Best of Demo – the SMB picks

Given all the lip service being given to the small/medium business market, I was surprised there weren’t more products targeting those users. Nevertheless, there were three that caught my eye.

Digislide Holdings, Pty Ltd.’s Digismart – You couldn’t beat this technology for sheer ”Wow!” factor. It’s a tiny projector, about the size of a keychain fob, that plugs into a cell phone or PDA and projects an 11” X 17” image on a wall or screen. It runs off the power supply of the handheld device and basically lets you take your presentations on the road with you without the hassle of lugging a portable projector. This is still very early-stage technology; the Australian company hopes to ship it this year and doesn’t even have a projected price. It also isn’t yet effective beyond the 11” X 17” size. But if Digislide can make this technology work, everyone’s going to want it.

Interprise Solutions USA, LLC’s Interprise Suite – I didn’t think the world needed another ERP suite, but Interprise thinks it’s got a winner in a fully integrated and internationalized ERP/CRM suite for small business. And it has 1,300 beta sites to prove it. Pricing will be in the $5,000 range for five users.

Sprout Systems, Inc.’s Sproutit Mailroom – The first in a planned suite to SMB productivity tools from this El Cajon, CA-based startup is Sproutit Mailroom, a flexible e-mail management tool that allows users to automatically categorize, route and respond to e-mail messages based on a set of rules. Enterprise products are available with the same functionality but Sprout is focused on SMB organizations that are drowning in e-mail.
