As someone who helps set the vision for a leading intranet software company, I feel that the decisions we need to make are becoming increasingly fascinating and challenging due to 6 main factors:

1.    Intranet providers like Claromentis have pushed the boundaries of what is usefully deliverable as an intranet application into a space few would have believed possible just a few years ago. Companies, vendors and procurement processes are still trying to adjust.

2.    Modern web based technologies that Claromentis leverage have themselves leapt forwards, transforming what is possible within the constraints of a browser based system.

3.    User expectations have quite rightly moved inline with the ubiquitous availability of modern devices with clean, efficient and beautiful interfaces, an obvious example being the i-phone.

4.    Modern development practices are still evolving towards a reliable method for rapid deployment of web based applications that balance speed of deployment with the goal of exceeding client expectations.

5.    Client management teams are themselves trying to plan their route through information management, compliance, marcomms and innovation issues when planning software acquisitions in the corporate web space.

6.    Our software has become a true platform, rather than a set of products.

What a great place to be!
