TiE SSBF Monhtly Mtg / Trends in Enterprise Software
TiE - Software and Services Business Forum (SSBF) March Monthly Meeting TOPIC: Trends in Enterprise Software: Verticalization Growth in the cross-enterprise market has slowed as major vendors Oracle and PeopleSoft merge and SAP retrenches. With large enterprise-wide implementations stalling, software vendors are looking to narrower vertical niches that target specific functional areas. By providing solutions that closely align with customer needs and targeting core processes that provide immediate returns, vendors expect to grab a significant share of a vertical slice. Is this the next growth opportunity for software ? Are enough opportunities out there to sustain a startup ? Is a two billion dollar market segment, a niche ? Can smaller vendors extend and innovate around the established players ? Come find out at the next monthly meeting of the SSBF. Hear the pros and cons of this strategy first-hand from a panel consisting of: - Tom Ebling, Chairman and CEO of ProfitLogic. ProfitLogic is the leading provider of Retail Profit Optimization solutions. Their solutions enable retailers to maximize the returns on their inventory investments - Bill Sheehan, Longworth Venture Partners. Longworth Venture Partners portfolio companies include emerging players targeting key vertical segments. - Moderated by: John Raguin, CEO of Guidewire Software. Guidewire Software is a leading provider of claims solutions for property and casualty insurers.
