CEN Northern CA in partnership with Cornell Silicon Valley (CSV) presents: 10 Trends in Enterprise Software in 10 Minutes
The world has changed right? Depending on your vantage point, this is a time when companies may choose conservative, time-tested enterprise software solutions – or, they may seek out new models which offer ease of operation, and shave installation and operating costs. Will the giants maintain their hold? Will new entrants shake things up? At this event we'll take a look.
Our event will work like this: 1) Representatives of ten companies, from a mix of start-up through tech titan, will each present a sixty second pitch to our panel experts on why their enterprise software model has the wind behind its sails. 2) When they're finished, our rock star panel of experienced enterprise software executives will debate the trends. They'll bring their expertise, opinions and biases gained at some of the most successful companies in the valley.
