Supplier View update
May 17th, 2008 | by David |I’ve been pretty quiet the last couple of weeks due to a lot of time away from home. Now that my traveling is done for the near future expect more updates. Just because I have been gone doesn’t mean anything has slowed down on Supplier View. Cody and Aaron have been busy on both design and code for the last couple of weeks. We will meet early in the week to make sure everybody is on the same page and set the course for the next couple of weeks. I’m looking at having something out there for Alpha users in mid-June.
One of my stops while gone was Las Vegas for Ariba Live. I was representing HP but the time spent further validated that what I am doing with Supplier View is needed and not being addressed. There is a huge gap in the so called 360 degree supplier view that the industry is not addressing right now. I’m more excited then ever about Supplier View and getting in front of companies to explain the benefits. The opportunities that are in front of Mucho Salsa are tremendous right now. On the flight back the phrase “Enterprise tools without the Enterprise cost” popped into my head. Make no doubt about I’m in this to make a healthy profit, but I’m also going to make this an easy choice for those considering the cost.
Another exciting development from my time in Vegas was getting to talk for a few minutes with Jason Busch. Jason writes one of the top blogs for the Spend Management community. Spend Matters covers many topics of interest to procurement professionals but one of the areas I think is covered extremely well is technology trends. I gave Jason a brief over of Supplier View and promised to give him one of the first demos. I’m looking forward to his candid feedback.
There is a lot going on but I’ll keep it short. Look for more updates in the near future and make sure to hit that subscribe button!
