Cloverleaf Climbs Out: Page 2 of 3

Duplessie says the company will face competition on a number of the different features it provides, but he hasn’t seen anybody even remotely close to offering the whole smorgasbord the company will be serving its customers. “It just does tons of cool stuff,” he says.

While the Cloverleaf technology may be top-notch, and could certainly be beneficial to the medium-sized and high-end enterprises it’s targeting, simply trying to explain what it does could prove to be a liability. “They have to figure out how to pare it down to go to market,” Duplessie says. “It really does so many things that it’s a burden to describe.”

No matter how many features and services Cloverleaf is prepared to offer, however, Weiss balks at any suggestion that it's a "God box."

“This is not a God box!” he says. “We’re not developing everything, and we’re not solving world hunger. It integrates into your existing network, and solves enterprise-level problems. We’re integrating it with third-party solutions.”

Notes Duplessie, "It is more of a God system. Maybe they’re offended by the 'box' term?"
