Software review: Clarizen

September 24, 2008

Clarizen is an online, ‘software as a service’ project management tool that has integration with other desktop applications.  It’s aimed at small and medium sized companies that can’t justify the investment in all-singing-all-dancing project management software, which costs a lot to implement in hardware, licences and training.  Clarizen has no hosting costs.  Licences start at [...]

Who is the city?

September 12, 2008

I’m running late. Not very – in fact, I’ll probably arrive just about on time. But the person I’m meeting has already sent me a text to say she’s there. I dash through the revolving doors and up the stairs. As she said, she’s sitting at the first table.
