Feb 2010 Event - Are open source apps ready for prime time enterprise use?
February 11, 2010 11:30 am - 1:00 pm at Plaza Club Lower Level Ste 35 (No Parking Validation)
(note new location due to Club renovations on lower level of Pioneer Plaza Ste. 35 for this meeting only)Panel Discussion: Are Apps such as Google Gmail ready for prime time enterprise use?
Google's various applications and platforms are funded through its massive success in advertising, and are increasingly credible. Companies and governments must expect a careful analysis before they know that Google is right for them.
By year-end 2012, Google will provide cloud-based e-mail to at least 10 million enterprise users of Google Apps Premier Edition (GAPE), the paid-for version of Google Apps. Through year-end 2012, Google's non-advertising-related enterprise business will rise to no more than 6% of its total revenue (up from 3% in 2009). By 2014, up to 33% of all new server-side Web application software will be software services and applications created and deployed within a cloud-based application platform as a service (APaaS), and executed in support of an enterprise's processes.

Burt Lum – Business Relationship Manager - HMSA
As self proclaimed digital ronin on the bitstream of life, I've spent a large portion of it in technology, specifically telecommunications, Internet infrastructure, computer networks and web applications. Two of my primary drivers are my insatiable curiosity and desire to communicate. The Internet is a perfect place to be.
