Enterprise 2.0 and SaaS (Software as Service) are certainly not the same thing and there are many enterprise 2.0 applications that are hosted within the fire wall. However, I keep learning of new applications that have adopted the SaaS or on-demand model of software delivery. I have been recently writing about many of these on the AppGap blog. So I decided to start a listing of the ones I have written about on this blog or the AppGap (see below). A few of these have not yet been posted but will appear soon.
I am sure that I left out some firms. Let me know if I wrote about you and missed the on-demand part. I am not trying to build a complete SaaS listing. There are others doing this already such as SaaS Showplace that lists over 115 on-demand CRM providers, for example, in addition to the one below. It also has 44 categories of SaaS firms from accounting/finance to workforce/field service management. If you can think of some new SaaS categories, I welcome that also.
collaboration: Central Desktop, Clarizen, QuickBase, Awareness
communities - GroupSwim, Awareness, Tomoye
CRM - RightNow
data backup - Carbonite
HR - SuccessFactors
e-learning - SkillSoft
mashups - Serena
meetings - WebEx, Yugma
project management - Daptiv, Wrike, Central Desktop, QuickBase
virtual environments for business - Unisfair
VoIP Integration - BroadSoft
web server load balancing and failover - TZO

You mentioned meetings and believe that a larger category of “web events” or “online events/shows” is one to consider. My company, ON24, provides a webcasting platform that is ideal for managing, producing and holding online events. Please let me know if you’re interested in learning more about us.
Bill - Just wrote up an aiimALERT this week on Intalio’s combination SaaS and Open Source BPM offering. Interesting (I hate to say it) “mashup” of the capabilities of these two development and deployment models. Haven’t seen anyone else combining the two at this level, although it’s possible I’ve missed the news.
Interesting times for all of us, although infinite choice can be a primary cause of analysis paralysis for the buying public.
See the aiimALERT for more details.
IT Services category, which includes services such as the IT Asset Management service provided by my company, SAManage.
