Software 2008 - Special Invite from THINKStrategies
Software 2008 Looks At Changing Competitive Landscape
A combination of macro-market forces is fundamentally transforming the software industry. Globalization, mobility and recession are forcing businesses of all sizes to seek new methods to deploy key business applications and IT management solutions to support more dispersed workers and create a greater competitive advantage.
This year's Software 2008 conference, April 29-30, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, will examine the implications of these trends on the software industry and corporate sourcing strategies. Software 2008 includes over 50 education sessions focused on five strategic forces driving the software business today: SaaS, SOA, Open Source, Enterprise 2.0, and Offshoring. It is also combined with Interop, a major technology conference, and will feature over 500 exhibitors.
I will be speaking on Wednesday, April 30 at 10:15 am about "The Convergence of Open Source and SaaS." According to a recent SoftLetter survey, 48% of SaaS start-ups are basing their solutions on Open Source. I will be discussing the implications of this convergence on software vendors and customers.
If you'd like to attend Software 2008, you can save $100 on the advanced registration fee by using the following special code for THINKstrategies' clients and SaaS Showplace visitors: CMDFSF03.

Sincerely,
Jeff Kaplan
Managing Director
