I bumped into a couple of the folks from iPayroll last week. iPayroll [Diversity coverage here] is a New Zealand based SaaS payroll service.
There has been a fair amount of chatter around the blogosphere around the role of design vs functionality for software, especially SaaS software - iPayroll has come in for a reasonable amount of criticism for it’s look - in this interview we briefly touch on the design issue but focus primarily on the user-centric/solution-centric discussion.
The video is embedded below, apologies for the sound quality of lack thereof. Feel free to subscribe to Divrsity Blog’s Youtube channel for further updates.

I love these interviews…
Keep up the good work Ben!
It would have been great if I’d tracked down a microphone for this one to eliminate the background noise. Lesson for the next interview… perhaps with the CEO of a SaaS project management tool??
All in good time Ben - All in good time!
