Amy Wohl posted about SaaS and trust last week. She talks about the importance of trusting your SaaS provider as a small or medium business. After all you are storing all your critical data with the selected provider. Now I think that is a good thing, most SMB’s do not have resources or skills to correctly handle backup, network stability, application up-time etc. So outsourcing this should be every CEO’s priority, but still trust is critical in this process. Amy is waiting for SaaS providers to sign deals with a huge and trustworthy company such as a bank or a telco. We agree with her. That’s why we signed a partnership with Fokus Bank (owned by the Danish Bank) to integrate 24SevenOffice in the Fokus Bank’s netbank. Taking SaaS-trust to a whole new level.
