Technology History Mistakes and Opportunities

Published on April 9, 2012April 11, 2012 by hansh51Leave a comment

In 20 years in the technology sector I have seen a lot of both good and bad strategic decisions. At Microsoft I was with a company that was on the good side and then was on the bad side. I saw many competitors make what were poor strategic decisions. Decisions that in the end would either sink them or put them in a place of constant struggle for success or viability. I thought it would be good to look back on some of my favorite “stupid” decisions made by companies in the industry.

Lets head to Utah for bad decision number one: WordPerfect. This was a company that when the personal computer first came onto the scene quickly became the number one player in Word Processing. Competing against other notable companies like Wordstar, Wang, and Microsoft Word. If one thing killed them off quickly it can be summed up in the acronym GUI (Graphical User Interface). When Apple launched the Mac, Microsoft used it as an opportunity to learn about creating software for the GUI. WordPerfect on the other hand dipped their toes in the water and when they did not see the sales they wanted on the Mac, killed it. As Microsoft became more enamored with something called Windows, WordPerfect dug their heels in and supported DOS, where they were a leader. The problem being Microsoft owned both DOS and Windows and had more or less stated Windows was the future. Towards the end the only thing WordPerfect had going for it was free technical support. Sounds nice from a customer perspective, but if you looked at the costs, not sustainable. WordPerfect over time just seemed to disappear.

Apple actually makes the list. During the period where there was no Steve Jobs. Early learning here is Steve Jobs killed himself off when he hired Pepsi executive, John Sculley. Steve’s pitch to John was, “Do you want to change the world or sell sugared water”. As Steve learned people who sell sugared water don’t change the world. However they are master politicians which led to Steve’s ouster. Apple would go through several CEO’s before Steve returned. Some like, Micheal Spindler would start to pursue a OEM model where they license the software, like Microsoft. A nice form of flattery, but not in the Apple DNA. Steve would come back, kill this plan, and we know the rest.

Next up we return to Utah and Novell Netware. When the computer network first became popular, Novell was the dominant player for our file and print services. However one stupid decision killed the company. Why just a file and print server and not a app server to? I remember I was in a meeting with Bill Gates and he went off about why Novell did not do this. He was stunned that they did not have the foresight to see what was coming in the industry. In his view had they just added application services, Windows Server would never have garnered the market share it did. A second more technical item was Novell had a proprietary protocol called IPX/SPX. They did not support the dominant internet standard called TCP/IP. Eric Schmidt, when he was at Novell worked on fixing this, but then this startup called Google came knocking and he left for greener pastures (much greener as it turned out). As I am sure you all know this internet thing became rather large and Novell played themselves out of the market. Oops.

As we entered a new millennium things would change. My old company, Microsoft, which seemed to do no wrong would make plenty of mistakes in the new century’s beginning. They might say search was a big mistake, but as I have said they never would have figured it out. Google developed a new software business model. They did a classic Sun Tzu, when faced with greater numbers change the playing field. Probably the first blunder was the mobile phone space. Though they might say they were successful prior to the iPhone I never saw it that way. THe Microsoft strategy was a smartphone was a business phone and they went head on after RIM. I never saw it that way. I saw smartphone’s just a natural evolution of mobile phones and as more intelligence was put in the phone, the smartphone would be a consumer phone. Then the iPhone launched and that was the end of the Microsoft mobile story. I know they have this Nokia thing going on, but as good as the phone is, everything I am reading is it is too late.

Going back to search the big loser was Yahoo. Jerry Yang had a dotcom success story, but was really just pushed aside by a competitor with a better search engine and a better business model. Google ate everybody up in this space. They proved the age-old business adage, revenue is king. It was not long before Yahoo was on the defensive in everything they did. Google was the tech darling and Yahoo had fallen into the worst place in the industry: Yesterdays News. Even when they got a get out of jail free card in the form of a massive Microsoft takeover offer they blew it. Jerry Yang managed to convince everyone they had a future. With the recent news of a massive layoff and reorganization, all is but lost. Jerry Yang will be a case study in graduate school, and it will not be flattering. It will be along the lines on increasing shareholder value. But then Mr. Yang is an engineer not a finance guy.

Amazon was not a likely candidate to be the early leader in cloud computing. Next thing you know everyone was left standing with their pants of the ground. Some rode the wave very well, companies like VMWare. But across the lake the from Amazon’s Seattle headquarters a Redmond based power was scrambling. Google was also behind in this space. When I look at Cloud based posting these days I see many references for people with experience in Amazon Web Services. I am not sure I have seen one for Azure (Microsoft’s cloud service). VMWare is always in the conversation with its virtualization software, it is always a good place to be, “in the conversation”. Most companies building out cloud services usually have either Amazon or VMWare, if not both, as part of their cloud offering

Finally there was the tablet phenom. When Apple founder Steve Jobs announced Apples plans to make and sell the iPad, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was quoted as saying, “They will never sell those things”. As it turns out they can sell those tablets. In the last quarter they sold over 15 million of these items Steve said they could not sell. In the meantime a slew of Android based tablets have hit the market and as for Microsoft, we wait for Windows 8. Why do I feel like this will be the Windows Phone all over again? When the new tablets hit the market will it be revolutionary or just another Tablet? The market is already 3 years down the road and the company that changed people’s lives sitting on the couch and watching TV was Apple. That is what technology has always been about, changing people’s lives.

In all the examples I have given one thing is clear. To create these industry and societal changes it takes a leader who see’s beyond today and looks to tomorrow. When we look at what I provided in each case we have visionaries that we all know Gates, Jobs, Bezos, Maritz, to name but a few. In the also ran category you see companies always flat-footed and never embracing the future, but reacting to a race that has already began. If you are racing Usain Bolt and you are slow off the starting blocks do you think you will win? Even if you were that fast and physically fit you cannot make up a half a second in a sprint. That is how today’s tech sector works. Even if you were to catch up the industry has moved on to a new race. To win you need to jump the gun otherwise you will be but a distant reflection in the rear view mirror.

Google – threats and opportunities for the Future

Published on March 20, 2012March 20, 2012 by hansh511 Comment

I was having coffee with a contract recruiter for Microsoft recently and he mentioned he had just been in New York meeting with some of the Microsoft Advertising folks. He mentioned they were kind of down as when they went looking for business (I can only assume for Bing), things were not going so well. As it turns out the ad agencies only wanted to talk with one company: Facebook. It makes total sense. If I were wanting to place ads I would much prefer Facebook to search providers such as Google or Microsoft. The reason being simple, unlike a search engine where I do my search and click my link. In Facebook I log on and stay. And judging by some of my friends they are on Facebook a whole lot. This is a big threat to both Google and Microsoft, but primarily Google. Microsoft has a lot of other business groups that generate revenue (Windows, Office, Server and Tools etc..), and Bing frankly has been a cost sink hole. However for Google the avenues are not as plentiful. Facebook poses a challenge to the future of the company, that is well worth getting excited about.

There is no doubt the traditional Google business is under threat. The very business landscape that Google pioneered is shifting as companies look to spend their ad dollars in places where the perceived monetary return is greater than ad words. Facebook will be a big test to that business, as will Twitter. Don’t get me wrong Google has been nothing short of amazing. It’s end of year statement in December showed a company with over $37 billion in revenue. This from a company that was incorporated in 1998. When I started at Microsoft it was already 16 years old and talking of its business units in terms of its first billion. The fear for Google, from the start has been, is Google a one trick pony? Can it take sits enormous revenues and invest those in other web-based services to generate new streams of revenue. There is some hope on the horizon in this area.

The good news for Google lies in the success of its mobile platform, namely Android and the mobile search business. In our increasingly on the go and mobile society the opportunity for new revenue streams in the mobile search business is immense. If you go by one Gartner report mobile search revenue will grow worldwide to over $20 billion by 2015. Based on last years earnings Google already generates $2.5 billion in mobile ad revenue. Google has been very successful in getting mobile handset providers to adopt their Android platform as the mobile OS. Premier providers like HTC and Samsung have been major advocates of Android both for the smartphone, and in the case of Samsung its tablet offering. If there is one note of fear, it is the amount of mobile ad revenue generated from Apple’s iOS platform. Apple and Google are direct competitors in the handset space, so how long Apple chooses to ship Google’s search as a part of its standard offering of apps with both the phone and tablet is open to debate. I am sure Microsoft just waits in the wings waiting to provide Bing as the default search offering for the iPhone.

The other bets will be the continued growth of Chrome as a browser and internet platform. Chrome continues to increase market share ( Use Chrome as my default browser). This is significant as the browser war is the battle fr the internet OS. Today we have four to five players: Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera. In my view it will come down to three as we are already seeing Mozilla people leave the Firefox camp and Opera is still very small in market share. The other three combined have close to $200 billion in the bank, so I feel safe in choosing them to fight the last battle. This is an area where I feel Google is well positioned as they don’t have a PC OS. Apple has its MacOS and Microsoft Windows. It can be a big advantage to not have a legacy mindset in the industry. Hardware manufacturers have introduced a “PC” without Microsoft Windows. A Chrome Netbook was released. The reviews were mixed as it is a bit different to have a Netbook with no hard drive. Thus your experience is dependent upon connectivity. It is too soon for this device, but if you envision a world where we have ubiquitous connectivity you can see the writing on the wall.

As you see, primarily, Apple has taken the lion share of the tablet market place a new thing is happening. The Windows growth rate over in Redmond is slowing and in some quarters shrinking. The big concern here is not just Windows, but down the road Microsoft Office. Luckily for Google they have been investing in the desktop productivity space with Google Docs. It is not a bad bet on their part as when you are competing against a product with 90 percent market share the only way is up. Given the large cash hoard that Google has they can commit to this space for the long-term and with the rise of tablets and, if we believe, the disk less netbook then the outlook for Google Docs long-term is fairly bright (I wrote about Google Docs in a previous post). They can charge far less than Microsoft and still make billions. It will not be an easy task however we can see the paradigms for the future of how we consume technology changing. One thing for certain in the information age is nothing is forever.

This is the new paradigm we have entered into as the web seems to build up companies overnight into social phenomena’s. Especially with web-based services like a Google, Facebook, Twitter or Groupon where nothing is manufactured. There is no physical output. No handheld device. No PC. Just a bunch of services out in cyber space. The fact that Google has become a $37 billion business in a little over 13 years is truly amazing. Facebook pre-IPO already is generating $3.7 billion in revenue. The internet is creating a velocity of business we have not seen before. The ability to communicate and spread the word of whatever is new and cool is what makes the technology space the most exciting industry on the planet. For a company like Google to continue its path of success it will constantly have to adjust and seek new business opportunities. As long as you have smart people envisioning the future, you can determine your own destiny. Ball is in your court Google.

Apple, Apple, Apple…

Published on January 30, 2012 by hansh512 Comments

Though Steve Jobs has left us and leaves a tremendous legacy and hole to fill, he obviously left a great pipeline of products in place for Apple. Earnings for the quarter at Apple blew past every analysts expectations. They just seem to keep coming with quarters that seem beyond belief. As reported on Cnet, during the period, Apple posted $46.33 billion in revenue and a record profit of $13.06 billion. iPhone sales jumped 128 percent year over year to settle at 37.04 million units, while iPad sales rose 111 percent to 15.43 million units. Apple’s Macs got into the mix, too, soaring 26 percent to 5.2 million units sold. Those are huge numbers and daunting for anyone competing against Apple. If we break them down one by one it’s interesting to see the challenges for those competing and what to expect and do next.

Looking at the iPhone sales the number is staggering. They sold 37 million units of primarily the Apple 4s, not 5 but 4s. The 4s was what we used to refer to as a “dot” release, not a major release. Just a release with minor enhancements like Siri. To put in perspective Nokia has announced they have 1 million Nokia Lumia 710 in the channel. That is not in consumer hands but just to resellers. Apples number reflects units in people’s hands. The other thing is due to Apple’s channel that is pure money back to Apple. With Nokia they get most and pay back a small percentage to Microsoft for the OS. Then there is Google with Android, which is an indirect model as the hand set manufacturers keep the money and Google looks to make money via apps and mobile search. The units of Android phone is impressive but to date it doe snot have the bottom line impact of Apple’s iPhone. That could change as the mobile web grows and mobile ads increase the revenue to Google’s bottom line. Though Microsoft Bing is challenging traditional search, Google seems light years ahead in mobile search. With a major release from Apple due in 2012 with the iPhone5 could they beat 37 million? One can only wonder.

Tablets are the fashionable device of the moment. They have been since Apple made them so. Steve Ballmer said “they will never sell those things”. They sold over 15 million units in the quarter. Though there are Android tablets I have not seen the excitement for Android Tablets like I do for Apple’s iPad. The iPad seems to be playing its own game, in the short-term that could change with newer revs of Amazons Kindle Fire and further down the road with Windows 8 tablets. The challenge for the competition is they may be talking about exciting new releases but no one I know of is putting their purchase decision on hold to wait for an Android or Windows 8 tablet. I expect for the next 2-3 quarters that Apple to rule this domain, unchallenged. The question will be how far in front they will be when a competitive alternative enters the market. We will likely see a iPad3 this year, probably before Windows 8 Tablets hit the market, no one is waiting.

An interesting area of growth for Apple is its “old” business of Macs. They sold 5.2 million units in the quarter an increase of 26%. That is at the expense of Microsoft Windows. Apple with around 10% market share is in an enviable position as they are not the leader and can only grow their market share. As Microsoft Windows Revenue has flat lined (it’s still in the billions in terms of revenue) and Apple is enticing more and more developers to its platform you are seeing the first significant threat to the Microsoft crown jewel in over twenty years. It’s interesting that it is coming from a competitor whose environment is considered very closed. I think many people felt the most likely threat to Windows was going to come from the Open Source community in some variant of Linux. But with Apple’s success in Smartphones and Tablets I can see the traditional Mac business was going to follow and it has.

With all this success it has led to that great American problem. What do you do with $98 billion sitting in the bank? When I was ta Microsoft we had (and they still do) usually upwards of $30-$40 billion in cash. It would seem with Apples cash they could do almost anything they want, but in actuality it is a bit of a capitalist’s dilemma. The obvious thing to do is return money to shareholders in either a quarterly dividend or one time payment. They could also do a stock buy back, with a market cap over $400 billion this could further drive the stock up benefiting shareholders. They could do acquisitions, but Apple has never done the big multi-billion dollar purchases of tech companies. I am not a big fan of these anyway as in the short run they slow progress down and when complete the industry has moved on. It takes a couple of years for full integration, look at Microsoft’s acquisition of Skype for $8 billion and we have yet to see the fruits of this hit the bottom line. It’s not a bad problem to have but the one thing that is for sure is they will have to do something as sitting in all that money does not seem a viable option, nor will shareholders allow for it.

Apple is truly in a state of grace. It seems even when they do wrong, as in the previous quarter, they rebound. It would be easy to see a future where we all are using Apple products, luckily tech and society do not work that way. There will come a time when younger generations will not think Apple s cool as their parents think it is. We are in a time when tech trends start with the teenagers and young adults. Do I see a time when younger generations say “wow Microsoft or Dell is cool”. Right now I am having a hard time believing that scenario will ever happen. More likely it will be a young fresh start-up similar to a Facebook or Twitter. When will this happen? All I can say for sure is the next 2-3 years it is not likely to happen and the Apple strength will continue. There are exciting horizons with iCloud and AppleTV. But as I am fond of quoting Bill Baker, “The future comes slowly, change happens quickly”. This will be the case with Apple as well but in the meantime let us just enjoy being, “Wowed!”.

Good Night and Good Luck

CES 2012

Published on January 13, 2012 by hansh51Leave a comment

Well this has been the week of the big Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in the glamorous city of Las Vegas. It is a show, sad to say, I have never been to but would love to go someday. Still with today’s interactive technologies it is pretty easy to follow from far away. The great thing about CES is that it gives consumers a window n how they might spend their money in the upcoming year. Or not. Last year was a big year for 3-D TV’s, but I don’t think consumers were ready to give up their new LCD or Plasma screens just yet to experience 3-D at home. This year promises a whole host of new gadgets and who knows what will be the biggest. But it is always fun to hear what the big industry players are planning. Even more exciting can be the young start-ups.

This year, as always, CES started with the keynote from Steve Ballmer, the loud and proud CEO of Microsoft. Of course the big news had already broke, this would be Microsoft’s last CES. This was the last chance to see Steve. It was a draw and then Steve went on to present, uh, well, nothing really at all. Most of which he talked about had already been announced in previous talks about Windows 8 and Windows Phone. The biggest announcement was really that Nokia was coming back to America with the Lumia 900. It is sad to see Microsoft leave the event. I am not thrilled that they have chosen to do big releases via internal style events and over the web. My preference is in person events but I may be a bit old school in that thinking. The problem I have with over the web is it usually means at a desk at work where there are many distractions. Such as Bob’s vacation or Steve i snot happy at work or..well you get the picture. You may see higher numbers but how many people are really engaged in what they are hearing and seeing? In any case we bid Microsoft a fond farewell.

Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt participated in a “pseudo” panel. Not sure what kind of panel this was intended to be as it sounded like a group of Google partners just nodding their heads to everything Eric said. But there were some valid discussion points, mainly the idea of ubiquity between connected devices. Just think of it this way..walk around your home and see how many devices, appliances etc have digital displays. You would find dishwashers, washer and dryer, clocks, stereo’s, etc..They should all be talking to one another and to the cloud. And according to Eric they should be built on a foundations of, drum roll please…Android. To be clear this idea is nothing new. Microsoft had this idea of Microsoft @Home over ten years ago. Novell had its embedded systems technology(NEST). But like so many things in technology it is not predicting the future, it is timing the future. As Eric points out with mobility and wireless pretty much everywhere making this “connected” home is much closer to reality. Google is taking the lead. Lets see how soon others begin to follow.

The term Gorilla Glass was new to me but it made a splash as Sony showed a Viao made out of Gorilla Glass v2. First question o I want a laptop made of glass? It will be a little bit heavier, but the environmentalist in me asks the second question: Is it recyclable? IN any case they did show hat this glass could withstand 120 pounds of pressure making it fairly durable. Given how often I drop things this is a good thing. From a pure aesthetics standpoint it would seem you would be able to do some pretty fancy stuff with color. I think more than anything this highlights advances being made in the materials that make up our technology toys. A good thing and though not “sexy” now it will be in the future.

When we look at the best in show winners there, as usual is some interesting stuff. Kudos to Nokia for coming through with the best smartphone of the show the Nokia Lumia 900. The Asus Memo 370T Tablet running Android and priced for $250. It has 16bg storage, oh how far we have come. The features are nice and with those low price points it makes total sense. I found the best software app, Bluestack interesting. It brings all 400,000 Android apps to Windows 8. It used to be the other way around, with competing platforms looking to run Windows Apps. Remember Apple had dual OS capabilities. If you want to be a real old-timer who remembers IBM OS/2 v2.0 with the Windows Subsystem? To be fair these type of subsystems traditionally ran slow and were painful. I would hope that Bluestack brings something new to the table and is…fast. Which it should be ok at since Android Apps for phones and Tablets are not like running Microsoft Office. Size matters. One thing to note Bluestack is not yet in beta. Murmur.

My summary of what I have read and followed about CES is there was a lot of focus on Tablets. A lot of new and upcoming releases tied to Windows 8 and Android. The one thing I am interested to see when Windows 8 Tablets roll out is cost. It seems like Apple has staked out the high ground and Android the low ground, and both have lots of applications. Is the middle ground a viable place to be? On the TV front I think we are waiting for the next big revolution. Google did some talk about interactive television, however we are not there yet. Apple has been strangely silent of lat in this topic. But I expect them to bet big on Television. I do expect in the next 2-3 years for this to be a huge focus of CES. The interesting question and one of great anticipation is who will lead. Overall though this was not a great year at CES as there was no break through announcements. No technology that came out and said this is what will be big in 2012, right or wrong (think 3-D TV). Looking at the products it was more claims of, “This will be a big improvement on what currently exists”. Take your pick, Tablets, Smartphones, mobile gaming etc…Next year will be bigger with Windows 8, though I don’t hear of anything ground breaking coming from Redmond…yet. But what we want from CES is not an upgrade but something that changes how we experience life.

Good Night and Good Luck

Amazon Kindle Fire

Published on October 3, 2011 by hansh513 Comments

Well the news broke today that Amazon was releasing its own Tablet based on Android, called the Kindle Fire. The most compelling thing about this product, initially, is the price point of $199. It’s an interesting time in the technology space as we have this new category of device that is still being understood. The debates are numerous. Is the category a tablet? Should it be a laptop? How does this effect market share…in what?? But with Amazon entering the game it does change the dynamics a bit as they are not a traditional device manufacturer but grew up as an online book store. Which in addition to being unique provides them with some distinct advantages and ability to provide differentiated offerings.

The Kindle Fire is an extension of the Kindle, which was the original “successful” ereader. It’s a case of a fish swimming upstream looking for bigger and more profitable markets. In the case of Amazon the Kindle Fire gives them a chance to sell existing services to new customers. To go beyond just being a device where I read my ebooks, but can do more. Amazon has a lot of relationships with content providers and will be able to utilize the Kindle Fire to drive additional services revenue. It adds excitement to the tablet space where to date only Apple has been able to generate excitement (OK a lot of excitement). I commend Amazon as they have made the Kindle software available beyond their own device realizing they need to provide their services beyond their own ecosystem.

A key area I think where Amazon can make inroads is bringing cloud computing to the masses. A few weeks ago at the Microsoft Build conference which was about Windows 8, they demonstrated a lot of features that tied into the Microsoft Cloud Services, the problem is it is a year away. The Amazon cloud services will be here by the holidays this year, building and adding to the success of Amazons Web Services, which is already a billion dollar a year business. Today cloud computing is a “buzz” word that is rapidly gaining traction but has yet to reach the mainstream. Sure there are what we term cloud based services such as DropBox, various emails services, The Microsoft Live brands offer a variety of services such as SkyDrive. But in my view and I think where Amazon has a shot to get it right is people want the vision and security of what the cloud offers but they want it to be a seamless experience that they just do and do not have to think about or worry about. The Cloud will become real when it is in afterthought. By bundling these services into the Kindle Fire, Amazon has a chance to hit a real home run in the market place. There will be other like the Sky drive and iCLoud but the first to get it right will have a clear advantage in the market.

Release cycles are very compelling and necessary in the Tablet space – Apple has been able to maintain and sustain momentum by releasing new Tablets annually. They generate excitement leading up to the release and then deliver. Having consistent release cycles is important, gone are the days of 3 year release cycles. The market is far too impatient for such lengthy waits. Apple. Amazon’s main competitor is pretty good at these release cycles and really has mastered generating PR excitement around the release of their Tablets (not to mention “i” everything). Microsoft, the other perspective player in the tablet space, may have more of a challenge on release cycles as their tablet is pinned to the traditional Windows OS. For a refresher Windows has traditionally been on 3 year life cycles. It will be interesting to see if they can foster a consistent stream of yearly innovation. As technology innovation increase in velocity it will be important for players to keep up lest the fall behind, far behind.

Pricing for the Kindle Fire is set to be $199. This may be the most important development in the Tablet wars yet as Amazon is clearly set on losing money to garner additional services revenue. It’s the HP printer model but in the cloud. Apple has panache but it is relatively expensive and is almost more of a status symbol. At the low price Amazon is offering they have a real opportunity to drive market share and a lot of retail traffic to….Amazon (remember the business they started as back in the dotcom days). I would assume Wal-Mart may be following these developments very carefully. If the Fire is as slick as advertised then this low price point could be a big game changer and further enhance Amazon’s image as a consumer company.

Amazon constantly amazes me as it seems to re invent itself on a constant and consistent basis. Starting off as an online retailer to driving a lot of innovation in cloud based services to making the ereader successful (they were not the first, many had tried). The initial buzz seems to indicate the Kindle Fire should have great success as it will be available for the holidays and could gain a significant piece of market share (depending on how we define market share). The industry needs a strong competitor to Apple, if anything to further innovation in the industry. Amazons unique position to deliver cloud services and content services put’s it into a strong position to be that alternative to Apple. We are still waiting to not just hear, but see another alternative from Microsoft, but I am continually perplexed by my former employers behavior. They seem to live on their legacy not the future (which is kind of what technology is about). It sounds like we are a year away from the Windows 8 tablet, which means the market could have moved somewhere else by then. We are probably waiting for someone else to enter the fray – the market opportunity is just too big for that not to happen. based on what we are seeing wherever the market goes in the next few years Amazon will be there with presence and power.

Good Night and Good Luck
