The software industry seems to be confronting large-scale challenges as new models, including on-demand software-as-a-service (SaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS), are having an increasingly disruptive impact on the traditional, licensed software models.
Use of SaaS is gaining ground with business process and applications professionals to outsource their key processes. According to Gartner, 25% of all software will be deployed with the SaaS model by 2011. Deutsche Bank predicts 50% by 2013.
Does the SaaS model spell the end for the traditional perpetual license model in software? If so, will the established software vendors weather the transition? What are the implications for software innovation, the VC community and the entrepreneurs? Will the end customers have more bargaining power over the vendors or less going forward? What can the IT organization expect in quality and service of software?
Join Marc Benioff, founder, chairman & CEO of salesforce.com, the world's leading independent SaaS provider, and Hasso Plattner, co-founder, ex-CEO and chairman of SAP, the world's largest business software company, as they face off on the future of enterprise software. Moderated by Quentin Hardy of Forbes.
