Thanks for your words of wisdom ! So true you are in relating modern entrepreneurs to very basic enterprise applications. These new E2.0 tools are expected to dramatically change the age old established processes inside and in-between enterprises. Brilliant 20-something modern entrepreneurs simply lack the necessary inside knowledge of how those processes operate. On the other hand “old” “experienced” guys who have the necessary knowledge are just beginning to “warm up” to these tools. And in some ,may be lot of, cases they really “hate” to use these tools for obvious reasons.

Challenge is to bridge this gap between old and new. How can we make “new” appear as “old” ? An answer to this is the secret sauce.

(It is possible!)

Step 2.5 – You must adjust your pricing to model to account for large segments of the market which means including charges for usage.

Getting early traction whilst delivering real value is always going to be difficult, but certainly not impossible. It just takes passion, creativity, hard work and some secret sauce!

I will be in touch!

I am very upset by this article! In the current enterprise software marketplace there is nothing to see, everyone should just move along. There are no opportunities here at all.

A startup by modern entrepreneurs can focus on basic stuff that box.net, 37signals product suite, asana.com already does.

I have been noticing similar products coming in, nothing more.
