The Software as a Service (SaaS) business model is impacting the software industry and how your customers acquire business functionality and solutions.  With the SaaS model, you can reduce up-front support costs because you no longer need to support multiple platforms and versions.  This rapidly emerging delivery model can assist your company in entering new markets.

To help you become a successful player in this fast growing business opportunity and launch and run a future-oriented SaaS business instead of, or in addition to, your existing business model, IBM offers leading-edge hardware, software, and infrastructure technologies.  Regardless of your state of adoption, IBM can help you enable, deliver, and market your SaaS solutions.  Hear how from IBM's Dave Mitchell, Program Director, Software as a Service.

Leading local companies have made the move to SaaS already.  Listen as top executives from Iron Mountain, TimeTrade, Emptoris and Kadient share their experiences on the transition.  THINKStrategies Managing Director, Jeff Kaplan, will facilitate the discussion. 

Not sure your company has the capital needed to invest in the move?  Fear not, Bill Rurode, Executive VP from SaaS Capital will show you how to manage cash and revenue during the transition period.
