SAP Business ByDesign

It is with great pleasure today we finally get our site up online! Small steps towards something much bigger! For my first blog, I'd simply like to introduce you to our team and what we do. We hope to use this blog to keep everyone updated on our progress but also to tell our story of how we all left a global IT consultancy and started SambaStream. Hopefully along the way we'll learn some good lessons that we can share with you as we come across them!

Our story so far:

The three of us have all worked for one of the world's largest IT consultancies, helping large enterprises, NGOs, and governments around the world develop portals and content management systems. Through this experience we've had in-depth exposure to a lot of the issues that people come across when trying to use content management systems (which most people understand as online document management and collaboration) and most importantly, noticed that the backbone of the economy, small and medium size businesses, can't afford access to these critical technologies to help them collaborate and share knowledge effectively themselves!

Out of this need, and also from our desire to start our own business and have a positive impact on our field of expertise, we have left (or are in the process of leaving) the large IT consultancy to get started developing online applications for small and medium enterprises that are affordable, intuitive to use, and address the core needs of these businesses.
