Saas conference

Hi all

I was always wondering: how good SaaS model is? Quite good I guess. Here's the idea: you have some basic platform, such as browser. Then, you use it to run all sorts of applications (Gmail anyone?). Would that be the same thing? Would this model actually show us what SaaS idea is?

I haven't really thought about it yet that much. I just know a lot of vendors are looking into this area, because it allows to keep applications local and deliver them on demand. So, each delivery would bring revenue. That's a nice model, if I understand it correctly.

So, now there's a conference on the subject. SaaS Summit 2008 is a conference for all vendors in software as a service conference field. It will feature hundreds of executives from all kind of Web 2.0 vendors and companies, and will include many sessions where you could exchange knowledge and other sorts of information. The conference will include the following topics (cited):

What has to be done and by whom to accelerate the growth of Web application service delivery?

• Platform choices: Which & why?
• Web 2.0 psyche, scary?
• Will Enterprises embrace Web2.0?
• Integration behind the enterprise fire-wall, take II
• Web services, leverage or trap?
• What is so hard about on-demand on-boarding and billing?
• If you sell on-demand, shouldn't you be buying on-demand?

You should definitely check this out if you're in SaaS field. It is organized by OpSource and they seem to be very confident vendor in this field.
