Thank God It's Friday (TGIF) and for workable technology

I have been evaluating small and medium sized business technology with a the friend I dropped off at the airport the other day. We have been trying to figure out which system would be best to run the back office and be easiest to implement. Three candidates were chosen.

Microsoft Small Business Server - Powerful and fairly complete with an email server, database server, collaborative workspace, and web site all built in. No sales or project management pieces.

Intuit QuickBase - Web based, multi service platform with sales, project, and service management pieces just to name a few. No email server or real way to keep the data in the business' hands.

NetSuite Small Business - Similar to QuickBase in feature and lack of features.

The bottom line is pricing and existing software always drive the decision. We concluded that based on the last two factors, QuickBase was our best solution. They simply make technology work!
