Enterprise software is a vast, rich and intriguing environment. That same environment can be complex and hard to penetrate when you are on the outside looking in. With enterprise software, it’s good to have a list of trusted industry leaders and sources to use as a reference for news, industry trends and insight. The issue then becomes, “where do I find those trusted industry leaders and sources?” The answer? Twitter, of course.
Dennis B. Moore, an enterprise software veteran and SVP and GM of Master Data Management at Informatica, has created a core list of leaders and sources that he knows personally and the Twitter hashtag #EnSW for them to connect.
Of those listed as leaders in the enterprise software industry is Louis Columbus of Cincom Systems. Louis exhibits the following three characteristics that landed him on Moore’s list:
- Substantial experience in some aspect of enterprise software
- A demonstrated capability to write prolifically
- Fair and balanced analysis and reporting
This according to Michael Krigsman, author of “Trusted Enterprise Software Experts: The #EnSW Twitter list.” Krigsman’s article shares the list of top leaders by Twitter name in the following categories:
- Smart, Interesting, Relevant
- Vendor Folks Worth Following
- Smart Writers/Analysts
- Smart News Commentators
