While pundits may disagree on whether SaaS is cloud computing, its primary feature is application provided as a service to customers via the internet. Because applications are hosted, this eliminates the need for installation and running of applications on clients’ computers, or even servers, as well as maintenance and support. Moreover, SaaS reduces the need to purchase and maintain hardware. </p> <p>But before getting into the much-praised or marketed trend, it is worth considering first why SaaS is such a hot commodity nowadays. According to experts, security, maintenance, and cost are among the top reasons why SaaS is being embraced by enterprises. </p> <p>Moreover, due to the challenges that face companies regarding outsourcing, such as communication gaps and security, SaaS either supplements the need of businesses to outsource parts of their IT requirements. This is especially helpful for small and medium-size businesses that do not have large IT departments, or those that can only afford to pay general IT workers instead of specialists. Because staffing has become problematic due to reduced budgets that affect tech spending, SaaS offers a way to meet their technology requirements without spending more on overhead. </p> <p>Whereas the application service provider (ASP) business did not make as much mark as it should have in providing enterprise computing, SaaS is being touted as the trend that will replace and even overcome ASP. Scaling was ASP’s main challenge, which required “separate execution environment” or different server environments for hosting different applications. SaaS replaces multiple resources to run applications with shared computing resources, such as the same software version that runs on the same platform. This proves cheaper for end-clients. </p> <p>SaaS providers offer flexible contracts that have targeted costs for specific services. Many tech projects run for only a few months, so services that provide exactly what businesses need in terms of scope and time, with corresponding costs, are advantages that SaaS vendors are only too happy to explore. </p> <p>SaaS provide specialized software that increasingly meet clients’ needs. As vendors gain more knowledge about what businesses want, these insights are incorporated into version upgrades, which means better software and, just as important, more responsive service. </p> <p>It is common knowledge in any industry that freeing up the need to manage back-office processes, including technology services, allows companies to concentrate on bigger, more important business areas. Perhaps at the IT level itself, this is also true. Freeing up the upkeep of some technology processes allows IT departments to focus on the services that they can provide in-house. In effect, SaaS vendors upgrade the quality of both hosted applications and, indirectly, the quality of services of in-house IT departments. </p> <p><strong>Next part: Why businesses should be cautious about SaaS.<br /> Read the full article at: <a href="http://www.executivebrief.com/blogs/the-pros-and-cons-of-saas-part-2">The Pros and Cons of SaaS - Part 2</a></strong></p> <p>Source: <a href="http://www.executivebrief.com." rel="nofollow">http://www.executivebrief.com.</a> </p> (read more) http://www.bosstalks.com/topic/88#post-198 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:54:10 +0000 white 198@http://www.bosstalks.com/ <p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>My name is <a href="http://live.prokhorenko.us">Olexandr Prokhorenko</a>. As you might already know, I was the one of two guys who started the <a href="http://www.bosstalks.com">BossTalks.com</a> in the beginning of March 2007. </p> <p>Today I'd like to share my next big thing with you. So, please, let me introduce <a href="http://www.atomkeep.com">Atomkeep</a> - the service that solves the problem of information redundancy. </p> <p>So what actually Atomkeep is? We're the first service that created to really share the people profiles. Either you're a social networker, or a job seeker or a professional - all of you are having the same problem of data redundancy. There are too many social networks around, too many job boards, directories and sites that want you to keep your profile there. </p> <p>Being an active member of any community requires you to keep your profile up to date all the time. Nobody likes "dead heads". Once your Internet exposure is starting to grow, you're starting to spend much more time on keeping the things in sync. But we can take save your time. Don't waste your time on routine clicks, but have fun. This is what Atomkeep for. </p> <p>Let me give you another example. Have you ever faced a choice if you should sign to one more (maybe, more interesting or narrow) job site, but was pissed off and decided not to do this when you saw how big is the resume profile in it? I bet you did. But we can help you here as well. This is a typical situation when Atomkeep becomes a priceless service to use (and stays free!).</p> <p>Or might be you are a business owner and have listed your business contacts at the tens (or even hundreds) of different boards and directories, but it's time to move on and your contact are changing? Most of the time changes are good if everyone knows the new contacts. However, can you imagine the crowd of potential clients who got lost and choose your competitor over you just because they got the wrong phone number? Atomkeep is a good service to use now.</p> <p>This is our first day of public release. Our team has been working on it for a while and now we are ready for a launch. So go ahead, take a quick look, register there, it's <strong>absolutely free</strong> and takes only a minute, and give us your feedback. </p> <p>Atomkeep is built for users. Users are the most important elements in the Atomkeep design and we're committed to complete user satisfaction. Let us know, either you like something or not. Any opinion counts and valuable for us. </p> <p>So, thank you and welcome to Atomkeep!</p> <p>Sincerely yours,<br /> <a href="http://live.prokhorenko.us">Olexandr Prokhorenko</a>,<br /> Founder of <a href="http://www.atomkeep.com">Atomkeep</a>. </p> (read more) http://www.bosstalks.com/topic/24#post-197 Fri, 16 May 2008 16:58:25 +0000 white 197@http://www.bosstalks.com/ <p>I am a 100% agree.

I love the ability to work my hours and do things on my time. However, it can sometimes be very isolating. I think I do miss the buzz of the office world and the people contact</p> <p>However on the hother hand, I dont miss the office politics and the every day work commute. I think the ideal situation may be to work from home 3 day s a week and 2 days in an office setting. </p> (read more) http://www.bosstalks.com/topic/68#post-195 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 09:19:58 +0000 green 195@http://www.bosstalks.com/ <p>Everybody has different goals. Personally I think MBA as a helpful, but not necessary knowledge. It does cost a lot - and before investing that much you need to calculate your ROI. Sometimes you can better ROI by gaining by specific knowledge - project management, finances, law, etc. - but not the "whole" MBA package. I would say we can think of MBA as some kind of "all-stuff-need-to-know-crash-course", but again - it's all about personal goals and ROI :-) </p> (read more) http://www.bosstalks.com/topic/83#post-194 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 09:17:13 +0000 green 194@http://www.bosstalks.com/ <p>Better manager is nothing without better team.

MBA's rock! The experience of being part of a B-school is what makes an MBA an MBA. Classes at odd hours...tight deadlines...assignments to be submitted on a daily basis...group work (?) and managing free riders?? And not to mention creating those classy ppt's at 4:00 in the morning and sharing a pot of coffee with folks you just don't want to work with. (Forget sharing coffee with) That's management dude!</p> <p>Till I went to a B- school- I never realized what all the glam was about the so called MBA's. When I was there- I thought it was all about learning- googling to be precise and of course learning how to effectively "plagiarize". Each day is hard work- but at the end of it all- I realize that the process of getting the MBA was the "actual learning" in itself as against all the OD, OB, T &#38;D, or Management Concepts...</p> <p>Now does an IT professional need an M.B.A?? Having worked in the IT sector for a few years now- I can certainly tell you this- if you want to climb up the ladder- you gotta have those 3 letters next to your name...If you are in a managerial role- you'll do better with an M.B.A. But if you are a born, natural leader- trust me, you'll still do better with an M.B.A!! </p> (read more) http://www.bosstalks.com/topic/86#post-184 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 12:02:43 +0000 white 184@http://www.bosstalks.com/ <p>Dear members of BossTalks.com,</p> <p>As you know, we are being proactively supportive for fresh hi-tech startups.

Many of them see <em>management</em> position as an ultimate necessary and the only right goal of their career. But why is that? I spent some time thinking about that, but still no nice and reasonable answer. I can see that many developers think that "manager" sounds better and more impressive. Many developers see "manager" to be the guy to act bossy and tell everybody what to do. Somebody who have <em>power</em>. Is it just the human nature to be more powerful comparing to other people? "Status" kind of thing?</p> <p>But in reality to be good manager is an hard job to do. And it's none of what people like to think about it. I am developer, manager and whoever you want to call it. I do not care really much about titles, until I do what I like. And when you manage other people, you have to admit they are the main workforce. Not you. You are the guide, may be the bridge closing some gaps. But those people are the best, because they are important and really meaningful. </p> <p>This is also one of the reasons why startups can be built by developers, not managers. Well, it can be built by manager who has some money to hire developers. ;-) But to launch from the ground, to built from scratch, to make it happen - you need to be hands on. That's why no matter how deep in managing I am digging, I still remain hands on the coding. I do my own code, fix others, review... Learn new things - because it's a never ending process. You always have something to learn.</p> <p>The best management goal is to give developers and opportunity to do their job. Just ask them, show right directions, and keep within it. If they are the best (but you hire best, right?) they'll really accomplish the job perfectly. Well, if they are not -- you'll have a lot of job on mentoring and guiding... imagine you have several "not best" developers, and it'll mean you have to work really hard. But it's not management then, again. ;-)</p> <p>What do you think?

No matter where you clip your skip-free iPod shuffle, you’ll have instant access to music. In silver, pink, green, blue, and orange, iPod shuffle goes with everything.

Can I create/update/view schedule for team members? What are the ways how can I see/control where we are standing at this moment in the project?<br /> Do they have different plans?

It works for both: project management and bug+issue tracking. It’s very simple. To track a bug I create an email to somebody in my team, put wrike’s address into CC field, add a screenshot and some comments. The task on the bug is automatically put into the system and we track it together. The tool is cheap too, cause you get like 3 GB of storage for the same $49 per month. </p> (read more) http://www.bosstalks.com/topic/81#post-176 Wed, 22 Aug 2007 22:27:57 +0000 green 176@http://www.bosstalks.com/ <p>Entertainment and entrepreneurs - closer and closer, capturing attention of reality show lovers... <a href="http://www.nextinternetmillionaire.com/about.php">The Next Internet Millionaire</a> on air!
