Another day at Interop under our belts, and more opportunities to wander through the exhibit floor and talk to quite a few vendors. This Interop conference has been, perhaps not surprisingly, all about the data center, cloud computing, network management and security, desktop and server virtualization, unified communications, and wireless / mobile strategy, with more minor focuses on WANs and WAN optimization, social media, voice and video, backup and storage. This diversity is seen on the exhibit floor as well, and is both Interop’s attraction as well as a challenge.

SMB Research had a conversation with
Vuuch
at the recent Enterprise 2.0 Boston show. While we struggled briefly to know how to characterize this company and solution properly, CEO
Chris Williams
quickly helped out, explaining that Vuuch is an “enterprise social system for product development….sitting between enterprise social software (things like
Jive
and
Yammer
) and PLM [product lifecycle management].”
This really piqued our interest, and so SMB Research visited nearby Sudbury, MA-based Vuuch last week. What did we learn? If you are involved with product development, and find yourself wondering if there is an easier way to manage the email traffic and other project-related team interactions, then Vuuch may be worth a look.
