Friday, September 19
9:00 am - 10:30 am
SaaS-PaaS Evangelist Workshop (1/2) (90 mins)
Salesforce.com

Have You Considered The Future of Software? Things are quickly changing...again! In recent years, new software licensing and delivery models have fundamentally changed the way organizations of all sizes are thinking about IT. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) are allowing next generation IT executives to regard software as a utility - similar to water, electricity and the telephone. This is freeing up valuable resources to focus on business innovation as opposed to simply managing infrastructure. Not unlike the "tech-tonic" shift that marked the shift from mainframes to client-server computing, SaaS is challenging the cost and complexity associated with traditional software models. Analysts forecast that by 2011, more than 25% of all new business applications will be delivered as services over the Internet.
