Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Australian Web hoster WebCentral has established Australia's first online sales hub for Software as a Service (SaaS) applications - the WebCentral Application Marketplace www.applicationmarketplace.com.au. The portal can be accessed by SMEs seeking 'on demand' business applications ranging from CRM to accounting and tax services.
WebCentral CEO, Andrew Spicer, says, "An important part of WebCentral's
business strategy is fostering the uptake of dynamic applications
through our managed hosting services. Creating an online forum where
local application developers can promote their products is one way we
are investing in, and committing to, local SaaS providers."
"We hope that by delivering this unique support and sales mechanism to
our SaaS customers, we'll drive demand for their applications and
continue to strengthen our relationship as trusted business partners.
By leveraging our quality infrastructure, proven systems and rapid
scalability services, these vendors can focus on developing and
servicing their client base rather than managing their IT
infrastructure." Mr Spicer finishes.
To date, the most popular categories of SaaS applications on the
Marketplace are website management (16%), CRM (13%), accounting and tax
(12%) and business process (11%) tools. The most frequently visited
applications by industry have been accounting (7%), sales and marketing
(6%) and IT&T (6%).
