Laurie:
I am writing in response to your June 7, 2009 article regarding the recent release of Federated Apps. on the Intuit Platform. The article indicated that ExpenseWare was the only App that was on the QuickBase Platform. In actuality, ExpenseWare is not on the QuickBase Platform and is built entirely on a SaaS Platform using .net. I am bringing this to your attention simply because I recognize you to be an active contributor to SaaS articles and know that you would like to be aware of the most accurate information.
On a separate note, I would be happy to schedule a call to discuss ExpenseWare so that you may become more informed first hand and also discuss our other flagship SaaS App. TripsWare.com. If warranted, I may be able to arrange some time with our Principal and founder. Please let me know if this is of interest. Thanks.
Best regards,
Sue

You had reached out to me at my website back in late January. That site was http://andrewmyoung.squarespace.com/
Not sure what your email address is – so I am leaving mine. Would love to discuss the SMB market with you direct – it is one of our primary niches at Core and More Technologies.
Thanks

Laurie!
Heartiest congratulations on this new–and so needed—venture! It’s been ages and I’d love to catch up on the last few years.
When is a good time to ring? I’m in Seattle for the time being, so PST time wise.

Hi Laurie, I read your article on http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/emarketing/article.php/3868601/What-is-Social-Media-Management-and-Why-Should-You-Care.htm
Must say it’s a very well written article. I wanted to request you to review Sociota.Net as a social media management platform and probably include it in your article if you find suitable.
Hello Laurie,
My name is Andrew Savin. I am a business manager of Stimulsoft.
I noticed that you are writing reviews on BI tools and would like to offer you to review the product we develop.
Three months ago we have released the product Stimulsoft Reports.Server and would like to suggest it for your review on your web site.
Stimulsoft Reports.Server is designed on the base of the “client-server” computing architecture. It is based on the interaction of multiple clients with the server. The client provides data visualization and user interface, and the server provides data processing, storing and transferring of the necessary information to the client application.
The basic version involves the installation of the entire server infrastructure internally on the enterprise servers. Using its own infrastructure is a good way to prevent overpaying for third-party hardware resources. Own server and communication in an isolated internal corporate environment provide the necessary level of security and data integrity. Stimulsoft Reports.Server is easily incorporated into a chain of processing of corporate information by integrating it with existing internal services.
You can learn more about the application on our website: http://www.stimulsoft.com/en/products/server/overview
We would be happy to provide you with a free non trial version for testing and reviewing purposes. Feel free to reach me out if you have any questions.
I have a speaking opportunity (virtual) for Laurie.
