Levion and the Promise of Hybrid Accounting Software

Levion and the Promise of Hybrid Accounting Software

By Ben Kepes on September 14, 2012

As the accounting software industry moves to a general acceptance of the fact that customers demand the sort of benefits that cloud application bring, there are two distinct approaches vnedors are making; Pure-play cloud vendors (FreeAgent, Xero etc) build pure Saas applications and do away with any need for desktop

Back to the Future–FreshBooks is Accounting

Back to the Future–FreshBooks is Accounting

By Ben Kepes on August 30, 2012

On my first ever trip to the Bay area, six or so years ago, I attended the, now defunct, Office 2.0 conference. At the event I moderated a panel looking at what Accounting 2.0 actually meant and the value it could drive. The panel was a who’s who of the space and included folks from […]

Xero Nabs Intuit Exec

Xero Nabs Intuit Exec

By Ben Kepes on April 24, 2012

I’ve long wondered how Xero will execute upon its North American opportunity – after all North America is the real goal for the company, and also where they face the biggest hurdles to success. I’ve even been roundly criticized for articulating this question I’ve spent some time with Xero’s US president Jamie Sutherland who seems […]

Exciting times today for the team from MinuteDock (more on them here) the neat little time trapping application from my own hometown, Wellington, New Zealand.

Looking At Platforms

Looking At Platforms

By Ben Kepes on October 26, 2009

Earlier this year at the Enterprise 2.0 conference “platform” was the name of choice. Seemingly every company I spoke to was a platform player. It seems the latest “fart on demand” iPhone application is a “platform for virtual flatulence generation”, that the latest Twitter clone with negligible uptake is “a platform for global collaboration” and […]

Software+Services…. Intuit Bets that Desktop Software Ain’t Dead Yet

Software+Services…. Intuit Bets that Desktop Software Ain’t Dead Yet

By Ben Kepes on October 1, 2009

Considering CloudAve’s core thesis is the move to cloud computing, and given this authors penchant for cloud applications, one would have thought any development in the desktop software space would be dismissed. The truth is somewhat different however. I’m a major user of web apps but I’ve also got installed software on my machines – […]

Finding the Hub – A Common Data Model

Finding the Hub – A Common Data Model

By Ben Kepes on August 27, 2009

A couple of weeks ago I roused myself at 1:30am to moderate a radio show in my ongoing series for VoiceAmerica “Kepes in the Clouds”. This time I had the pleasure of speaking with Sunir Shah, Chief Handshaker from FreshBooks, and Alex Chriss, Business Lead for the Intuit Partner Platform (disclosure – the IPP is […]

Six One Way, Half a Dozen the Other – Traditional Vendors and SaaS

Six One Way, Half a Dozen the Other – Traditional Vendors and SaaS

By Ben Kepes on July 1, 2009

Someone sent me an email the other day alerting me to the fact that Accomplish, a vendor of desktop small business accounting software, has just announced that it’ll be providing a SaaS product. Nothing overly interesting in that, but what was interesting was reading the interview with Accomplish General Manager Grant Hewson and seeing the […]

Boston Here I Come

Boston Here I Come

By Ben Kepes on June 4, 2009

In an attempt to single-handedly support the global aviation industry, I’m once again heading on a plane to travel 30 hours or so across the world to attend a conference. This time I’m stoked to be attending Enterprise 2.0 in Boston in the third week of June. I’m a blog/media partner for the event which […]

Another Radio Show…

By Ben Kepes on May 25, 2009

Actually talking to people makes a nice change from written correspondence. A month or so ago I took part in a really fun live radio show with a bunch of SaaS accounting vendors – following on from that show (and totally due to the good things the participants had to say rather than anything I […]
