Apatar introduced a solution for SalesForce.com and QuickBooks synchronization. It's the first SaaS solution offered by Apatar, which had a desktop version up to the monet. Apatar now goes online.

My mistake. It looks like the price for full service connection of salesforce to SAP from Pervasive is $1000 per month, as opposed to the $2500 per month that Cast Iron charges just to own the appliance, and the first 80 hours of service to make it work.

That's not exactly the same as connecting to SAP. :) Best, CAM Paige,

Correct me if I'm way off, but I think Cast Iron quotes about $2500/month for just one of their appliances for a salesforce integration. So, why exactly would anyone pick that over $1000/year for a full service hosted solution? I also wonder why a product whose sole claim to fame is being simple to use has to bundle in a ton of service hours by their experts in order for it to actually work. When something changes down the line and the black box their guys set up breaks, do they throw in the next 80 hours to make it work again in free as well? If they're actually convincing people to go for this, I'd say Cast Iron has one heck of an impressive marketing department.
