Who Need to Succeed in SaaS

 

From 1999-2001 what was then called the ASP market collapsed, bringing an abrupt halt to the growth of what was seen as a new and vibrant market in the software industry. But times have changed and the ASP market, now called Software as a Service (SaaS)is back with a vengeance. New markets and opportunities await those publishers astute enough to make the move now to the SaaS model. The seminar agendas covers:

  • Critical data on the growth of SaaS, pricing, growth by market segments, and sector penetration information

  • Successful SaaS business and pricing models

  • Professional services and SaaS

  • Case studies on successful and unsuccessful SaaS implementations

  • Understanding and assuaging privacy and security concerns when dealing in markets where privacy and information security are paramount

  • The role of channels in a SaaS sales world

  • Compensating your sales force in a SaaS milieu

  • Learning the importance of SLA and escrow issues and concerns when selling SaaS

  • Transitioning from a licensed to a SaaS business model

  • Understanding when and whether to build your SaaS infrastructure or rent it

  • Tips and techniques for demonstrating, discussing, and publicizing SaaS products

  • Valuable insights into the role of professional services in a SaaS sales environment

  • And much, much more!
