From alpha to Xeequa

Palo Alto, Calif.-based startup Xeequa Corp. today announced new “Web 2.0 software applications for business people.” Okay, then.

The small company touts its product as different web-based software: While traditional software, whether installed on-premise or delivered as a service, say the Xeequans, is purchased and owned by one company for their employees, Xeequa is designed to cross company boundaries and allows instant networking with partners and alliances, sharing of business opportunities and sales leads and collaborating over the internet. It’s got a simple sign-up process!

“While today’s business world is completely networked, most of our business software architecture still goes back to the ’70s” says founder/CEO Axel Schultze. “…Xeequa created a Web 2.0 business application entirely from scratch and converges what works for the consumer net with business applications. That way we help business people to network, share and collaborate across company boundaries instantly.”

The Xeequa system is offered at no charge. “In order to accelerate adoption, the Xeequa management team selected a sponsorship-based business model.”

The new system is currently in alpha testing. Public beta testing is scheduled to begin on February 22. To register, go to the Xeequa homepage.

Xeequa Corp. bills itself as “the first provider of cross-company business applications.” Xeequa Web 2.0 seeks to allow sales and marketing people to network and collaborate across company boundaries. Xeequa is based in Palo Alto, Calif.
