T-SIG
WEB SERVICES - HYPE OR REALITY?
MARCH 26, 2002
The "T-SIG" conducts educational forums that provide real-world perspectives and experiences related to new software technologies specifically for executives who make software development strategic decisions. The goal is to help understand what really works and how it can be applied to real world problems, taking a critical look at new technologies, separating hype from reality, and providing real-world practical advice that is difficult to find anywhere else.

ROUNDTABLE

THE DATE - APRIL 30, 2002
Frank Perna
CEO of MSC.Software Corporation
Software Industry Awards 2002 - CEO Of The Year Award Recipient
The Software Executive Roundtable is a moderated forum where executives of Southern California software companies meet and discuss in an open and collaborative environment key issues that directly affect the success of their companies. The Roundtable shuns panels, talking heads and sales pitches; it is a solid 90 minutes of peer-to-peer information exchange and debate. The moderator for each session is a well-known and knowledgeable pundit, investor or luminary in Southern California's software industry.
While
the Roundtable is designed for the sole benefit of executives of software
companies, service providers may attend if they are joined by a guest
who is a software company executive. Non-members are welcome to attend,
one-time at the non-member rate.
Attention: Software Developers…Your participation is needed!

What You Do NOW, Will Echo in Eternity
By, SCSC Member, Jeff Ballard, President, Satellite Marketing
Over the last few
years everyone has been talking about the 'New Economy'. It seems like
every month we are facing yet another "New" angle to the economic
picture. Well, forget that. I am here to tell you that we are in the 'NOW
Economy'. The focus is on what we are doing right NOW. Investors want
returns NOW. Analysts want to see you delivering on your strategy NOW.
And the customers want real solutions NOW.
For marketing, the time to act definitely is NOW. Don't just sit there
waiting to see if the market rebound is real or not. Bolster your demand
generation programs. Build your sales pipeline. Drive prospects through
the process of becoming customers. Grow your revenues. Don't just do it,
do it NOW. Because, to spin a popular movie line, "What you do NOW,
will echo in eternity." More
