DEMO and the Economic Slowdown
We’ve been very busy since last fall. In September, I went to San Diego to present Paragent.com at the DEMO fall ’08 conference. We were well received by all of the folks we talked to, and Network World listed us as a “cool new tech.” It was a nice experience but requires a bit of overtime to prepare. Here is link to our presentation: http://www.paragent.com/demo.html.
It was good to speak to so many different people including investors and business development folks. There were many good ideas that we hope to add to Paragent.com in the near future.
When the economic slowdown hit, we were very curious to see if our low price, high value product would be seen as such by the market. To date, we can say that about half of our calls about the product involve a comment about switching to Paragent.com because their current system is many times more expensive, plus complaints that the expensive system doesn’t work as well as expected.
While it seems like every time we turn on the TV there is more bad news about the economy, this turns out to be good news for Paragent. There is a renewed focus on cost saving and value in IT departments, and we are gratified that our plan to make a low cost product that is highly usable is being well received by the market.
