I was able to grab some time with Rajeev Gupta , CEO of DBSync after I heard the NEWS that he and his team have released a free version of DBSync. The first question that came to mind was, WHY ? Why would a cloud based application developer offer an application free of charge?

Question 2:Do you think small businesses are hesitant to buy cloud based applications ?
Answer: Not at all. Small businesses don’t hesitate to buy Cloud Based applications. It’s actually large businesses that are more hesitant. They feel a lack of control as they feel it’s outsourced, while others have security concerns. A lot of times adopting technology like Salesforce.com is driven from the business side. Lately, we have seen it’s been adopted by the technology teams within organizations. They feel that it’s inevitable that they adopt to the cloud. DBSync provides technologies to assist the IT team by getting access to Cloud data quickly. We have also partnered with CloudCipher to address security.
