Montreal (Quebec) - Softletter, a leading source of business insights and data analysis for software developers and publishers, recently cited Quantum Whisper as an example of a "new generation of community-focused products for the SaaS industry". Rick Chapman, Softletter's Managing Editor, advocates that many of the functions traditionally associated with product managers will disappear or become irrelevant. Requirements gathering, a core product management responsibility, Chapman suggests, should be handled directly by the SaaS application, with prioritization driven primarily by the community of users.
Quantum Whisper, an ISV focused on SMB product management software, targets precisely this market niche. By providing customers with a ready to use community platform, Quantum Whisper facilitates the capture, analysis and reporting of first-hand customer feedback. Product managers engage and empower the product community, and by virtue of self-management and collaboration, deliver prioritized market demand.
Barry Paquet, Quantum Whisper founder, is pleased with the market reception his company has received, "The early customer feedback is particularly inspiring". The start-up, which has yet to launch a public version is gaining interest on many fronts. Several customers, partners and investors have expressed interest in the little known start-up. The company already has a prospective list of customers and is working diligently with beta candidates.
Timing might be everything. SaaS companies are striving to extend the value of their offerings by providing communities for their customers. Quantum Whisper is unique in that it not only provides a social network for customers, but also provides low touch product management tools to engage, collaborate and channel feedback. Paquet suggests the early success "is a testament to our value proposition".
