Looking for a Service Provider: What You Don't Want to Overlook

10 May 2006
8:00 - 8:50

Somerset Room

Presenter: Jeffrey M. Kaplan, Senior Consultant, Cutter Consortium

One of the most significant trends in the IT industry is the transformation of the software business model from packaged products to subscription services. This movement is being fueled by a combination of customer frustration with traditional software applications and the emergence of new Web-based software development mechanisms that make it possible to deliver robust software functionality via the Internet. The trend is not only changing the way many organizations leverage software applications, it is also fundamentally disrupting the way the software industry is structured. Join Cutter Senior Consultant Jeff Kaplan in a discussion about why or why not, and when, your organization should take advantage of software-as-a-service (SaaS).
