Faxing-as-a-Service for Small and Big Businesses
Software-as-a-Service has revolutionized the way business gets done. Faxing is critical in businesses where legacy solutions have become a hindrance to daily activities. Outsourcing to a SaaS faxing solution allows organizations to get rid of fax machines, fax servers and phone lines, while increasing productivity and decreasing costs. Two case studies will be presented on how a small and large business successfully eliminated physical fax hardware and benefited from a SaaS faxing solution.
Opening Keynote Interview: Beyond SaaS: Everything as a Service
A combination of macro forces and unprecedented industry transformation is redefining how organizations leverage software and computing power. This scene-setting keynote will outline the fundamental shift from technology-centric products to services-driven solutions, along with the big coming changes in IT roles and vendor-customer relationships.

Key topics to be discussed include:

* Understanding the business benefits
* Security and other concerns - What to worry about
* Industry directions, selecting right vendor
* Why "industry inversion" will require IT and telecom professionals to swap old technical skills for new business proficiencies
* And more

Panel 1: The State of SaaS Today
SaaS applications (and cloud computing) hold plenty of promise in the enterprise, but, as many IT leaders have found, plenty of difficulties remain. Concerns over integration, costs and security are just a few of the issues CIOs are grappling with today. Top IT leaders will discuss their own experiences with SaaS and its brethren--and explain what current and aspiring CIOs need to know.
Panel 2: Top Technology Trends: XaaS in 2010
What are the top technology trends for XaaS in 2010? Join eWEEK’s technology analysts as they examine top XaaS topics including security, scale, and application development, and debate if 2010 is the year when you can build an all-XaaS company. This fast-paced session will include projections for next year, as well as evaluation tips and techniques for those users looking to incorporate XaaS in their company’s technology plans.
Reality Check: Service-Based Computing
Private and public clouds, Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), ASPs, even good old-fashioned hosting. Each offers big potential opportunities – and hazards. What are companies really doing today – and why? What are keys to successful deployment and use? In this session, we’ll present results from a new research study by Ziff Davis Enterprise of this vibrant, dynamic market.
