Close to Home: Stop treating water as if it’s free
Of course, we all get water bills that keep going up. But look at the details on your invoice, it’s mostly paying for infrastructure, loans and operating costs. There won’t be a fee for the water that’s pumped out of the ground or reservoir. That water right — the ability to pump — is essentially free for your water company and for you. But in a persistent drought, free cannot be the right price for that right.

Viewpoint: No excuse to look away from the history of slavery in America
Evanston, Ill., made the media map on March 22. The city council voted for the Restorative Housing Program, the first from the Evanston Local Reparations Fund. Originally passed in the summer of 2019, the fund works to “address the historical wealth and opportunity gaps that African American/Black residents of Evanston experienced.” Reparations have again entered the national conversation. Some question if this program offers true reparations and others argue the past is past.

Gov. Patrick rallies JP troops
body: Gov. Deval Patrick attempted to rally his Democratic troops—while acknowledging the power of independent voters and the “declining value of [political] party”—at a private house party last week hosted by the local liberal group Jamaica Plain Progressives. Patrick spoke candidly with more than 40 supporters who appeared shellshocked by last month’s victory of Republican Scott Brown in the state’s US Senate race. “A question, first of all.
Ex-mayor’s house to be leveled
body: PONDSIDE—John Collins was one of Boston’s most powerful mayors, overseeing the 1960s “urban renewal” projects that created the Prudential Center and Government Center. Now, the Jamaica Plain house where he lived during his reign—a 1936 Cape-style at 20 Myrtle St.—is slated for urban renewal of its own, with new owners planning to demolish it and build a bigger house.

Building a customer community: 13 critical questions to get started

Customer loyalty means a customer portal. It’s all about building a community site. Depending on where you start, you’ll hear about dozens of product offerings and see some extraordinary demos.
Should Marketing Automation be Combined with CRM?
By David Taber, CIO The footprints of marketing automation and customer relationship management (CRM) systems seem to overlap — systems handle leads, contacts and companies — there’s sufficient vagueness and confusion on these topics (due at least in part to branding antics) to … ahem … cloud the issue. First, let’s be clear about the distinction between sales and marketing roles: you wouldn’t believe how many companies scramble the definitions.
A tale of two user experiences
Everybody knows that installation and setup are the neglected backwaters of software engineering. If you’re thinking to yourself, “but in the cloud, there’s nothing to install, no DLL hell, no traumatic transitions, so no big deal,” you’d be wrong. Even in the cloud, there’s system configuration, data conversion and migration, security settings, compatibility issues, plug-ins, JavaScript incompatibilities, browser versions and add-ons.
Anatomy of a cloud project cost overrun
I recently conducted an informal survey of some cloud integration companies and found something deeply troubling. Aside from “cookie-cutter” or formulaic quick-start projects, more than 70 percent of cloud consulting engagements involving new customers resulted in either a 10 percent cost overrun or a change-order. The bigger the project, the more likely the overrun. You can blame it on stupid consultants or bad estimation or nutty customers or sunspot activity, but blame does no good.

Ross: Mission Hill K-8 should stay
City Councilor Mike Ross said last week that his annual City Council vote on the Boston Public School budget would turn into an automatic “no” if BPS moves forward with plans to move the Mission Hill K-8 school to Jamaica Plain. At a Nov. 5 meeting community meeting at the Tobin School on Smith St., he told BPS officials that moving the school would “drive a stake through the heart of this community…Starting right away with your budget vote, you would have one less vote,” he said.
