As it matures from hype to ripe, Software as a Service (SaaS) is becoming a legitimate, important delivery option for a growing range of enterprise applications. Assessing and leveraging SaaS's ability to cut costs, increase efficiency, and boost innovation and agility requires IT organizations to have a realistic understanding of the present and future of this potentially game-changing model.

Which are real companies actually using, when, and why? What are the keys to successfully deploying and using them? Hear directly from your peers on the benefits — and hazards — of unplugging the application from the box. Don't miss this valuable reality check!

The Ziff Davis Enterprise Real SaaS Virtual Tradeshow will provide IT and business leaders with information-packed sessions and exhibitions that provide current, actionable insights and answers about this fast-emerging mode.
