Microsoft WPC 2010

Excellent Conference with Visionary keynotes and exciting demos. That’s how we summarize the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2010. Inspire-Tech’s management were at the conference and we exhibited at the Expo too.

Here’s a summary of some things that Inspire-Tech can relate very well:

• Microsoft’s new slogan on CloudComputing – “We are All IN”
  • Steve Ballmer & many other top honcos repeatedly emphasize Microsoft’s vision and how quickly they’ve embraced Cloud services.
  • They encourage partners to embrace it quickly and find infinite possibilities to our business
  • It is amazing how a giant can transform so quickly, changing their business model to stay relevant to their customers’ needs
  • If the “giant” can be so agile, a nimble ISV like us would certainly be able to embrace the change as fast
  • Years back, Inspire-Tech already have the vision on how we conduct SMS business through “Software installation” & “Software as a Service”
  • The new keywords are “On Premise” and “Cloud”
  • Besides keyword change, the business model on how the software solutions are offered and where it’s gonna be will be adjusted to bring better values to our customers
  • EasiSMS is still our very own “On Premise” solution while RapidSMS is the ”Software as a service” for customers to enjoy SMS software functions over the cloud.
  • There may be some limitations on SaaS or Cloud Services as it will be generic services across many customers. We believe the design of the solution is important so it can satisfy as many clients across different industry verticals. Our R&D team has been investing on improving our solutions to meet the demands.
  •  However, if customers needed more control and customised features, EasiSMS still stay relevant to their needs.
  • Inspire-Tech can’t agree further that we are “All In” too
• The value of BPOS (Business Productivity Online Services)
  • We are already using it for almost 6 months. It is an excellent platform.
  • We would be assisting many businesses to get on to BPOS.
• Exciting Windows Phone 7 coming soon
  • cool features and not forgetting, giving us the productivity in our handsTest phones are shipped out
  • we are waiting eagerly to get our hands on and develop our mobile apps on the new O/S.

Other interesting points include

• Redefining PC from Personal Computing to Personal Cloud
• A shift from just computing to cloud. The ability to manage your content over the cloud and encourage easy sharing and management of personal content.
