Mixed message in the 2010 iPulse Survery conducted by LANSA


The 2010 iPulse Survery conducted by LANSA reminds me of the current economy.  The steep decline has stopped, but has no steam in the engine to rebound.  I am curious what other vendors are doing to address this issue.   Your opinion to the survey is appreciated.  I will publish the results in this blog.  Thanks!

No LANSA is not a Cabinet Pull (Handle)

Allow me to vent.  Over the years I have been mildly irritated by my search results when they directed me to sites like IKEA, REMODELISTA and even LANSA Flight 502 on Wikipedia.

The other evening I decided to turn my irritation around and see what the products have in common.  My Aha moment resulted in Modernization!  Continue to indulge my ramblings:

Background:  Old, yet functional kitchen.  Here is my version of some marketing copy for a site like IKEA:
With the new LANSA pulls you can transform dingy cupboards into something more contemporary and infinitely more livable.  

Background:  Old, yet functional 5250 legacy application.  Potential marketing copy from LANSA: With LANSA you can transform dingy hard to use legacy applications into something more contemporary and infinitely more usable.

I just had to vent!


NO...LANSA is not a Cabinet Pull

Allow me to vent:  Over the years I have been mildly irritated by my search efforts when they directed me to sites like IKEA ,  REMODELISTA and even LANSA Flight 502 on Wikipedia.
The other evening I decided to spend a little time and look at it from a different perspective:  What do they have in common?  The modernization theme jumped out at me!                                        
Background:  Old, yet functional kitchen.  Here is some potential marketing copy from a site like IKEA: With new LANSA pulls you can transform dingy cupboards into something more contemporary and infinitely more livable.   These easy to use products are also reasonably priced.  
Background:  Old, yet functional 5250 legacy application.
Now the same message from LANSA:  With LANSA you can transform dingy hard to use legacy systems into something more contemporary and infinitely more useable.   These easy to use tools from LANSA are also reasonably priced.
