It's true folks, 'One Size (App) Doesn't Fit All,' just as with clothes and shoes and almost everything else. While some App vendors would have you believe that 'they have the only App for you' or 'their App is one of a kind,' the reality is that you need to take a good look and compare similar Apps.
A great place to make such comparisons is on the Exhibit Hall floor at Scaling New Heights, but you need a little preparation before simply walking up to a vendor's booth and asking 'what's up with your App?' That's why we are going to outline a few details and give you some heads-up about 'different size Apps' (in Alphabetical Order, not by Vendor sponsorship level) within the same categories between now and the start of the conference.
By the way, we may not cover every similar App in any one article, but may have several similar articles covering different Apps within the same categories. Also know, there are additional sponsors being added to the rolls at Scaling New Heights since we outlined our list of features for preparation of these articles, to those recently added sponsors will be 'swept into' one or two 'catch-all' features at the end of our series as the conference is starting.
