Apprenda’s Exciting Future
I wanted to share a quick note with all SaaSBlogs readers regarding Apprenda. You may have noticed that I haven’t been my prolific writing self as of late, but with good reason! Apprenda is a venture capital backed company, and I was very busy raising another round of funding which can definitely sap your time […]

We (Apprenda) had a great event recently down in NYC, and our presentation was extremely well received. It was standing room only at the Public House, and Abe presented to a great group of ISVs and tech savvy networkers that came out to join us. Thanks again to everyone who made it out!

A Hidden Gem in Your “Private Beta”
Lately, I’ve had the great pleasure of being able to work with startups from the Microsoft BizSpark program that are leveraging SaaSGrid to bring their SaaS apps to market.

What if Salesforce.com weren’t multi-tenant?
In my last post, I mentioned that I was going to write one last follow up post on the blogosphere-wide multi-tenancy discussion, so here it is!

What’s the long term cost of not using a PaaS?
If you’re an ISV considering SaaS as a delivery model (whether it’s for a new product or migrating an existing one), you’re going to inevitably bump into SaaS platforms as a potential means of building your service. Once you do, you’re presented with two options: (1) build a fully integrated SaaS offering yourself which includes your actual […]
What’s More Cost Effective, Piecing a SaaS Stack Together or Using a PaaS?
At the OpSource Summit last week, Treb Ryan gave a great presentation that started with a simple (oft taken for granted) question: what is ‘the cloud’? Although this part of the talk was interesting, one particular part of the talk caught my attention. A third or so of the way through, Treb focused on the […]

Farewall to PaaS Provider, Coghead
Coghead announced it was shutting it doors yesterday evening. For those unfamiliar with Coghead, it was a much talked about PaaS offering that offered an online application editor for rapid application development. They fell under the category of non-standard stack, a “4th generation language and runtime” (4GL) if you will. It seems that slow adoption coupled with the […]
