Interesting article from The Times of India - Small’s big biz: Microsoft’s new goal 9 Feb 2008, 1041 hrs IST,TNN
A couple of extracts below, it could be argued, demonstrate that Bill G + Microsoft still do not see as their priority or focus the majority of UK SMEs (and the world’s SMEs??) who employ 10 employees or less. Thank goodness there are CRM products, including Woosabi.com, that offer SMEs affordable CRM and Business Management Systems that specifically aim at helping the vast majority of SMEs.
Extracts:
“Bill Gates stepped on the stage to flag off the IT giant’s biggest ever mid-market drive aimed at prizing open the new and yet unexplored markets of small and medium businesses for Microsoft’s new products.”
“Mr Gates, Microsoft’s chairman and chief software architect, took the floor…….his CEO, Steve Ballmer, minced no words when he told the ‘Business Summit’ that the company was “looking at huge revenue growth from the mid-market customers.” All those who employed 50 to 1,000 employees and spent anything from $20,000 to $1m a year on IT were the company’s targets.
