There have been rumblings here and there about whether the on-demand software suite might replace the behemoth systems usually found today. Yesterday, I came across this piece on Sandhill by Michael A Braun, CEO of Intacct which purports to support the thesis.
Apart from the fact it is appallingly written, the case it makes is so overblown, muddled, full of hyperbole and short on fact, you’d have to be a complete novice software buyer not to see straight through it.
Fortunately, the media we have access to today allows anyone with an opinion to express how they see a particular story. Needless to say, most commenters (rightly) dismissed it as a piece of puffery, even though whomever really wrote it (it’s usually the PR department), attempted to make the odd good point.
As an exercise in futility, the piece reminded me that regardless of how much you or I might believe in a particular approach to software, there is always the risk of believing your own bullshit to the point of looking faintly ridiculous. This is a good example. As a reality check, it’s not wasted.
