Clash of the Titans - Peter OKelly at TUG 2010 - Traction Software
Summary
Im happy to present a transcript and quotes from Peter OKellys TUG 2010 talk Communication/Collaboration/Content Competition, "Co-opetition," and Culture: Opportunities for Traction Software and its Customer Community. Peter draws on his career as an early Lotus Notes product manager, IBM Director of Business Development, Groove Networks product manager, MacroMedia vice president of strategy, Microsoft Solutions Architect, and senior analyst or director with the Patricia Seybold Group, the Burton Group, and OKelly Associates - see Peters LinkedIn page and personal blog. Using this 3C framework, Peter analyzes the history and culture of competing titans: Lotus / IBM, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and Cisco - and where Traction TeamPage fits. Im sure many of you have been in the Traction community for a long time understand 65 years ago, in July 1945 there was this seminal article in The Atlantic Monthly ‘As We May Think’ theres a link behind this you can go look at as well if you want to check it out. Thats sort of the wild frontier for a lot of people still so youve got document libraries, lists, wikis, workspace based discussion forums, I think thats the one thats least mature in the market right now.
