Hi Richard,
We've got a product, Affinity, that might do what you want in terms of keeping
track of clients/members/jobs etc. More info at www.hiivesystems.com/affinity/.
We're hosting two webinars next week where you can have a good look at how
Affinity works (sign up for free at www.hiive
Not free but basecamp us also an interesting way to collect and manage
info. Though not a crm, it's sister app, highrise, might be a starting
point

Hi there, guys. I suppose I have been technically "lurking" for
awhile, but it was more about monitoring the comments to get a feel
for the group before engaging. I have been stung into action by the
recent sparkling observations by pragmatic visionaries such as Mike C-
B et al. Fantastic stuff, g
I would take a look at goodbarry.com.au, not free but really good
value and you won't have the hassle of running multiple 'free'
services and the accompanying outages (eg Google Docs etc)
I'm guessing you also want to use systems from companies that minimise
their carbon footprint :)

You can also look at vtiger for a CRM.
What type of functionality are you looking for? i can suggest various
project management tools, knowledge sharing, accounting, calendaring,
support software, voice-services, etc - but it would help if you know
what you're trying to achieve.

At the risk of getting a bit abstract, Australians need to accept that
we are an "edge" culture - no one cares about us. Which is actually
great - if we can just accept this.
If we also accept that Australia is a small market and that to be
internationally successful, Australian entrepreneurs nee

Dear SBA,
I am just about to deploy about 10 salespeople who will be working
remotely.
Most of them will be selling to consumers, in the clients home.
I am asking for advise / experiences with various web products that
can automate the 'office backend' .
I am think about using Google Cal, Docs
Seriously, just write a 1 page memo in point form stating what you
need / want.
Contracts are worthless unless you are prepared to go to court to
enforce them, even they are worth much less than people think as the
written contract is only 1 part in the examination of a validity of
a "contract"
Great post Mike - you really nailed the core issues. It's not just an
ICT issue, but rather affects any small business or startup in any
industry. Small business is the backbone of the USA and when these
companies grow to be big, it's without any direct government support
or intervention.

Pia,
This is going to be a little controversial :) but I really think
handouts aren't the way to go. Welfare never created incentive to get
off welfare. In summary, you want to create an incentive for smart
people to strike out on their own, rather than join a big bank,
insurance company or go ov
Do you remember when Australia needed teachers (late 70s early 80s I
think) and we opened the doors (and provided assistance) to US
teachers who came here in droves to bolster that sector. Most of them
stayed.
The ICT sector needs global marketing and sales skills.
Innovative ideas are in abunda
Matt, like the last question
"What does the government think that a healthy ICT sector looks like?"

what did Kate learn when she went to the US in 1999 ?

I think the key point is for Government to get out of the way. They
can’t help “do”. I don’t think these strategies need to single out
ICT industries either. I think any entrepreneurial venture needs to
be, and can be, supported in similar ways. I have a four point plan

Hi Nick
Seems like a Share Sale Agreement and Shareholders Agreement would do you
well. And any put/call options if there are further buyout / 1st option
provisions etc.

Great to have you on the Beach.
Education:
- Give visas to all top computer engineering or science students in AU
who are from overseas
- Reduce HECS for computer engineering or science students
R&D
- Reinstate commercial ready grants
- Tax breaks for R&D investment in AU even by multinationals
Hey SB
We are a small startup (8 ppl) and are current in process at
acquiring/merging another startup with ours to build out our team and
product.
The other startup is smaller than ours (1 founder + IP + customers etc) and
we are are looking to do a really simple M&A deal. Both parties are agreed
I agree with Matt, the generic ICT label is to wide in it's scope.
As a director of the IIA (Internet Industry Association) I represent
the smallest (Cat A) members and I can tell you that 90% of the work
that goes on in the work we do is not immediately relevant to these
members, but does
A small input around my biggest pain...
For our startup, if we didn't pay payroll tax we would be able to reinvest
in our company more and hire more staff.
When that quarterly cheque goes out, i question why i have to pay the
government to create jobs for people at the expense of creating more jo
One thing that the US govt does well is to be a major customer for its

off the top of my head
a) keep out of the way ? seriously, thats a big difference between
here and US.
b) don't make it a crime to want to be successful ? To take a risk
people need to feel its worth it.
c) come to grips with the fact that 2 guys in a garage could start a
100M+ year company.
