Mass High Tech features CXO Systems

0 comments

Malcolm Frank and his software company, CXO Systems, get a touch of press in this Mass High Tech article - Execs keeping an eye on business via dashboardsDashboards are hot, hot, hot, said Orlov. Just about everyone is starting to implement dashboard projects..

Maybe since CXO is in headquartered Waltham, this article is good local coverage. Or maybe I'm just snobby about print press, still high off of an inspiring conversation with a wonderful chick from the Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx last Thursday night. BuddyGopher in USA Today? Yawn. J/K.

But seriously, CXO should be in Business Week- or at least Fast Company- by this time next year. The no-frills Boston office houses CXO's executives, all packed with experience of industry and passion'd on confidence in product. Development work happens in Sunnyvale and coding labor in Pune. That picture background above, with the scribbled and frantic dry erase marks covering Malcolm's office walls, isn't a set-up (but maybe his tie is!).

I've visited twice in the past six months, and each time Malcolm has had to wipe off some clean space before flash-whiteboarding whatever concept he is crash-course tutoring me on. So much to remember! And how can I possibly do it from Winston-Salem? I floated out of the business park, back into Boston over-whelmed and hyper-inspired.

So, yeah, I'm a raving CXO Systems fan. You should be, too. It's neat to follow small companies as they get bigger. Read the Forrester Research report on dashboards if you haven't already, and remember - great leaders make great companies.
