After all, you are writing for an electronic medium, so we are not slaves to the word count.

The real test is whether the article compels you to keep reading - because you are forcing someone to carry out a phyiscal activity (scroll down the screen) to keep them involved. I found this a good summary and welcome the bulleted bits - they drive home the argument more effectively than long, logically perfect paragraphs.

If you are still wondering what to do and where to go with the "is SaaS right for you?" section, remember that I did offer the opporunity to extend your manifesto into a subsequent piece or two - and the "is it right for you?" discussion is an important one to get readers to think about. If you all have the time/enthusiasm, you could expand that element with short summaries from a selection of different vendors' customers about why the selected system was right for them - try to aim for a wide spread of user types and reasons for embracing SaaS. Again, aim for c600 words (give or take a hundred).

If you do decide to go this route, I would include a final summary paragraph with the heading "Is SaaS right for you?" with a slimmed down final paragraph and a trailer that the next installment of the manifesto will answer the question more fully and include explanations from users why they chose this route...

After some fast drafting/editing work and I suspect a big investment of emotion and effort, you've managed to convince me that wiki drafting tools aren't quiet as rubbish as I iniitally suggested. Well done!

This is about a 1000 words already, so we'll need to do a substantial edit and re-work.
