This PPT slide, part of the 66-slide Plan for Performance Methodology PowerPoint presentation, presents an assessment of various calendaring software leaders, focusing on 3 key areas: breadth of product portfolio, technology, and financial resources. Each competitor—Steltor, Critical Path, eCal, Openwave Systems, i-Planet, and Microsoft—is evaluated across these dimensions using a rating system that ranges from weak to strong.
Steltor and eCal are highlighted for their concentrated efforts on calendaring applications, indicating a strategic alignment in their product offerings. Openwave Systems (OW) is noted for its complementary products, although it lacks an e-calendar solution at this time. i-Planet is mentioned for its messaging and application server software, which reportedly holds a leading market share.
In terms of technology, Steltor is recognized for its superior infrastructure, which has garnered positive feedback from its clients. This suggests a strong technical foundation that could be appealing for potential customers looking for reliable solutions.
Financial resources are also assessed, revealing that Steltor consistently achieves profitability. In contrast, Critical Path is identified as facing financial challenges. eCal benefits from backing by Nokia Ventures, which may provide it with a degree of stability. Openwave Systems appears to be in a healthy financial position, while i-Planet's ownership situation is expected to change in the near future.
Overall, the slide provides a clear comparative analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of key players in the calendaring software market. It offers valuable insights for decision-makers considering partnerships or investments in this sector.
