I have used interprise sutie and its proably the worst choice you can make. the product is super bugggy. Support is the worst in the industry. BEWARE! THIS IS THE BIGEST MISTAKE I HAVE EVER MADE! ASK FOR REFERECES AND CALL SUPPORT.

Interpirssuite is not the choice!

I purchased interprise in early 2008, had serious issues with regards to getting my site launched (the cart did not properly calculate provincial and country taxes) and after 2 weeks of working with the IS support team and the gateway provider, they finally said “yes there is a problem”. In November 08 Interprise gathered 3 of their US guys (a sales engineer, the salesman, and the head of ASPdotnet) and they told me they are going to help fix the problem. It’s now 3+ months later, and not only have nothing been fixed, over the past 3 weeks they will not answer my e-mails. These guys are so dishonest it is sickening. So I’ve invested thousands into the software, thousands into the setup and have lost tens of thousands in sales. Next step, I have to get a lawyer. Unreal.

Your Neighborhood Bank Becomes Your Trusted SaaS Provider

If you’re like me, you haven’t talked to a bank teller for years, in fact haven’t set foot inside a branch for a long time. Why should you? You do all your banking online. (?) But you probably wouldn’t think of your bank as *The* Software a…

Al,

Thanks! The commenting facility this blog platform is not that great, for example even if I click on your name, I can’t contact you, or know who you are .. nor can I see what you posted .. so if you like, would you post the URL of your blog here?

I’m hearing blogware will come out with enhanced commenting solutions in a matter of days … (weeks?). Perhaps that will take care of this nightmare.

Great article (actually both parts)

I agree in particular with the SMB’s being the new Enterprise customers. They can benefit from new enterprise solutions without the large baggage (legacy) that the current encumbrants carry. Also the ondemand/web based offerings make it more cost effective and require a greatdeal less in terms of managment and resourcing.

regards

PS This meeting of minds between web2.0 and the enterprise has been fascinating me for a while, I have recently posted as such.

Zoli, Good write-up and I do think the growth market for both Web 2.0 and enterprise software will be in the medium to small "enterprise." I covered a lot of this in my list of companies doing financially successful Web 2.0 plays, but I would love to see more examples of true Enterprise Web 2.0 (corporate mashups.) Anyway, keep up the great coverage. Best, Dion Hinchcliffe CTO, Sphere of Influence Editor-in-Chief - Web 2.0 Journal ZDNet's Enterprise Web 2.0
