Suddenly popular

June 27th, 2007 · No Comments

Digipede is growing again. While not yet the size of some grid competitors, we’ve hit a very interesting inflection point this year.

June 24th, 2007 · No Comments

I will post another million positive things about the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WWPC) any day now.  Promise.  I love this event.  Honest.  But for now — arrrg.  Microsoft’s use of its own tools is driving me nuts.  Here we go again.  As many of you know, I’m a big fan of large conferences, under […]

Digipede at SIFMA — Wrap-up

June 23rd, 2007 · 3 Comments

After a little extra travel drama (sitting the standard three hours on the runway at JFK), I’m back in Oakland.  SIFMA was interesting, productive, and exhausting, as usual.  Thanks to our friends at HP, our decision not to have our own booth at SIFMA worked out great.  We camped in the front corner of their […]

Innovation!

June 12th, 2007 · No Comments

Well, we must be doing something right; or at least Microsoft seems to think so. Microsoft has named Digipede as one of three finalists for “Innovation Partner of the Year” in the ISV/Software Solutions category.  As the only Microsoft Gold Certified Partner with a grid computing solution built on .NET, Digipede is a natural complement to a […]

Digipede at TechEd (well, kinda)

June 5th, 2007 · No Comments

Microsoft’s huge TechEd conference is in full swing in Orlando this week.  Actually, no one from Digipede is physically at TechEd — but if you’re there, look in your bag!  See that VSIP Partner Resource DVD?  We’re on there!  You now have your own free copy of the Digipede Network Developer Edition — install it, […]
