From Ray Wang’s blog, a snapshot of the enterprise software industry.
This is a business with high barriers to entry. Almost every player on those charts has been around for at least a decade. Yet, it feels as if there’s a big shift waiting for the industry as a whole; a major upheaval that will make the old enterprise software business look old and outdated.
Music to our ears:
“Other partners, like one of my all time SAP favorites, Bridge-X demoed their wares. In the case of Bridge-X it was Sales360 which as they emphasize “moves information, not data.” What that means is that can capture and analyze multiple sources using pointers basically. The pointers show where the data is and allow it to be analyzed and aggregated on a dashboard. They do a great job as they did for Lincoln Electric(demonstrated by John Goetz of Lincoln E.) and other customers.”
That feedback (scroll down below the section titled “CRM 7.0, Messaging and Mobile”), coming from a CRM thought leader, made our entire team very, very happy today.
