OpSource™, the SaaS delivery experts, today announced the keynote speakers and panelists for its third annual SaaS Summit. Jim Steele, Chief Customer Officer and President of International Operations, salesforce.com; Greg Urquhart, Microsoft’s General Manager for its US independent software vendor and systems integrator partner channel; and Josh James, CEO of Omniture, will keynote. The SaaS Summit is dedicated to helping software-as-a-service (SaaS), on-demand and Web companies maximize their success in the world of Web software. This year’s event will focus on how successful companies must not only think like Web companies, but also make the right platform choices and embrace Web services to build out and extend their offerings.
Jeffrey Kaplan, managing director of THINKstrategies, a SaaS consulting firm that examines the business implications of IT service trends, stated, “OpSource’s SaaS Summit is a key industry event for established and startup companies seeking to successfully compete in the SaaS, Web and on-demand services market. I have attended and spoken at each of the past Summits because it is a great event to find practical advice and trade best practices with executives in the on-demand industry.
