David Terrar tells me that he's inking a deal which sees his company D2C acting as the corporate sales channel partner for EditGrid in the UK. That's great news. The next thing will be to get EditGrid integrated to Twinfield. When that happens depends on the development schedule.
EditGrid has already created a plug-in for Atlassian's Confluence wiki. A very smart move. For those that don't know, Atlassian has a strong customer base of some 7,400 in 88 countries. When they get this tidied up then it will be one more step on the path to offering a content and knowledge management system that professional accountants can use as a replacement for proprietary offerings. So for example, they could keep client stats, contact history, documents, you name it, all in one easily searched repository, accessible by anyone who needs to know what's going on.
EditGrid is also working on a gadget for Facebook - another smart move and a genuine step in the right direction for what I see as business use of the FB platform. It can only be a matter of time before the Facebook people wake up to the business potential rather than simply relying on ad support.
As an aside - this is what I see as mashup innovation at Internet speed.
As a further aside - I worked out the story through Skype conversations with David T and David Lee, MD of EditGrid.
