Check them out. In the meantime, here are some thoughts from Cliff Condon, the project manager. And of course, feel free to add your own thoughts in the comments.</p>
<p>Christine</p>
<p>Hey everyone. Here it is – Forrester’s new blog network. We made some changes to improve the experience for readers and to encourage more analysts to blog. Feel free to poke around and let me know what you think.</p>
<p>There are a few things I’d like to point out to you:</p>
<p>Everyone’s welcome here. Forrester analysts use blogs as an input into the research they produce, so having an open, ongoing dialogue with the marketplace is critical. Clients and non-clients can participate – so I encourage you to be part of the conversations on Forrester blogs.<br />
We still have team blogs focused on role professionals. Our role blogs, such as the CIO blog and the Interactive Marketing blog, are a rollup of all the posts from the analysts serving that specific role professional. By following a role team blog, you can participate in all the conversational threads affecting a role.<br />
And now we’ve added analyst blogs as well. If you prefer to engage directly with your favorite analyst, you can. Look on the right-hand rail of the team blog and you’ll see a list of the analyst blogs. Just click on their name to go to their blog. Or type their name into “Search”. An analyst blog is a place for the analyst to get reaction to their ideas and connect with others shaping the marketplace. You’ll find the blogs to be personal in tone and approach.<br />
You can monitor analyst tweets. On role team blogs, you will see the recent tweets on the right-hand rail from analysts serving that role. On analyst blogs, the tweets shown are specific to that analyst. </p>

We don't normally draw attention to things like this (changing our underlying platform technology), but in this case, there are some key differences in capabilities, that you need to know about so you can benefit from them. As you already know if you've been following the Application Development & Program Management blog, we have a team of analysts who are already active bloggers. But in the past, it may have been challenging, if you were particularly interested in following the posts of one analyst, to do that in amongst the posts from the rest of the team.</p>
<p>
So I'm thrilled that we now have individual blogs for all the analysts on the team, too. Everything blogged by the team also rolls up into the team-level blog, which is a good place to hang out if you're following several analysts on the team, have more eclectic interests around application development and delivery, or just want to be tuned in to what's going on across the team.</p>
<p>
Another great innovation (for you) of our new platform is that blog pots are now presented with only summary information showing in the initial view. Only after you choose to drill down on a post do you see the whole thing. This makes it easier to look through several posts, whether on an analyst or team blog, and find just the stuff you care about.</p>
<p>
And now for a few words from Cliff Condon, the Forrester exec who leads our social computing initiative of which this new platform is a part, on Forrester blogs and what it means for you:</p>

<p>
Hi,</p>
<p>
I’d like to share a <a href="http://www.silicon.de/mittelstand/0,39038986,41528027,00/wie+spart+man+beim+sap_support.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no'); return false;">recent discussion </a>that I had with Martin Schindler, Editor of Silicon.de</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Martin Schindler: There are experts who talk of a non-existing market when it comes to SAP third party maintenance. Is that correct?</strong></p>
<p>
<strong>Stefan Ried:</strong> You could have the impression, especially for Germany, because companies remain very close to SAP and many have decided for a Single-Vendor-Strategy. But in other countries it is much less the case. However the price politics of SAP in the last year and now the slow innovation speed has raised the discussion of alternative maintenance model again.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Martin Schindler: Are there German users with real interest in obtaining maintenance for their SAP system through another company?</strong></p>
<p>
<strong>Stefan Ried:</strong> Yes, there is definitely interest.</p>
<p>
We regularly make, and particularly in the last year, sample calculations for users (as well as for system integrators) if it is worth going for third-party maintenance. It depends on various factors, whether it is worth it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Martin Schindler: What do these factors look like?</strong></p>

Actually, I should say, welcome to the Forrester community. The revamped blogs are one facet of Forrester's investment in social media as the conduit for two-way conversation with clients and non-clients alike.</p>
<p>
One obvious change: Browsing around, you can easily access an analyst's individual blog, or the role blog, or the client group's blog, or everyone's Forrester blog. As brilliant as I think my own posts are, my colleagues often have much smarter things to say than I do. Please take advantage of the new way to browse through the conversations happening across Forrester. (But come back here when you're done.)</p>
<p>
Now, I <em>really </em>do need a better picture...</p>

<strong>And now we’ve added analyst blogs as well. </strong>If you prefer to engage directly with your favorite analyst, you can. Look on the right-hand rail of the team blog and you’ll see a list of the analyst blogs. Just click on their name to go to their blog. Or type their name into “Search”. An analyst blog is a place for the analyst to get reaction to their ideas and connect with others shaping the marketplace. You’ll find the blogs to be personal in tone and approach. </p>

Hello Marketing Leadership Professionals.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Forrester has relauched its blog platform to allow you to follow individual analysts and streams of research more easily. <a href="http://blogs.forrester.com/cliff_condon/10-03-10-welcome_new_blog_network">Here</a> is what Cliff Condon, our guru of the new platform, has to say about the new platform. Please let me know what content you would like to see from the Marketing Leadership team as we build our individual and group voice on this new and more flexible platform.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Thanks,</p>
<p>
David</p>
