Thumbnail image for eBIS-XML v SUBL: it's a stupid discussion

I’m not going to get all techie here so don’t worry. Instead I am going to address the elephant in the room when it comes to standards. It seems I sparked off something of a debate among the vendors with my SUBL post. That was to be expected. In the one corner we have Xero, [...]

CODA – I never thought I'd see this

September 9, 2009 Cloud Computing/SaaS

I can’t remember how long I’ve been following CODA’s fortunes – I know it’s a long time. Would it be since 1994-5 maybe? I never thought I’d ever see them do a Basecamp integration yet that is exactly what they’ve done: CODA 2go’s API is available in both Web Service and Apex forms, allowing for seamless [...]

From our standpoint, using a proven, scalable platform has been a [...]

I would not normally report such things but COA Solutions announcement that it’s first half results are rosy is unusual. COA doesn’t need to announce half year results as it is privately owned. In comparative terms, this places COA on a par with the pre-Agresso acquired CODA which was a public company. According to the [...]

CODA2go almost ready to go

April 30, 2008 General

Yesterday I got a sneak preview of CODA2go, CODA‘s on-demand solution that builds onto Salesforce.com‘s force.com platform. It’s impressive.
