Microsoft's secret weapon against Google Maps -- open source

One of the many areas where Google is far ahead of Microsoft is mapping, with Google Maps by far the dominant map service on the Internet. Microsoft is employing an under-the-radar approach to fighting back, lending big support and big dollars to the open source map project OpenStreetMap. It looks as if the tactic is starting to pay off.

OpenStreetMap is run much like Wikipedia, in which volunteers provide mapping information to build a free, open mapping service. People, sites, and companies can then use that mapping information. The services is overseen by the non-profit OpenStreetMap Foundation. The foundation says that a half a million volunteers have already provided data to OpenStreetMap.

The New York Times reported recently that a variety of companies have started to defect from using Google Maps because of the high fees charged for the service, and instead have turned to getting mapping data for free from OpenStreetMap. The mobile social media service FourSquare has jumped ship, and for iPhoto, the iOS photo management app, Apple has switched from Google to OpenStreetMap.

Behind the scenes, spurring all this on, is Microsoft. Microsoft hired OpenStreetMap founder Steve Coast to work for Bing as Principal Architect for Bing Mobile. Coast works on both Bing and OpenStreetMap. In a blog post announcing Coast's hiring back in November 2010, Microsoft said Coast will "develop better mapping experiences for our customers and partners, and lead efforts to engage with OpenStreetMap and other open source and open data projects."

The Times reports that Coast is working on developing open-source software that will make it simpler for developers to get data from and use OpenStreetMap. And it also reports that Microsoft has been donating "valuable map data" to OpenStreetMap. Bing also uses OpenStreetMap data for its mapping service.

Any OpenStreetMap success eats into Google's mapping dominance and bottom line. Given the tight connections between OpenStreetMap and Bing, it also helps Microsoft. At the moment, Google Maps remains dominant; the Times says that 71 percent of the nearly 92 million people who viewed a map online in February were using Google Maps.

Still as the defections from FourSquare, Apple, and many smaller companies show, OpenStreetMap is starting to have some effect on Google Maps. Microsoft's embrace of open source mapping seems to be starting to work.

Tech job seekers less likely to be asked for social-media passwords

Experts say practice is more common in other industries, warn of privacy concerns

There's been a good amount of talk recently about employers asking for the login information of job applicants. So, should those in the tech world expect the question to be asked the next time they're in an interview?

A handful of experts queried by Network World say techies actually have less to worry about compared to workers in more heavily regulated industries. Financial services and public sector government jobs, for example, may have more of an incentive to peer into a candidate's social media life as part of what some call an alarmingly more popular trend.

"The technology industry seems better than average in striking a balance between the personal and professional lives of workers," says Andrea Matwyshyn, associate professor of legal studies and business ethics at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Technology companies seem more open to supporting individual freedom of speech and expression, she says. There's also, she suspects, a level of comfort technology companies may have toward their employees, encouraging them to be creative, free-thinking individuals. Technology companies are in many cases creating the tools that run these social media sites, she notes.

Nonetheless, there have been increased efforts by employers in some industries to ask for the credentials to social media sites, and employees are finding ways to fight back.

KINDA CREEPY: Five very cool (but kinda creepy) mobile technologies

SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE ENTERPRISE: 11 Promising Enterprise Social Networks
The issue is not new; in fact there have been public examples of employers asking for login information dating back as much as two years, including in Bozeman, Mont., which has since reversed its position. The Associated Press recently reported several examples of organizations asking for login credentials, mostly in the public law enforcement or financial services industries. With the focus on it, there have been moves to ban such behavior, including an effort in Illinois.

RELATED: Facebook warns employers not to ask job applicants for login credentials

Andrew Walls, a security, risk and privacy researcher at Gartner, calls the efforts to acquire login information of workers "a pretty egregious violation of personal privacy." Increased attention on the issue "throws gasoline on the fire in the call for more regulation" against the practice, he says.

Walls agrees that he doesn't expect such a practice would happen as much in the technology industry though. "In the tech world, if you're trying to hire someone, you probably already know a lot about the perspective employee based on public information," he says. "If anyone would know how to find it, it would be tech companies."

Using public information about potential employees is not new, and it's becoming easier for employers to get that information. There are various products on the market, including one from Kenexa named Social Source, that scan the Internet, including social media sites, to collect information about individuals. For example, an employer can create a form and the system will automatically populate certain query fields using social media profiles. For example, the software can scan the Internet and find an applicant's LinkedIn profile to pull out resume information, such as prior work experience.

Also, more employers are following perspective employees or existing workers by asking "friend" members of their company on Facebook, for example, with unrestricted rights to track the person, Matwyshyn says.

Seeking login credentials, though, is a different story, and one that some employers are averse to, says Dyke Debrie, of Kenexa, which provides software and job search tools for employers. "It kind of opens a whole Pandora's box," he says. Businesses are not allowed to use certain information including age, marital status, religious affiliation or sexual orientation to make employment decisions. Having access to a social media profile could reveal such information and Debrie says the businesses he works with don't even want to have access to the information because it can create questions about how it is used.

But some employers do want to glean into the social media lives of workers. The industries it is most common in, Matwyshyn says, are highly regulated ones, such as financial services, government and public positions or in which security clearances may be needed. Another area she's seen increased traction of social media monitoring is in customer-facing jobs and marketing positions. "From an employer's perspective, if they are putting an individual in a client or public-facing position, they way that candidate represents him or herself online could be an indication of the tone, professionalism and demeanor the individual may bring to the professional setting," she says.

Some companies feel they even have an obligation to monitor the social media habits of employees. If a financial broker has relationships with individuals or companies they are trading or advising clients of investing in, that can create a conflict of interest that the financial services firms may not only want to know about, but may be required to report and keep a record of. In response, Matwyshyn says, some financial services firms simply don't allow employees to engage in social media use.

Users that give up their login and password information, Matwyshyn says, are showing the disregard they have for personal privacy. It also demonstrates, Matwyshyn says, a power imbalance between employers and perspective employees. The more access to information job seekers give to their potential employers, they less control they have in crafting the image they want to portray to employers.

Potential employers are fighting back though and finding loopholes. Matwyshyn says, for example, individuals may create multiple social media identities, or restrict what information is shared publicly on the social media profiles. If they give up their username and password though, that control can be lost. Overall, Matwyshyn says employers using social media to track and potentially vet candidates is a concerning practice.

"In the past in real space, we've been able to carve out different identities for different contexts," she says. "In this online realm, when those different identities are all blended together and employers usurp the access to those identities, it can be an alarming trend for individuals."

AMD's new CEO likes basketball and the chip maker's future

Computerworld - WASHINGTON -- Since being hired last August, Rory Read, Advanced Micro Devices CEO, has been reshaping the company.

In November, Read set plans to cut the company's global workforce of 11,100 by 10%. The company would use the savings to fund initiatives in new technologies and emerging markets.

Read is hiring new upper management. Of the semiconductor maker's top eight executives directly under the CEO, Read has hired three to fill technology leadership roles. Two of the new hires have worked at IBM, similar to Read.

Read recently brought 500 of the company's top managers to a forum in Dallas to launch an initiative for changing the corporate culture, which he calls "The AMD Way." A lifelong basketball player, Read played full-court games with about a dozen of his fellow executives at 5 a.m.

The new CEO has also delivered a wake-up call to his chief rival, Intel, by acquiring SeaMicro, which makes highly dense servers designed for large-scale data centers. In January, SeaMicro announced new products based on Intel's chips. One month later, AMD bought SeaMicro for $334 million.

SeaMicro's intellectual property and engineering talent is "nothing but a positive" for AMD, said Nathan Brookwood, principal chip analyst at Insight 64. AMD now has "a nice solution for the ultra-dense server market and Intel doesn't," he said.

Read is bringing a muscular attitude to AMD that may not be so different from what he learned at IBM.

"Step out of the shadows and lead" is the message that Read said he is delivering to AMD employees. "Don't be in a duopoly following some other industry player," he said in an interview.

Late last week, Read was in Washington to meet with government officials, including the federal CIO, to talk about technology, cloud computing and the semiconductor market. Near the end of the workday, he was in a bar that is practically across the street from the White House, explaining his plan for AMD and a little bit about himself.

Read's father was a 38-year employee of IBM, beginning on an assembly line and moving up to the executive ranks. Rory Read, the youngest of four brothers (he also has a younger sister), graduated with a computer science degree from Hartwick College and took a job with IBM, overlapping employment with his father for about five years.

IBM's intramural basketball league "was a big decision point" in his taking the job, Read said.

Read spent 23 years at IBM, moving up management ranks until he left to become president and COO of Lenovo Group, the company that acquired IBM's PC division.

He doesn't imagine his new company in a perpetual second place. Similar to IBM, he wants to focus on execution and innovation.

Read's hiring of technology executives that have IBM experience on their resumes is something Charles King, an analyst at Pund-IT, took note of at AMD's recent analyst meeting.

Comptia A+ Training, Comptia A+ certification

Best comptia A+ Training, Comptia A+ Certification at Certkingdom.com

IBM "has pursued a level of excellence that unfortunately has been lacking at AMD over the last few years," King said. "If we're talking about thoroughbreds, these executives all have the right bloodlines," he said of Read's management choices.

Recent key hires with IBM experience on their resumes include Lisa Su, senior vice president and general manager for AMD's global business unit, who joined AMD in January. Prior to taking that job, she was a senior vice president and general manager at Freescale Semiconductor. Before Freescale, Su worked for 13 years at IBM.

Another IBM veteran is Mark Papermaster, who joined AMD last October. He also worked at Apple and Cisco.

A third top hire is Rajan Naik as senior vice president and chief strategy officer. Naik spent 11 years at consulting firm McKinsey, and before that as a senior engineer at Intel.

Read sees three big trends driving the market: consumerization, cloud and convergence. The later trend, convergence, is about how data and applications will flow across all devices, which "will break down this idea that there is only a single operating system, or a single solution," he said.

Consumerization will deliver "the next billion or two billion customers coming from emerging markets," Read said. "They're going to buy at entry and mainstream price points, where we play very strong," he said.

Cloud computing is changing both the data center and the client. Users want clients that can work with low bandwidth and still deliver a great experience, Read said. That involves building chips that combine the CPU and GPU technology, or what is called an Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), which includes AMD's Brazos, low-powered chip. AMD has sold about 30 million of those chips.

"It's the most successful platform we've ever had," Read said.

The SeaMicro acquisition gives AMD access to a relatively new approach to server design that uses lower-power chips in a dense design on small motherboards and that's optimized for specific workloads, such as multimedia and search. The company, founded in 2007, received a $9.3 million grant in 2009 from the U.S. Department of Energy to help in its development of low-power systems.

Read believes demand for SeaMicro's technology will grow with the cloud, and its design will be able to support any number of compute core types made by AMD and others, such as ARM. Read is careful to point out that he's not saying ARM will be in the mix.

Less than a decade ago, AMD rocked the server market with its release of the Opteron processor. This was the first 64-bit x86 chip, which had been previously limited to 32-bit processors. It forced Intel to respond with its own 64-bit chip.

But AMD also suffered delays in meeting chip release dates, an issue that Read is particularly interested in correcting.

What AMD customers want, Read said, "is a company that they can trust to deliver on its commitments and execute on those commitments every day, day in and day out."

Read said customers see AMD "as a company that is innovative, creative, that can do the next big thing." At "the same time, they want that company to be there every day, to be able to assist them and create the solutions that help them win."

The SeaMicro acquisition caught a lot of people by surprise, King said, and overall Read "has done very well in the short term."

"Out of the block he has done some pretty interesting and thought-provoking things," King said.

Analysts: Microsoft didn't cut Office 365 prices just to be nice

Reasons for the price reduction include competing better against Google and boosting sales among large enterprises, they said

In announcing price reductions for Office 365 this week, Microsoft said its cost of running the cloud suite has fallen and that it wants to "pass on" those savings to customers, but some analysts believe the primary drivers for the move have little to do with goodwill.

Specifically, Microsoft is trying to slow down the momentum of Google Apps in the market, jump-start Office 365 sales among enterprises and reduce potential churn among this first wave of customers, according to the analysts.

TECH ARGUMENT: Microsoft Office 365 vs. Google Apps for Business

Google Apps is gaining more and more acceptance among CIOs of large companies and is finally cracking that market, after being considered for years a cloud email and collaboration suite better suited for small businesses.

This trend represents a risk not only to Office 365, which comes in most editions with cloud-hosted versions of Exchange, SharePoint, Lync and Office, but also to the on-premise deployments of those products.

"The price cuts reflect Microsoft's fear of Google. Google Apps for Business has increasing momentum in the enterprise sector, and Microsoft is doing everything they can to prevent further incursions. In this case, Microsoft is pulling on the pricing lever to combat Google," said Gartner analyst Matthew Cain, via email.

Michael Osterman, president and founder of Osterman Research, sees the price cuts as an attempt by Microsoft to spur sales of Office 365 among enterprise customers, given that most of the suite's sales have come from small companies since its launch about eight months ago.

"A key reason for the price cuts is likely that Microsoft's enterprise adoption numbers are not quite where the company wants them to be," he wrote in a blog post.

How successful the strategy will be isn't clear, because there is "substantial variation" in how demand increases depending on the size of price reductions, according to Osterman.

His firm's research shows, for example, that cloud-based email services that cost US$20 per seat, per month make 16 percent of midsize and large companies "likely or definite adopters." At $15, the number of likely or definite adopters jumps significantly to 27 percent, and at $10, the percentage increases to 49. Dropping the price below $10 per seat, per month increases demand, but more modestly, Osterman said.

"I suspect that Microsoft has done its own research and come to a similar conclusion -- that the just-announced price cuts may be significant enough to create sufficient demand among its potential enterprise customers to meet the company's enterprise adoption targets," Osterman wrote.

Office 365 comes in a variety of editions, all priced differently on a per-user, per-month subscription basis.

Prices for the four plans for midsize businesses and enterprises, called E1, E2, E3 and E4, fell, in that order, from US$10 to $8; from $16 to $14; from $24 to $20; and from $27 to $22.

Office 365 also has a plan for small businesses, called P1, which has a 50-user limit. An email-only option with just Exchange Online, as well as other alternatives, are also available. The P1 plan price remains the same at $6 per user, per month.

By comparison, Google Apps' standard edition, which is limited to 10 users, is free, while its enterprise edition, called Google Apps for Business, costs $50 per user, per year, which amounts to about $4.16 per month, for customers who sign an annual contract. It costs $5 per user, per month if the contract is renewed monthly.

Microsoft also said that plan A2 of the upcoming Office 365 for Education will be free for students, faculty and staff, and that prices for other education plans for staff and faculty have been reduced aggressively.

Here as well Gartner's Cain sees the shadow of Google Apps, which is free for educational institutions.

"Regarding the drop in fees for the education market, Microsoft dropped fees simply because Google does not charge edu customers at all, and consequently Microsoft was increasingly losing share in the crucial edu market. Microsoft's attempts to monetize the edu market were ill-advised from the start, and this was a much-needed correction," Cain said.

The A2 plan includes hosted Exchange, SharePoint, Lync and Office Web Apps. Office 365 for Education will be launched in the summer.

Microsoft's new prices apply only to new customers and to existing customers when their contracts are up for renewal. This means, for example, that a company in the fifth month of a one-year Office 365 deal will pay the old, higher prices for the remaining seven months and renew the contract at the new, lower prices.

Nucleus Research has analyzed return-on-investment (ROI) in some companies that have implemented Office 365 and found that the Microsoft suite has delivered on lowering costs and increasing efficiency, even at the original prices.

"It's not surprising that Microsoft is trying to accelerate adoption of Office 365. The more customers it has on board, the more cost-effective it is for them," said Rebecca Wettemann, a Nucleus Research analyst.

Being able to entice existing customers to stick with Office 365 by lowering prices is important because churn is high in the first six months of a company's deployment of a cloud-hosted suite in general, Wettemann said.

"Churn drops significantly after six months and doesn't start to spike up again until after three years," she said.

"Better for Microsoft to capture those customers at a lower price point than have Google or someone else compete for them. What Microsoft has done with Office 365 is educate the market that unreliable email or expensive support isn't acceptable for email communications, even for small companies," she added.
