FinancialForce on a Tear

FinancialForce on a Tear

By Ben Kepes on February 21, 2013

When salesforce.com invested in FinancialForce a few years ago, there was keen interest in how this would help the company grow. There’s never been much clarity around those numbers since the parent company of FinancialForce, Unit4, doesn’t break out the individual numbers of operating divisions. That is a bit clearer now since in its last reporting period, […]

TradeGecko–Cloud-Based SMB Inventory Launches

By Ben Kepes on October 12, 2012

I’ve spent  couple of decades dealing with the realities of a small business that sells physical goods.

I was interested then to hear from the founders of TradeGecko, a recently launched SaaS inventory

Intuit Pushing Intacct for QuickBooks Graduates

Intuit Pushing Intacct for QuickBooks Graduates

By Ben Kepes on January 18, 2012

Now this is an interesting piece of scuttlebutt that I was alerted to via a private message. It seems that Intuit have quietly begun pushing QuickBooks users who have “outgrown” their own solutions on to Intacct. This is particularly interesting given the fact that Intuit, a venerable provider with a

Application Integration in the Wild–Can Discrete Apps Work for SRP?

Application Integration in the Wild–Can Discrete Apps Work for SRP?

By Ben Kepes on December 19, 2011

Last week I posted news of Intacct’s new SRP offering that ties together Clarizen, Salesforce and Intacct’s own system.

SaaS Sales – Don’t Discount Traditional Channels

By Ben Kepes on April 21, 2010

We’ve heard for years that SaaS applications will disintermediate traditional marketing channels with it’s direct to consumer and viral uptake – many were envisaging a future without traditional media usage. The truth however seems to be somewhat different – the number of SaaS vendors I’ve spoken to recently who are embarking on “traditional” approaches is […]

By Ben Kepes on February 8, 2010

Recently ReadWriteWeb started a series taking a very high level look at online finance. One of the posts discussed the evolving online finance ecosystem. In the post, RWW editor Richard MacManus interviewed CEO of Xero (see disclosure), Rod Drury and repeated Drury’s assertion that online finance can be separated into four distinct types of markets: […]

What Does “Fully Featured” Really Mean?

By Ben Kepes on February 19, 2009

In my ongoing Accounting 2.0 series (tag here) I’ve been looking at the way SaaS accounting vendors describe their products. A vast number of vendors bandy terms like “fully featured package around”. Often times this is used to describe a product that fulfils a very discrete subset of the accounting function. Recently some comments around […]
