As these companies evolved and grew their software offerings and business models changed as well. Evolving to focus more on "Enterprise" type businesses and all but ignoring much of the rest of the potential markets. There are many companies out there that can be slated as small or medium businesses based on employee head count or Gross profit dollar amounts, but really have enterprise "like" needs. For example, many hedge funds run their entire operation with only ten to twenty employees. But, the accounting needs for many hedge funds is that of a large firm. Where i think WinWeb really excells is offering services to companies that have needs similar to larger businesses but do not have the transactions to justify using SAP or Oracle. WinWeb seems to really fill the huge gap between business and enterprise.
