Ballmer: Yahoo acquisition won’t happen

Posted in Corporate News, Microsoft on November 20th, 2008 by sunchandy – Be the first to comment

A change at the helm of Yahoo won’t revive a Microsoft takeover offer, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said during the company’s annual shareholders meeting on Wednesday. But he continues to leave the door open to another sort of deal with Yahoo. Microsoft is still interested in doing some sort of search collaboration deal, as it proposed before negotiations between the companies fell apart.

On Monday, Yahoo announced that CEO Jerry Yang intends to step down from that role after the company finishes its search for a successor. Yang has been heavily criticized for his resistance to Microsoft’s takeover offer earlier this year. Yang will continue to remain on the board.

The Risks and Rewards of Google Apps

Posted in Google on November 18th, 2008 by sunchandy – Be the first to comment


When we talk to businesses interested in Google Apps, we’re often asked the questions, Who is using Google Apps and how did they make the decision to switch? A key factor for many companies making the switch is cost savings and, as a result, we’ve seen more IT folks involve their finance counterparts in the decision-making and internal sell process. But even with significant cost savings, IT admins and finance naturally want to understand what risks there might be in moving their companies to Google Apps to decide if their companies are ready for change.

We thought that one of our customers would be the perfect person to answer these questions. Tom Kelly, is the CFO and CIO of 2nd Wind Exercise. This specialty retailer of exercise equipment has managed the rapid growth of its business using Google Apps while saving money at the same time. As an early adopter of Google Apps, Tom can tell you what has worked and what hasn’t from both an IT and finance perspective. We hope you can join us for a lively discussion.

Tom will tell his story and answer questions on a live webinar tomorrow at 1PM East/12PM Central/10AM Pacific. Register here. 

We will also continue to post the recordings to our YouTube channel. Thanks again for your support!
