Software/Storage/Platform as a Service (SaaS/PaaS)

Leveraging Business Services

Software as a Service (SaaS) has established itself as a disruptive technology and a rage worldwide with its advantage of 'pay as you use'. Springboard forecasts the Indian SaaS market to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 77% from 2006 to 2010, to reach US$165 million by 2010. India offers immense potential for growth in the SaaS marketplace due to low penetration of software applications among Indian enterprises, especially the SMB segment.

Companies are now engaging with the IT buyer like never before, because their expertise is in understanding how to orchestrate all the applications in the enterprise to deliver business value for their clients. As SaaS permeates through the Indian enterprise, and as mission-critical applications move to the services model, users, ISV's, vendors and eco-system players are looking for answers to the new challenges and opportunities that SaaS has opened up.

At the SaaS/PaaS track at BT Summit 2008, you will find all the answers on how to leverage this disruptive technology to harness your business services, develop an in-depth understand of this model, address the customisation and integration hurdle, and much more.
