Cliffs note version of Harry Debes interview.

September 4, 2008

After reading Debes’s interview I respectfully disagree with his analysis of where the (SaaS) industry is headed. First check out the Cliffs note version of his interview.

SaaS is the same as ASP which is the same as Service bureaus. Moreover, unlike traditional software, SaaS has a very poor business model because “it does not lock-in users.” Interestingly, according to Debes’s, the “stupid people” will realize that SaaS is a hype.

What do you think?

Does he know something you don’t ? More on this later.
