Session 403: Tues, 4:00 PM – 5:15 PM
Location: Cira A
Speaker: Randy Johnston
There is a major change underway in how businesses acquire and utilize technology. Some believe it will turn out to be as important as the advent of personal computers. This change is the movement away from running applications in-house on a company’s computers to using hosted services. At first it appears to be only a physical change in which the software is hosted. However, the benefits are turning out to be huge. Lower costs, improved reliability, very significantly improved functionality, ease of access, and improved security are some of these benefits. Attend this session to find out how SaaS can make you more efficient, more effective, and more profitable.
