ellementK: (ĕll'ǝ-mǝnt-kā)
noun - A fundamental, essential, or irreducible constituent of a composite entity. Middle English, from Old French, from Latin About Eleanor Kruszewski: I'm known variously as Eleanor or Elle. My last name is like that coach from Duke - kru-shef-ski. Based in Menlo Park, CA, I work for Yahoo! in their Developer Network. The easiest description of what I do is the MBA shin kicker, handling community, marketing, commercial programs and sundry backend stuff. Disclaimer: I've done big corps, midcorps, and startups, so I overstate and oversimplify as much as anyone else. These opinions are my own, not my employer's. |
« Mobile search rundown | Main | Personal media keeps coming up » That enterprise software licensing problem…..At Symposium and increasingly in commentary and news, it’s apparent that the time-honored models of selling perpetual software licenses are breaking down. Customers are increasingly drawn to service providers and ASPs who sell ’software as a service’ — they sell access but not the intellectual property of the code. To get a sense of the current mood, see eWeek’s report on discussions at the SoftSummit conference held last week in Santa Clara. Also worth reading is this IDC report discussing the issue in a more academic way, focusing on the upcoming financial headaches for ISVs as their revenue streams are strained by disappearing upfront license payments. |
