SaaS Spring 2010 Roadshow ---A Platform that Connects and Educates

The SaaS User Group is a conglomerate of industry professionals in the Southeast promoting growth in the software industry through events, education, promotion, and the fostering of strategic industry relationships.

'SaaS (News - Alert) User Group Spring 2010 Roadshow', the top destination in the Southeast for individuals to learn about SaaS, cloud-based services and service-oriented architectures is scheduled  to be held in Charlotte on June 2, 2010 and in Raleigh on June 3, 2010. As part of that event, the SaaS user group will be hosting two upcoming events..

The events will provide a platform for the attendees and provide them with an opportunity to connect with business leaders on the forefront of the SaaS market and learn about the full range security, cost, risk and integration issues related to SaaS, cloud computing and SOA.

Internationally recognized industry expert, David Linthicum, will be a keynote speaker. Linthicum is the author and co-author of 13 books on computing, including the best selling 'Enterprise Application Integration,' and his latest book 'Cloud Computing and SOA Convergence (News - Alert).

Josh Wolff, regional director for hosted solutions and founder of the SaaS User Group, was very pleased to have a strong line-up of speakers and sponsors on the board for the event, with Linthicum at the top of the roster.

Wolff was also excited at the prospect of having one of the co-founders of Jigsaw, which was recently acquired by cloud computing giant Salesforce.com (News - Alert), on the board as speaker. This was an enormous opportunity for both, developers and independent software vendors to delver entirely new applications that leverage the business contact data found in Jigsaw.

Jigsaw is incredibly progressive with their data cloud platform, said Wolff and that created an enormous opportunity for developers and independent software vendors to share ideas, and exchange information that is mutually beneficial.

Hosted Solutions, the East Coast's premier provider of IT infrastructure as a service is the presenting sponsor of the events.

Platinum sponsors of the event are Jigsaw, Ping Identity and Akamai, while Alert Logic is the gold sponsor. Silver sponsors include Brooksource, Cisco (News - Alert), Clayton Parsons, CNP Technologies, Frontier Capital, Kognitio, Time Warner Cable, XO Communications.

WRAL's Local Tech Wire is the media sponsor for the event, and  The American Diabetes Association is the charity partner.

Prospective customers of SaaS solutions, technical and non-technical personnel, application services providers, infrastructure providers, technology providers, and associated support providers will form the audience.

The event will be a great networking opportunity and an excellent opportunity to showcase the different offerings within the SaaS community. Registration for either event is available at this Web site.

Founded in 2007,. The SaaS user group was created as an educational endeavor to provide a forum for business leaders involved in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, and integration of software as a service products, as well as related services that are sold through on-demand channels.
