The Buzz at Planet 2010

Published in Company News on 12 March 2010 by Rod Drury

We had a presence today at Planet 2010 where the Telecom and ICT industries got to show their wares.

I remember a few months ago hearing about Captain Xero, who muscled frame made quite an impression, and caused quite a buzz.

But even better we caught a real Buzz. Buzz Aldrin, a real life astronaut and super hero. (He’s the one on the right.)

Buzz is speaking again tomorrow and is well worth listening to if you get a chance to get along.

I did a session on small business productivity. Nice to see @JulianTSmith up in front to learn about online accounting.

I heard one of the best marketing slogans ever today. A senior and very nice guy at Microsoft said this to me.

We have a cloud in a box solution. Our customers can take a slice of our cloud and install in their enterprise environment.

I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. ”You mean on-premise software. I cannot believe you said that with a straight face.”
