A Sub-Ledger for the Hybrid Enterprise

A Sub-Ledger for the Hybrid Enterprise

By Denis Pombriant on May 7, 2014

Intacct’s CEO Robert Reid On Growing A Successful Cloud Business

By Louis Columbus on March 11, 2013

Selling software to accountants, auditors and Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) takes accuracy, precision and software quality to an entirely new dimension. Having worked at a start-up selling hosted accounting and finance applications to small and medium businesses, I’ve seen first-hand how demanding these professionals can be.  And rightly so, the system of record they manage […]

The Subscription Imperative Revisited

The Subscription Imperative Revisited

By Denis Pombriant on August 26, 2011

As often happens in evolutionary systems, availability precedes demand.  That’s a complicated way to say that we build products then figure out what they’re good for.  It’s not that innovators develop things willy-nilly, but no matter how well thought out an innovation is, the marketplace has the last word on its utility.  When we speak […]

Sage in the Cloud, but is it too little too late?

By David Terrar on January 28, 2011

Last week Sage, the UK’s biggest accountancy software supplier, finally released their first real online accounting solution.  It looks like a proper SaaS or Cloud offering, unlike the hosted Online 50 product sold through a few resellers from 6 years ago, or their previous failed attempt of SageLive in 2009.  I would argue that because […]
