November 25, 2005 (Press Release) --
On Demand Systems Inc., a company providing software solutions on demand, has listed itself for sale on eBay. This first-of-a-kind auction, which will provide the winning bidder the huge opportunity to tap into the exponentially growing model of subscriptions-based sale of hosted applications, will be open for bidding from 11/20 until 11/30 at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7565182744
“This is obviously not the average item for sale on eBay. Not only will somebody be buying a business, they will be buying into the huge, untapped potential of on-demand, software-as-a-service model.

The opportunities in this area can be gauged by the public listing of Salesforce.com last year, and the (reported) impending IPO of NetSuite this,” says Willis. “The subscription-based sale of hosted software solutions is disruptive and poised to revolutionize the way software is bought and used.
