Speaker: Marc O'Brian, CEO and President, Projity Incorporated

Presentation Overview

We have all been hearing about the new paradigm in software delivery "On-Demand". This is also referred to as Software as a Service or SaaS. IBM is currently deploying over $1 Billion towards on-demand software. Salesforce.com has over 300,000 subscribers. Analysts forecast over 45% year-to-year growth in the sector. What does this mean for the project management market? Will on-demand software be a factor in the project management market? Marc O'Brien, CEO of Projity Inc. will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of on-demand software and the relevance for project managers. He will share some insight into the marketplace and discuss the impact on project teams. Projity is releasing "Project-ON-Demand" January 30th so the topic will be timely.
