This will be hard to beat, especially because my new batch of nine inferences will be stated in more measurable ways, leaving little room for history rewriting. Let’s give it a shot anyway, and meet again on December 31st, 2007 for our yearly performance review. In the meantime, happy new year to all!

Also, all I need is an online solution (no hybrid model). I need integration with Salesforce.com for invoicing and collecting. Best regards -Ismael Dennis,

Are you talking hybrid, or online only? Also, integration to online banking is nigh on impossible, except on a case by case basis. You'll get PayPal integration -- though that's messy, as developers will tell you. SFdC integration is problematic for vendors, unless they're prepared to cede part of the channel to SFdC. That is difficult, because it pre-supposes you'll get your finance application via SFdC -- unlikely, though it could happen. As for integration to others -- yes -- that's already happening. But is it integration or assembly? I'd much rather know I can assemble from a range of options, but then I have to decide which is the driver to the system. Chances are I end up with a portal-style implementation that could for instance be powered by something like Blogtronix. There's no simple answer right now. QuickBooks Online Edition is PC only.

Time has come for it to reach the masses. I would think that your company (<a href="http://www.koral.com/" rel="nofollow">Koral</a>) and <a href="http://www.alfresco.com/" rel="nofollow">Alfresco</a> have a good shot at it, with online and on premise offerings respectively. Best regards -Ismael Mark,

On the M&A front there was a lot of activity in the ECM (Enterprise Content Management) space this past year. - IBM acquired FileNet (price circa $2 billion) - Oracle acquired Stellant (c. $500 million) - OpenText acquired Hummingbird (c. $700 million) - Vignette & Interwoven both rumored to be on the blocks I think that this is a great untapped area in the enterprise software space because most of the content management solutions in the past have not been very successful. I think that this trend will continue as Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP are all very interested in this growth area to address the needs of "content management for the masses", as most of us still keep our files stored in email. Ismael,

Good record on predictions! On the M&A front there was a lot of activity in the ECM (Enterprise Content Management) space this past year.

- IBM acquired FileNet (price circa $2 billion)

What are you after functionally in an online accounting tool?

Freshbooks and Blinksale give you online billing. But if you’re looking for a fullblown accounting application, what’s up with NetSuite? In Europe, we have a bunch of solutions…
