runs marketing and his son runs sales. Launch will be in April timeframe. 35 people - 25 are ex psft Greylock is an investor Still working on pricing - would like to charge a lot for the software but it's cheap to own

The 10 winners used a total of 49 different products for their intranets' technology platforms. Clearly, intranet technology continues to be an unsettled field. The most-used products were: Windows Server, Google Search Appliance or Google Mini, SharePoint, SQL Server, Google Maps, Omniture, and Vignette. Some people might claim that it's "unfair" to include Microsoft products on this list, given that Microsoft's own intranet was one of the winners this year. Obviously, Microsoft tends to use Microsoft products, but many other winners did so as well. Also, IBM won last year's competition, and many other technology companies have won throughout the years. In each case, we gave the awards for the quality of user experience on the intranets, not for the product lines. The profile of Microsoft's intranet serves as a valuable case study in how to design a great intranet audiovox cdm8910 hile building on Microsoft products -- just as last year's IBM intranet profile is useful to the many companies that employ IBM products. http://www.useit.com/alertbox/intranet_design.html
