I keep hearing from various analysts the importance of SaS 70 (preferably type 2) certification for SaaS vendors; and I of course hear a lot of SaaSen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/gianpaolo/archive/2007/06/30/either-i-don-t-get-it-or-i-m-calling-at-least-partial-bs-on-sas-70.aspx#3673095Tue, 03 Jul 2007 20:13:16 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3673095Gianpaolo Carraro<p>That is exactly my point. Vendors are going through the SaS70 process to be &quot;checkbox&quot; compliant. But based on my understanding, that checkbox means very little. It has become a &quot;self fulfilling prophecy&quot;; I wish more people were challenging the actual value.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3673095" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/gianpaolo/archive/2007/06/30/either-i-don-t-get-it-or-i-m-calling-at-least-partial-bs-on-sas-70.aspx#3672928Tue, 03 Jul 2007 19:58:19 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3672928VoIPGuru<p>Gianpaolo</p> <p>Its more for a RFP, RFQ exercise. If the SMB/Enterprise does not see the SAS70 type2 checkbox marked, the SaaS vendor is more than likely to get rejected.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3672928" width="1" height="1">
