There's a common misconception out there that "complete" is expensive, complicated, or somehow "more than we need". Traditionally, some of this is true (i.e. Expensive), but that's one of the reasons we decided to break the mold. Firstly, you have to look at your business holistically if you want to get the most automation bang for your buck (or Euro, Pound, etc..). Yes you can simply buy BizAutomation and use it for basic contact management instead of ACT or some other similar tool, and some people actually do that....but eventually they realize "hey there's a lot more we can do here to benefit our business, and it's not hard to figure out" (then you realize that a single function product would have locked you in). In the end, it's all about efficiency and value. For the few hundred per user you might have paid for that contact management system, why not get something that's not only web based giving you the reach you need, but actually does a whole lot more ? Once you demo Biz, you'll come to realize that it's simply a no brainier.

If you're a small to mid sized company (5 to 200 employees), you'll find our suite worth looking at. Database size isn't an issue as we're able to provide sub-second response rates throughout the suite.

Where products like Salesforce.com are focused on becoming "platforms" that require a myriad of add-ons to reach needed functionality (not to mention all those add-on prices), and vertically integrated software companies like Sage and Microsoft, sell point packages with the intention of cross selling other systems within their solution stack (which sets artificial limits on what they include), we'd say BizAutomation.com can most closely be compared to Netsuite in that it's an all-in-one service. Unlike companies like Netsuite and SAP however, BizAutomation.com wasn't designed for larger businesses. BizAutomation.com was designed to maximize ease of use while retaining all the functionality needed to manage all the departments of a typical business. This translates into much lower set-up costs, and a simplified user interface which also means easier to use and thus train deployment scenarios. To learn more about how we compare to other leading products and services in terms of features and costs, we encourage you to go through our product comparison page. We also suggest you read our white paper in the "News & Events" section, titled "The comming of the integrated enterprise".

BizAutomation.com customers are way to smart to fall for that "Good, Better, Best" shell game other companies like to play. There's only one version of BizAutomation.com On-Demand, and we'll talyor it to meet your unique needs. Our goal is to make it feasible (financially and logistically) for you to manage your entire business through a single integrated system. Ask your sales representative for details.

BizAutomation.com servers are located within a Tier 1 Data Center strategically located within the path of one of California's main Internet back-bones. It features redundant Multi-Homed HYBRID Tier1 Bandwidth, raised floors, and locked cabinets. Our servers employ appropriate RAID redundancy, and we offer data back-ups to customers that need such services for an additional monthly fee.

If a software company asks you to run your entire business on its SaaS solution, shouldn’t you have confidence that company will be around in the years to come ? We think so too, and the best way to predict the likelihood of that is to find out "Who controls the company" as well as more traditional indicators such as financials. The first thing we think is important is to find out if a company is funded by Venture Capital investors (VCs). If they are, then chances are the VC has a majority stake in the company. This is important because VCs are by nature interested in as quick a return on their investment (ROI) as possible, and aren't emotionally involved in the company as a founder might be. All VCs have "exit strategies", which in too many cases usually means "acquisition" or in very rare cases, IPO. This is why some companies can make grandiose promises like "Our prices will never change" (think about it, could anyone make this promise if they planned to be around in 10 years?). If a company’s founding members have a minority share in their own company, then any promise they make is subject to the exit strategy of its investors. Given the fact that many software companies are acquired in order to transition their customer base into the acquiring company’s products, we think this should be of some concern to you (remember JD Edwards, Upshot, Salesnet, Seibel, and People Soft ?).

So where does BizAutomation.com fit into the picture ? We're happy to say that we're 100% employee owned and funded, have no debts, and no outside investors or VCs pressuring us to sell. In fact, the company founders are adamantly against being acquired or selling off, and consider BizAutomation.com their “passion”. To them the goal is NOT to make as much money in a little amount of time as possible, with little regard for the long term well being of its customers (an anomaly in the dot com era). What this means, is that you can look forward to years of innovation and stability, just what the SaaS industry needs, but unfortunately has little of.
