Going Paperless On A Small Scale

Going Paperless On A Small Scale

By Sandy Kemsley on January 14, 2013

Earlier this week, I linked to the Paperless 2013 website, a vendor-sponsored initiative that encourages businesses to cut paper, ostensibly for environmental reasons. The products featured by the sponsor vendors – Google Drive, HelloFax, Manilla, HelloSign, Expensify, Xero and Fujitsu ScanSnap – can certainly assist with this, although I run a completely paperless office using […]

Pervasive and Data as a Service

By Denis Pombriant on May 4, 2011

Admit it, you never think about data storage any more.  We used to, quite a bit.  Long before the storage glut that exists today, there was already too much of it and it was hard to find places to store it.  When we built software it was with an eye toward maximizing our limited storage […]

Salesforce Radian6 Deal Analysis

Salesforce Radian6 Deal Analysis

By Denis Pombriant on April 4, 2011

Salesforce had a busy last week first buying Radian6 for a king’s ransom ($326 large) and then announcing a partnership with Intuit to resell its CRM pre-integrated with QuickBooks.  As I write this there is at least one more interesting announcement in the wings but I am under NDA and not sure when that announcement […]

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

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 […]
