Joint Session: SaaS and Savvy: I could have had an SLA!

More and more, it’s possible to avoid redundant investment in soon outgrown hardware and software in favor of best-in-class “as a service” solutions. Not only do on demand providers take you out of the IT business, they commit to levels of service it would be hard to achieve on your own. Our panelists explore the move to hosted business solutions and how they can benefit your business, your community and the planet.

Track sessions

Rob Lamb, Clickability

Customer Success Director Rob Lamb introduces today’s track sessions.

 

 

1:15pm - 2:00pm

Track One: Enterprise Marketing

Lead Scoring Based on Digital Body Language – David Lewis, President, DemandGen

The Internet has forever changed the relationship between business buyer and seller. Today, prospects are driving the buying cycles. They are not relying on a vendor’s sales team for information. They are going to the Web to educate themselves and validate vendor offerings. They are exhibiting a new digital body language.

 

Marketers who can read a buyer’s digital body language can use this intelligence to adapt their marketing and sales processes to their advantage. Translating this into actionable information makes sales teams significantly more effective. Their sales cycles are shorter and they establish stronger relationships with the buyer.

 

Track Two: Publishing

Content is Dead. Long Live Context

The days of “content is king” are passing. Today’s most successful publishers understand that it’s a combination of content and context that builds user loyalty and delivers value to advertisers. See how Clickability analytics and partner technologies help you realize the most revenue from your content assets.

 

Panelists:

 

 

2:00pm - 2:45pm

Track One: Enterprise Marketing

Search Engine Marketing: The Art+Science of Search to Sale

Since 80% of internet traffic begins at a search engine, implementing SEO Best Practices on your website should not be far from your mind. Paid Search advertising (also known as PPC) is equally as important, as optimal results are typically achieved by combing both SEO and Paid Search advertising.

 

Join Zuora’s Tien Tzuo and Geary Interactive’s Jim Macove to learn about the latest trends in Search Engine Marketing and how to leverage the power of a unified partner ecosystem to create traffic-driving programs that efficiently optimize audience targeting to yield increased ad revenue and transaction event conversions.

Track Two: Publishing

SaaS is Green: Easy on the Budget, Easy on the Planet

Companies are coming face to face with the hidden costs of digital technology—a big carbon footprint and huge draws on the grid. Inherently “green,” SaaS dramatically reduces the cost and the waste involved in underutilized hardware installations and installed software solutions. This smart, lively panel presents a multi-faceted view of green media, green thinking, and the greening of the Web.

Roadmapping the Agile Enterprise: A New Paradigm

Jeff Freund, CTO, Clickability

The traditional “waterfall” development model works just fine with a roadmap that’s carved on stone tablets and describes a once-every-three-year product release cycle. This is not how Software as a Service works. Jeff Freund presents in detail how the Clickability development team operates—daily scrums, month-long projects, the continuous release of platform features and tweaks—and how user requirements help us write our roadmap on the fly.
