Thanks that makes sense and clarifies my thinking. So one quality that would be very advantageous for an SaaS company would be the ability for customers to customize their desktop experience. Just thinking off the top of my head. Seems to me that given database structures, that might be doable. Just a question of good designers and programmers. Also seems to me that settling on a standardized database like SQL would probably be a wise move for at least smaller companies. I would imagine that SQL is neither as flexible, fast or capable as an Oracle system though. er... Of course SaaS companies would have to have their own systems. I wonder what they are using, proprietary, SQL or even Oracle. Price - Flexibility - (Pretty obvious.) Usability - respect for designers (fat chance) Speed - function of size Now how would one go about finding this info and comparing offerings?
