Customer Post: SaaS, PMs, CMS, CRMs, ERPs oh my (Part 3)

By Steve Ireland

I recently had a call with Adrian Sanders, co-founder of a Halfslant, a contemporary art consultancy for alternative spaces and events. He put up some great questions, the type that only someone with street smarts and experience working with a lot of software products would know to ask. After the call he circled back and asked “where can I send feedback to warn the others”. I suggested a post on our blog; here it is as it arrived.

February 3, 2009 What is the best way to cook eggs? Over easy? Sunny-side up? Poached? I'm a scrambled type of guy personally.

But who asks that question anyways? More often than not, it's “how do you like your eggs?” Unless of course you're talking with business consultants. Then you might hear suggestions like “your eggs should really be fried, everyone is going fried.” Or “you can get maximum leverage from you eggs by poaching them. That's what the English do.”

For me personally, the better question is “what is the best way to cook scrambled eggs?”

Finding the best Project Management and CRM solution for your business is about knowing your own preferences first. As I said in the last post, I'm a networking type, and I really enjoy making contacts, and so my Solve360 setup reflects this. The art world is a lot of schmoozing, so sometimes a friend is a client is a contact. Others may prefer to keep their contact list pruned and closely tied to their business, and keeping personal relationships separate.

January 6, 2009 In my last post, I talked a little bit about why I picked Solve360 as my business platform. As an art consultant for businesses and private clients, one of the most crucial elements of my work is recognizing that a good lead can come from anywhere at anytime, like say on an express train from Warsaw to Krakow in Poland. In this post, I want to show more specifically how Solve360 functionality has proven invaluable already by allowing me to leverage my contact database quickly, build on-the-fly editable “proposal” blogs for potential clients, and create my network in Krakow starting with some small talk on an intercity train.

December 3, 2008 “SaaS, PMs, CMS, CRMs, ERPs blah blah blah blah.” Yes, the revolution is here and as a IT consultant, I've helped several business implement their own next-gen software solution from Open Source CRM power houses to the best closed source CMSs money can buy. But at the end of the day, does the end-user really care and should they? Which version of Word do you run? The one that can do spell check with a pretty button or an ugly one? Which Ruby on Rails clone do you worship? The one that preaches simplicity through five different programs or the one that needs ten other applications in its API to do what you need? Online software companies are preaching a lot of things these days, but it mostly isn't about using their software to run a business - it's about doing things prettier, or snappier, or more conveniently, more integrated, more online all the time, more blah blah blah.

Recently a client asked: “I am trying to understand a real world workflow for the project blog facility. Would this feature be used to manage a blog dialogue within Solve360?
