Sage MAS Community

Visit the new MAS community site which is being launched.

It will feature product specific forums; blogs; discussion board; tips and tricks; etc. 

Also, my colleagues and I will use the community site to blog all things that matters MAS. Here is my blog on the MAS site. Some day – I will attempt to link and aggregate posts from both sites.

I am excited about the community forum and look forward to seeing a vibrant community growing. Check it out (http://community.sagemas.com)

Weekend wrap

Few stories caught my attention as I wrap up the weekend:

1. Use of hologram during election coverage by CNN. I am not sure how many saw it during the telecast on Tuesday. It looked cool on TV. Although technology remains some what weak.  Also, some time back Cisco shared its telepresence initiative that is making buzz as well.

Anyway – Gizmodo has details on how holograms were brought to life during election coverage. Check it out.

2. Need entrepreneurs. While I am on the topic of election – I was reading an article on Forbes written by Sramana Mitra about President Obama and his promise to create 5 million jobs. Her point to create 5 million jobs will require creating 50,000 entrepreneurs. I agree. Listening to entrepreneurs and nurturing a supportive environment is what will take get economy back on track.

3. Is humility and ignorance a missing trait in business environment? This article from James Montier on investment captures the thought well. Somewhere along the line people start to appear know-all; can’t-fail, over-confident bunch. Anyway, few nuggets from the article that caught my attention: 

Quote from Confucius: “To ask a question is but a moment’s shame, but to live in ignorance is lifelong shame”

“…that we need to learn more and more about less and less until we know everything about nothing…”

Summit 2008

From Nov 16th to Nov 20th, I will be in Denver attending our annual customer conference – Sage Summit.  

I am double excited to attend Summit this time. One – another opportunity to connect with customers and partners that use our product. Second – this is the first time I will be back in Colorado since my family and I relocated to California. I have lot of friends in the city and I look forward to meeting several of them.

Denver – here I come.
