Thoughts About This Products
Look for 2009 Version fully
integrated, robust and affordable solution, companies can scale their business
easily and cost less cheaper than others and has a great community of resellers
and developers.
Look out for 2008 it is packed with full
surprises with some cool technology changes and business oriented approach, keep
an eye on your support and resellers.
Not sure abt their future plans but
aggressive plans to capture SMB market, got to watch their prices.
