Comments on: Cloud / SaaS Standards, Will They Benefit You? http://erpcloudnews.com/2009/12/cloud-saas-standards-will-they-benefit-you/ News and commentary about accounting, ERP, and CRM software in the world of SaaS and cloud computing Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:30:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Dennis Howlett http://erpcloudnews.com/2009/12/cloud-saas-standards-will-they-benefit-you/comment-page-1/#comment-34 Dennis Howlett Fri, 18 Dec 2009 03:29:08 +0000 http://erpcloudnews.com/?p=425#comment-34 I agree this is a tough ask but what I've said is the need is for business led standards - in other words, standards business can understand and which relate to their concerns. It plays directly to to the saas/cloud playbook of requiring great customer attention. An example might be: Are you SAS 70 Type 2 compliant? If so can we see a copy of the latest report? these are relatively easy concepts that business buyers can digest without descending into horrendous tech arguments. As always we'll see but right now, I am more hopeful than at any time in the past.
