The Internship

As you know, I started an internship almost two weeks ago.
I'm doing pretty well so far.

I'm basically a sales stuff, but I have a lot of other tasks at the same time.
Actually, I cannot write down all the things that I'm doing because I have so many tasks and projects.

I'm working for a company selling a groupware which enables companies to work efficiently.
People use a groupware for making a schedule, putting files and reports, showing files to other employees, and other purposes.
Our product is SaaS type. Have you heard this before?
Generally, there are two types in groupware.
Briefly, that is a groupware needs server or not.
A package type needs a server in their company, so it costs a lot.
But, ours don't needs a server in company at all. All information are sent on the internet, not intranet.
So, we own servers and provide space for each company. Customers can use it on the internet without paying for servers in their companies.
That is SaaS type.
Did you understand?

However, the major trend is still using a package type though it costs a lot.
Of course, there seem to be problems in security in SaaS type.
But, I can say it's less dangerous to trust a company which specialize in internet business and put them in its strage than to keep all information in their companies without having a technical stuff.
So, I believe many companies are choosing a very inefficient way.


By the way, about my work.
As I said, I'm doing pretty well so far.
Other workers trust my ability and give me a lot of projects.
Honestly, I don't know if it is good or not... haha because I have to work a lot...
Also, I'm teaching other interns who have worked longer than me. I join the ordition process for choosing new interns with a leader of our project from next time... It's very weird that an internship, I, choose new intern.


Anyway, I drunk with my boss the last night and came back my home this morning.
Now, I'm relaxing in my home.
I'm going to spend time with watching movies from now.
