		<description>Mike,

Although considerably shorter, your story has similar parallels to InteQ. After implementing and consulting clients throughout the past 15 years, we too recognized the pain felt by the market in regards to &#039;clunky software&#039;. Upgrades are costly (and lengthy), infrastructure costs are imminent and the there is a significant reliance on programming skills and adminstrative resources. InteQ released a SaaS help desk Q4 of 2008 to solve this problem. I believe there is still a lot of educating to do in the market as it relates to software-as-a-service - there is still many pre-conceived notions about this delivery model and I hope the more of us there are, the better.

Congrats to you and your team for embracing SaaS and sharing this solution with your market!</description>
