If you could bundle on-line services to help your business function which would be your top five or six?

Asked on May 9, 2013

There are so many on-line services out there to help a small business. However these services require you to go to multiple sites with multiple log ons. Some sites are very user friendly and others less so. if you could bundle these services and make them available on your smartphone or tablet, and make the user experience consistent, what would you bundle? You may only choose five or six.

For example, I choose: Salesforce, Vistaprint, Skype, Quickbooks, SurveyMonkey and Dropbox.

What would you choose?

I have a question. If you bundle them all it sounds like you are talking about having one log in (because you mention this as a pain point). Is there risk associated with this? I have had my passwords compromised a couple of times before and my concern would be if someone obtains access to my log in info do they now have access to all of these resources?

There are password risks when you have six different usernames and logins and password risks if you have one. Putting that risk aside, what applications would you like bundled?
