SaaS vendor quits browser to boost sales

Noted: I'll stay posted to hear about your views on the smart client architecture.

Sorry - I was not intending to hide my bias. I currently work for a SaaS company, and I've also worked for and with other SaaS companies in the past. I've seen a lot of different implementations, so I've seen some of the right ways and wrong ways to do it. That's my background. Nothing special.

I'm new to your blog, but my first impression was that it felt like a blogvertisement - and that's just not a fact, it's just my honest opinion. It seemed more about pushing people to check out the video of their interface (a sales step) than describing the mechanics... or more importantly (per the title of the blog), how "quitting the browser" boosted their sales.

Disclosing your bias upfront, while an ethical part of writing (and appreciated), doesn't change the way the actual content of the article.

If you do respond, I'm still very interested (honestly - not sarcastically) to hear details about the direct relationship between quitting the browser and the boost in sales.; Posted by: jhilgeman Posted on: 07/20/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
