Based on a lot of these comments, a decent subsection of the hackers here don't really understand the enterprise very well at all, much less the types of barrier to entry technology service providers face when targeting potential customers (or their problems).
I'm sure I'm not the most experienced here, but I am an IT director in a global enterprise and have ten years experience managing an internal appdev group, as well as owning our messaging, collaboration, and content services platforms/org. If there's interest, I'd be happy to kick off an IAMA to facilitate Q&A from folks who might like to know more about how the vetting process tends to work in a large corporation, or things they might do to wedge their foot in the door.
If this would be useful or interesting, let me know and I'll post.
- smiler 16y agoI'd certainly be interested - I love enterprise IT. I currently work as a developer in a small consultancy working on that kind of stuff. If your internal app dev group allows telecommute and you have any openings - let me know :)
- eduardo_f 16y agoI'm interested too. I used to work in enterprise software sales (average sale in the $M range), so I know a little bit from the selling side, but it's always very educational to learn from the buying side.
- iamelgringo 16y agoAn AMA would be great. Would you mind posting it when you have the time? Greatly appreciated.
- GBond 16y agoI'd be interested as well. Looking at it from an entrepreneur's POV, being on the inside give one a competitive advantage. It would be good to share others who are in the same place. I agree with your comment regarding most comments here show a lack of understanding of enterprise IT. But I guess that is the fundamental problem for new ventures to enter in the realm. Enterprise software operations on a ecosystem that is archaic and closed.
