  • A few words on – The Cloudera Model

    Mike Olson, the Chief Strategy Officer at Cloudera, eloquently articulated the philosophy behind their business model in this LinkedIn article titled The Cloudera Model. I highly recommend anyone working on open source platforms and building value on top to stop coding, and read this article. Like right now! I would like to highlight one quote from the…

  • Internet Of Things: Opportunities for startups while behemoths trod around

    From an IoT Conference today, @torrey_barrett tweeted: Is this going to be the big guys’ game or can innovative companies break through? I am not at the conference, but this tweet got my attention. The big guys I am guessing is a reference to companies like IBM, Cisco, GE, Orange, Vodafone, Verizon, AT&T, and others…

    Technology-as-a-Service: An enterprise M2M strategy

    Machine to Machine (M2M), Industrial Internet, Internet of Things (IoT)… different names, but they all in a way converge on the same thing, looked through different lenses. This is one of the biggest emerging trends in network computing. Mega-trends like these happen once in a decade or longer. At Sun Microsystems where I spent 10 years,…

  • How to add context for my contacts @linkedin

    LinkedIn advises you to only accept connections from people you know. That’s not how it happens in the real world, at least not for me. You accept connections from people who you think you know or a friend knows, or who you just met at a party and thought you should connect for future interactions.…

  • Pet peeve: Industry award surveys

    If you are going to give an award, put together a group of real people, make up a criteria you can openly share with everyone, select the winners and announce the awards. Don’t just put up a silly survey with hundreds of possible categories and self-nominated awardee choices. Most people who go there will not…

  • Balancing Act: Build and Buy Strategy

    In most startups, you begin with a hypothesis of how you are going to address a need, and hope to build a product or a solution that can fulfill that need and build a business out of it. The time to market is one among the many pressures weighing down on your mind. How do…

  • JackBe Acquired: Congrats to the team!

Over the last 7+ years, I have obsessed about Presto, the pain points we tried to address with our product/technology, and the things we built to create this one-of-a-kind platform. I…

  • Engineering Methodology: Theme Based Releases

    In continuing with the previous blog on engineering methodology, I wanted to talk a bit more about how to work the requirements funneling and release management process. One of the challenging aspects of building a product is to figure out which requirements make sense and which don’t and keep the features in line with the…

  • JackBe Engineering Methodology

    Often I have been asked by customers, partners and friends, what methodology we use at JackBe to deliver our product releases. The closest I have come to describe it is to brush it off by saying we use Agile development methodology. But that is just scratching the surface. When you dig me in for more…
