QuickArrow COO to Present Thursday at Softletter’s Marketing and Selling SaaS Seminar, 2007
Presentation will focus on maximizing Professional Services revenue in a SaaS world
Austin, TX, October 04, 2007 --(PR.com)-- QuickArrow Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Kevin Bury will be a featured speaker at Softletter’s Marketing and Selling SaaS Seminar, at the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara. The seminar will feature some of the software industry’s leading experts on the SaaS business model and is aimed at preparing companies to profit and grow in the rapidly expanding SaaS market.
Bury will discuss the importance of establishing a Professional Services charter and will present a case study of their own PS group, as well as those of 2 of their SaaS clients, salesforce.com and Eloqua. Specifically, he will review best practices, lessons learned, benchmarks, and results for each organization based on their specific charter and business model. He will also reveal some of the macro-economic and technology trends that differentiate SaaS Professional Services from more traditional Services models.
Bury commented, “SaaS is more than just a new software delivery model. It’s a full-scale technology paradigm shift with far-reaching implications - including a fundamental change in how PSOs are managed and what it will take to be successful. Softletter has put together a phenomenal event for companies who need to better understand these trends to achieve SaaS success, and we are excited to be a part of this year’s seminar.”
Rick Chapman, Softletter’s Managing Editor and Publisher added, “Software and SaaS companies look to Softletter for proven strategies to compete in today's market. The 2007 Softletter SaaS survey reported that 62% of SaaS firms have a Professional Services group and of this group, 56% plan to expand their Professional Services offerings. QuickArrow has been a SaaS leader for over 9 years now, and we're thrilled to have Kevin share his insight with our audience.”
