SAP is running a promotion called Step Up to the Cloud that gives you a discount equivalent to six or nine months of free service when you sign a contract for Business ByDesign, the company’s on-demand enterprise resource planning software. The cloud-based business management software includes a wide variety of features, including CRM software and powerful analytics tools. Here's how it works: If you purchase a two-year subscription to SAP Business ByDesign with a minimum of 15 users, you’ll get the first three months free, plus a 15 percent credit on all subsequent invoices for remainder of the initial term.

A free service called Gogobot makes it easier to tap people in your social networks for travel recommendations. After creating a profile page on Gogobot.com , you can post questions about your trip directly to your Facebook and Twitter accounts.
