Scott Johnson, the CEO of @task joins Craig to discuss on demand web-based project management software.

They discussed the basic benefits of web-based software and tool deployment and the future of  Web-Based (SaaS) applications replacing installed applications and where Scott sees the web-based software market going in the next few years

They discussed the cost factors for SaaS  versus traditional software deployment because according to Gartner, a global IT research firm, the annual cost to own and manage software applications in-house can be up to four times the cost of an initial purchase.

How application vendors such as @Task are offering viable alternatives that provide end users (SMBs) with Enterprise-Level capabilities they can implement without additional IT infrastructure or staff thereby allowing you to capture greater market share.

They will pose and answer the four major questions every buyer should ask before making an on-demand investment.
