Case Study: Emerging Tech
Astadia, a $30M cloud computing consultancy competed with consulting giant Accenture for Salesforce projects at Vodafone UK, as well as major media clients lke DirecTV and RASCO.
Astadia CMO John Miller hired writer Jon Obermeyer to work with Astadia CTO Mike Lingo to produce the first ever business-focused book about Cloud Computing, to distribute as thought leadership at Dreamforce 2010,
Designed for the CEO and board members, the book made the business case for cloud, thus liberating any company that had the vision to circumvent the CIO "gatekeeper" in an era when Cloud was still unproven and not adopted.
Karimunjawa: Alt. Bali
The Karimunjawa archipelago consists of 27 islands 60 miles offshore from Central Java, a natural preserve. Unlike Bali, you will hardly encounter any Westerners. Most of the islands are uninhabited and you'll mostly run into Indonesians.
Get to Java
I normally fly from LAX (via Seoul or Tokyo) into Jakarta (CGK) to get to the island of Java. Yogyakarta, a city in central Java, is my usually my base of operations. I have friends who live there and the Puri Pangeran Hoiel is run by friends of theirs.
Get to Jepara
We've taken an 7-hour overnight 12-passenger van through Central Java to arrive at the port of Jepara for the 8am high-speed ferry. Or, you can hire a private driver from your hotel for about $40 US, which only takes 3 hours.
Explore and Enjoy
We rented a hillside 2-bedroom villa for $90 a night incl. breakfast. Our host arranged for a half-day excursion to a remote island (incl. lunch and snorkeling) with a local fisherman and his son. Best day of my life.
