Amy Wohl has been writing about the industry since she arrived at DataPro in 1974 via paper newsletters, electronic newsletters, and blogs. (She was an early blogger, assisted into the blogosphere by some of her blogging friends, who noticed her lurking on their blogs and took a few hours to help her create her own blog and figure out how to do posting --- before the niceties of elegant WYSIWYG editors and no need to know HTML).

From time to time we have something to say which is too long to fit into the blog format. In that case we will put links into the blogs to direct you to the publication. We may also mail it to our mailing list, which we invite you to join (just add your information to the form at the left side of this page).
Is a blog about many parts of the computer industry, but particularly about business software and the business of software – strategies, the competition, business models, and changes in the marketplace brought about by new technology, new entrants, and new products.
It’s generally about anything I feel passionate about.
Is a blog about Software as a Service (SaaS) and Cloud Computing. Wohl has been covering software from the Cloud since the beginning of the ASP market in the late nineties. She wrote a blog on the SaaS market for IBM’s PartnerWorld site in 2005 and this blog is a continuation of that effort.
The blog covers the business of SaaS, from what is required for success to who is doing something interesting in new or newly tweaked software. Wohl talks to numerous SaaS providers every week – the hard part is picking which ones to write about. She particularly likes to write about trends and concepts.
Is a hobby blog about cooking, eating, and what to do with a library of 5,000+ cookbooks – especially when many of your dinners are nowadays for one. Sign Up for Mailings
We no longer send out a newsletter, paper or electronic, but we still maintain a mailing list (Email) so that we can let you know about what we’re up to, regardless of whether you read our blogs. Sign up and we’ll send you a note a few times a year about special reports, books, or other events we think may be of interest to you. We also use it to send out articles which are too long to fit into the blog format.
Coming Soon:
Two long (free) articles on Cloud Computing – one on IBM’s cloud computing portfolio and one on the Cloud Computing marketplace. They’ll appear on the web site and via our mailing list, with links from the blogs. Expect them in July/August.
A revision of Succeeding at SaaS: Computing in the Cloud. We’re adding a scenario on IBM, a few new scenarios on Cloud Computing customers, a much longer section on Cloud Computing, a special table of contents for the scenarios, and updates to anything that’s changed (it is the information systems industry). Coming this summer.
We’re putting a selection of our old newsletter articles on line in a searchable archive. Your opinion counts here. Send a note to
