SupportSoft sells off Enteriprize biz

Just read the press release announcing that SupportSoft will be selling off their Enteriprize Software business to focus on the consumer business.

This is huge for the future direction of the company. Josh (CEO of SupportSoft) tells in the PR "The transaction allows us to focus on growing our Consumer business". He is so right!

Their is no question that in a few short years support.com has become THE force to be reckoned with in the remote tech support business. With the acquisition of YourTechOnline in 2008, the demise of HiWired in the same year and the growing retail sector they are in my professional opinion at the top in the category and quickly pulling away from the pack.

What gives me the right? Well, I pioneered the remote tech support business back in 1999 when the idea of remote support and the work from home model was a pipe dream to most, in 2005 became the #1 rated in remote support and survived a successful exit. You tell me... do I have the right to say?

I like where these guys are heading!
