Short, but interesting interview with eRoom CEO Jeffrey Beir …

Some quotes: "Beir: A proprietary, fat-client, peer-to-peer, replicated, $49-a-client strategy is not a modern strategy. It's a very '90s strategy. Let's step back to the business problem. A team of people needs to come together rapidly to collaborate on a mission-critical project. There's rich content, and there are lots of applications. That dictates an architecture that must work very easily across enterprises; it needs to be agnostic about the platform; it needs to be thin-client so it's easy to deploy; it needs to be enterprise-scalable and 24-by-7."
