BlitzDirectory video interview

March 27th, 2008

I finally had some time to start editing some of the video interviews we did during the BlitzWeekend. The first one is BlitzDirectory. Heri from MontrealTechWatch has a great interview with them and here is a video interview that we shot during the weekend. BlitzDirectory won the people’s award with their product. I personally think it’s very cool as this would solve one of my daily pain (my day job is a security expert). Managing local accounts for users who are laid off or fired is often hard for most companies and managing multiple ASP accounts is even harder. I have yet to see a place where it’s done properly (i.e. in real time).

According to Erik Wright, “BlitzDirectory aims to eliminate the barriers to SaaS adoption facing small and medium businesses. By providing a unified experience for both administrators and users, BlitzDirectory will provide service consumers an affordable, “better-than-desktop” experience that they can setup in minutes. For SaaS vendors, BlitzDirectory is a targeted, value-added sales channel that enables them to stand out from the crowd.”

They focus SMB’s but I think they should focus large businesses as that’s where the problem is more critical (regulations and so on) and also, that’s where the money is
