I joined relevant forums and asked around for suggestions and got on calls with large companies asking what they would need from such a product. We were showing live demos of our pre-alpha to enterprise customers and they were extremely excited even at that stage.

Also-- mods: @Vigilante @AllenCrawley -- upgrade to GOLD?
