Blog: Back to the tech world – into SaaS

It has been a year and a half since I joined Function Point and what a year and a half it’s been! After running my own business (an indoor rock climbing gym) for 4 years I had the itch to get back into the high tech realm (my background prior to the climbing gym was in marketing and channel management at a large Telco/ISP in Western Canada). With my entrepreneurial spirit and desire to work with a small, dedicated, client-centric organization, the opportunity at Function Point jumped right out at me. I love the fact that I get to work with so many creative individuals and that we’re able to truly help our clients become more efficient and more profitable.

It is an exciting time here at Function Point. An increasing number of design firms, web development companies and architects are adopting software as a service (SaaS) as a model for their software needs. Because of this we find ourselves growing (both as a team and with our product) and have been working hard over the last 6 months to come up with the strategic direction of the company and plan for the system. Stay tuned, we’ve got some pretty cool enhancements coming, starting with the new fp Extranet launching within the next 2 months (this will also give our clients a sneak preview of what to expect with our new interface that we’re working on).

Enjoy the brief introductions that each of our team members will be giving over the next few weeks. It’ll be a great opportunity for you to get to know a bit more about Function Point and the personalities on our team. Also, as always, feel free to give any one of us a call – we believe in a flat organization and make sure we’re all available to answer any of your questions.
