Nuance Communications Inc computer software technology transforms car to Siri like assistant

May 24th, 2012

A newly devised computer software program devised by Nuance Communications Inc., a US based Multinational Corporation is called Dragon Drive. This product can turn your car into a Siri like computer personal assistant.

This facility is available to car owners around the world who are already using the Nuance voice recognition system which enables voice dialing and climate controlling systems. These are only limited to controlling technology in the vehicle. Customers tire of such devices and are always on the lookout for something new and exciting and that is just what Nuance Communications inc., have come up with. The company has extended the control to a cloud wherein you can interact with the internet while cruising along. The car is loaded with Dragon Drive which can text, make grocery lists and give updates on the latest news bulletins all while you concentrate on driving. All the user has to say is next if they do not find the news bulletin interesting enough.

Car owners however will not be able to get their hands on this new and highly efficient software as Nuance sells the same directly to car manufacturers. So the only way would be to buy a new car and that too in the medium or higher price range that comes fitted with the software.

The Future of the Software Business – The SaaS Commerce Network™

May 24th, 2012

Promoting Software as a Service SaaS business application to millions of SMBs worldwide just became easier and more cost effective. Silicon Valley based, SaaS Markets has launched the SaaS Commerce Network™ (SCN), the largest global business network for Software-as-a-Service web applications.

The announcement of the SaaS Commerce Network (SCN) will allow SaaS application developers’ greater opportunity to distribute their SaaS based apps worldwide to an audience of over 71 million businesses through the network.

By participating in the SaaS Commerce Network (SCN), the application provider immediately gains exposure in 32 stores around the world, in 23 different countries (with significant targeted growth plans for 2012 to 100+ Stores). With hundreds of new SaaS apps being added on a monthly basis, businesses can quickly discover the latest app to streamline any process. While, SaaS providers can effortlessly promote their SaaS app to a global business network.

With Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) fundamentally transforming the way businesses of all sizes operate, and forecasts for the global market in cloud computing expected to grow from $40.7 billion to more than $241 billion in 2020, no longer will enterprises be subjugated to purchasing costly systems and software that require time-consuming installation, significant customization and maintenance. The internet is making it easier to utilize nimble point solutions in a way that’s more efficient, cost-effective and virtually maintenance free.

“I’ve spoken before about bringing ‘SaaS to the Masses,’” said Ferdi Roberts, CEO of SaaS Markets, “but this is greater than that. With the SaaS Commerce Network, we are building the platform that we believe will be the number one source of software sales globally. Every single software company on the planet needs to have a SaaS offering and there are hundreds of new SaaS Companies being born every year. The SaaS Commerce Network gives these new and established software businesses an instant route to market through our global network of stores”. “That,” he added “is a game-changer for the software industry”.

For buyers, stores in the SaaS Commerce Network (SCN) offers small and medium sized businesses the opportunity to browse, trial, and buy over 1,200 unique Software-as-a-Service solutions.
