| Google exec says content management systems lacking
A shortage of competition in the enterprise content management field is limiting the type of vendor innovation that makes products more appealing to customers, a Google official contended this week at the AIIM Conference & Expo in Boston. Despite a trend in which business applications are starting to look more like consumer products, enterprise content management vendors do not face the same pressure to keep users happy as do search websites such as Google, said David Bercovich, a product marketing manager with Google's enterprise application unit. .
Montrose Retail Gives Ouray County Shoppers More Choices
The City of Montrose retail market continues its unprecedented expansion as an emerging regional alternative to Grand Junction with the addition of two new anchor "big box" retail stores, J.C. Penney Co. and a Target Corporation store, early this fall. Those retail outlets will have a direct effect on Ouray County residents. "I’m thrilled as an individual; Montrose lacks good options," said Judy Frantz Grieser, executive director of the Ouray Chamber of Commerce. "Especially in generalized merchandise." The addition of these retail giants – Minneapolis-based Target, which opened its first store in 1962, rivals Wal-Mart and operates 1,502 nationwide in 47 states – will be welcomed by those who currently commute two hours to Grand Junction’s Mesa Mall to the closest Penney’s and Target stores.
Five Free Open Source Shopping Carts
One of the most alarming factors for new e-tailers is the cost of some of the commercial e-store software. While you can pay a few extra dollars for shopping cart software when signing up for a hosting account, these plans don't always offer the functionality or design options that fit your needs. This is where Open Source software comes in to play. Open Source Software
Many like-minded programmers create software that costs nothing and can be edited just as freely. The result of this collaboration of professional programmers is software that is often as feature rich as its commercial competitors. Best of all, of course, it's free. Open Source software is nothing new, but it was once considered to be lacking in features and incredibly difficult to install without the help of a trained professional.
Sowing seeds of fulfillment
As a full-time sales rep for national van-line companies for 12 years, Ellen Sullivan understood radical moves. One day she decided to make one herself. Sullivan and her chemist husband, Paul Bernhardy, sold their Orange County, Calif., home in Monarch Beach – they were empty-nesters – and bought a spread in San Diego County's rural Valley Center. That's when they added a new line on their résumés: hobby farmers. No, they don't hoe the back 40 – their farm is only 9 acres – nor do they milk cows or harvest wheat. But they do raise sheep and grow lavender, the sweet-smelling Mediterranean shrub that's been cultivated for more than 2,000 years. They extract the oil, which goes into the dozens of products Sullivan sells online and to customers who flock to the farm each May and June.
