Yes. Try looking at Salesforce and its suite of cloud solutions like Chatter, Marketing Cloud, Services Cloud, and Sales Cloud. Let me know if there's something around the same I can help you out with.

What is the average pre-money valuation of a enterprise/SaaS stat-up that is pre-revenue?
There is no valuation until you sell something. An idea or a company is only worth what its sales are. Once you have your initials sales, sales strategy and forecasting length (ie 9 months from first customer lead to close) then you have a formula for valuation. Valuation for start-ups is generally 3.5 x last years sales model should be the growth factor. When you are looking for investors, you will want to have atleast 9-18 months of SALES, not just pipeline and they will be looking at 5x revenue for a 3-5 year payback.TP

Should we convert our perpetual license holders to SaaS?
SaaS is the way everyone seems to be going these days, as it is a huge revenue producer for software vendors. Why make $50 once when you can instead milk someone for $10/month for life? As a holder of multiple desktop licenses for products like Quickbooks, Photoshop, etc I can say that I HATE when I am forced to go to a subscription-based model unless it comes with some very good perks. Quickbooks is using pretty brutal tactics to get everyone to switch, including disabling real-time sync with bank accounts, etc. For this reason I will probably switch to a different software vendor in the very near future. If you do decide to go to an SaaS model, make sure that you give the users a very good reason to switch and ideally give them a choice, don't force it on them. Free upgrades are petty much a given, or else what are they paying for?PR

What is the best ERP solution for ecommerce/is it needed?
My experience is mostly related to Open Source ERP systems (and eCommerce systems). The two options you have are: 1. Go with an ERP system that has inbuilt eCommerce. There are several ERP systems which have this feature. Netsuite is a popular commercial cloud based system that has a built-in eCommerce system. Tryton and Nereid is an Open source alternative (Disclaimer: I work for a company that works on this stack). At advantages of an integrated system are: - One database to manage everything from sales to gift cards to refunds to shipping - Order updates reflect real time across the customers my account page and your ERP. - No more asking for credit card information when customers want to change orders. - Shipping (fulfilment) status reflects realtime - Pricing updates have to be done only at one place - Possibility to have additional sales channels like a point of sale, a marketplace etc. 2. Go for an eCommerce system that has known integrations with ERP systems. This is a popular approach too and there is a large plugin ecosystem with most ERP systems that provide integrations. The tricky aspect however is that no integration can be a 100% tight. So you need to analyze if the integration covers the features critical to your workflow. For example, most integrations provide importing of orders, but if your business uses gift cards extensively, you might want to make sure that the integration handles gift card and related accounting well. A few disadvantages of the approach is: - Maintaining integrations when either of the softwares change is costly. - Introducing a feature on either systems will need development on the other. For example, if you want to use reward points on webstore, your ERP might need it too. I will be happy to take a call to understand your use case.ST
