This was my comment to Jerry Bowles in regards to his article about SuiteTwo and Blogtronix
I do not think there is a class war nor are we aiming for one. What Vassil and I will do is just let time tell who is right. What I will aim now (and this is what I have been doing for the last 13 years) is to produce the best possible software, best possible solution and service for our customers (and for the customers of our competitors :):) ). We, at ConsultCommerce have been doing Enterprise software since 1995. Blogtronix was started last year in February and we released our first version 0.5 in November 05, 1 year later we have version 1.5 which I think is a killer.
What I want to show everybody is that web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 are not just elaborate terms but a way and method of presentation and explanation about where online services and products are going. Blogtronix is one of the examples. It is great that Intel gathered so many nice companies and plans to produce something that was in our heads for 2 years already. We already have super enterprise and social blogging modules, data mining, dashboard and corporate compliance tools (we recently did a demo for a company dealing with statistics and they were amazed by the functionality available and the statistical regression analysis already built in based on the data in the system available in the WIKIs, articles, comments, personal and corporate user profiles, and the docs in the document management system). I will be more than happy to make a demo or give a demo account for anybody interested to see what we have done and where we are going. We have incorporated Blogging and Knowledge management tools, rating systems, WIKI and Document management, Social and Business Network, Internal messaging system and Extensive RSS server and RSS Aggregator. We have developed a very profound personal and corporate profiling system allowing the users to instantly identify who and how eligible the person you are discussing or linking to is. One of the unique functions is the creation of groups and subgroups that can be public or private, internal or external for the system, as well as the ability to join groups and subgroups (societies and sub societies) of external systems easily. But enough advertising .. :):)
I really wonder about the media guys though – they did not even do any research to see what the other companies on the market (our competitors and friends at Atlassian (Confluence) were doing collaboration software years before anyone calls it a WIKI, for example) are already doing and rushed to inform the world about that “big deal” that Intel is doing. Well, I do not think it is a big deal but I do thank Intel for that as we needed the outside validation a bit. We have it now, not in six or whatever months – one platform, one solution and you can trust me on this one – for the next six months we will not just sit and watch, guys, we have some news and tricks in our sleeves and hats that will be popping out at least three times for the next upcoming 6 months, some of the news and services we are releasing very soon will really be very surprising …
Rod Boothby called us “a true Web Office solution” months ago, and we have not stopped working and implementing new functionality for a single minute. We put everything that our customers request and we are implementing everything that we have planned and planning for the future… and that will be the case. We will not stop working because we have customers and partners that trust us.
