This Issue's News Theme:Software-as-a-ServiceCan resellers make money out of Software-as-a-Service? The software as a service (SaaS) model represents a fundamental shift in the dynamics of the computer industry. David Bradshaw, principal analyst with the IT market watcher Ovum outlines issues for resellers - which are also relevant for accountancy firms who get involved with SaaS providers. A conversation with Mark Holland: Don't be frightened of Software-as-a-Service Much as it may affront us, there are still those people who subscribe to the old stereotype that accountants are single minded, number crunching, spreadsheet-loving technophobes. While there may be a few who still conform to that image, a great number of us don't as we all realize that technology is continually changing. So too must our profession. Yankee Group advisory: SMBs demanding Software-as-a-Service As small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) increasingly move to Web-based accounting applications deployed in Software as a Service (SAAS) arrangement, CPAs face a key decision on whether to help SMBs make the move or stand by and risk losing clients. So says Sanjeev Aggarwal, senior SMB strategies analyst at technology market watchers, The Yankee Group. How to start a company without an IT professional Have you ever noticed that IT professionals are grumpy? I think that part of the reason is because they never get calls like this: "Hey IT guy, just calling to say that everything is working okay today and you're a great guy!" Technology trends to watch What do you think are the important technology trends of 2007 - enterprise search, voice over Internet or the paperless office? This year, we've seen the arrival of Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007, we're hearing more about XBRL as the future of financial reporting, we're watching as software as a service (SaaS) takes off, and we see the continued emergence and convergence of wireless communication in the form of smaller but more utilitarian devices.
