e-Up new website is live

Dear,

I have abandoned this blog long time ago and for good.. I am sorry for the amount of readers that regularly checked this blog for some news.
The recent 5 years long financial crisis has impacted everyone and everything and so the publishers I was collaborating for to write my articles. Additionally, the attitude of corporations towards consultancy has changed, also due to the lack of quality of many providers, guilty of overpricing very bad quality services.
But they say during crisis the most innovative ideas take place. I hope this is the same in our case, as we dedicated time to hard work and research and started a company based in Dublin in 2012: e-Up Unified Perspective.
We just launched our new website and the new software at the same time.
e-Tools is the result of advanced research and consultancy, and its aim is supporting the implementation and above all the analysis of all existing Siebel applications that are still out there, despite the slow reduction of implementations due to the competition, above all versus Salesforce.com, as prefered CRM platform.
To be honest the first competitor of Siebel has been been its new owner: Oracle. It's their policy towards the one time first CRM platform in the world, that has actually killed it.
As I will attend next Oracle Open World and the Siebel 2014 IP will be presented, I am really curious about the way Oracle will promote its strategy.
Despite some employees still insist on the fact that Siebel is not dead and that new functionalities will be presented towards next years, the market seems to have less and less interest on this technology, even after the advent of Open UI.
Siebel implementations failed and continue to fail because the lack of best practices and tools that support this. Business analysis, for example, has never been supported or "educated" by Oracle, leaving it to the disorganization of Organizations. or to the trends of too heavy and too generic methodologies.
e-Tools will allow the modelling of visual artefacts for all the phases of a typical Siebel implementation, easing the adoption of best practices.
I refer to Siebel Tools as an old punch cards machine, with its old-fashioned parametrization approach, without mentioning the lack of support for anything else (requirements gathering, modelling, application design, etc.). Have a look at the first video about e-Tools and let me know if you realize the difference with the standard Siebel Tools:

Having worked with Cloud platforms such as Salesforce.com, I cannot be good with new available tools as well. On the contrary, while Siebel was a greatly engineered piece of software, recent trends tend to bring us back, rather than forward. I cannot think any longer about any valid packaged application in the market, simply because the tendency is that of returning to custom development, despite the fact you use an old programming language or a "cool" new one. Some technical solutions for corporations are simply embarrassing; customers have to be lighten from the burden of over-engineered and not useful technologies, but this does not mean solutions have to be technically crap.
If cloud is now so trendy, be sure you will soon find silos also in the sky, not only on your premises...

But I have probably taken too much time and too much space for the initial intention of this post, therefore I end simply simply inviting you to visit our new website www.e-up.pro.
We shall probably introduce a blog section on the website, therefore I might continue posting some articles there... stay tuned!
