May 25, 2006 Register now!
Event Sponsor: Orrick
"In the last few years Software as a Service has proved to be a viable business model and also offering significant competitive advantage. On the consumer front Google is blazing a brand new trail. On the enterprise front Salesforce, WebEx are now executing their second play. Yahoo is offering services for consumers and small businesses online. There are quite few on-demand services to be rolled out in the consumer and enterprise markets in the coming years.
What are the challenges in building Software as a Service business? What are the challenges in running such a service? How do they offer the consistent quality of service? Where is the business headed?”
