Opportunities for success in the IT in the next
millenium
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ India has seen major success in IT over the past decade and a half. But most of it has been Y2K related. Our success so far has been defined by doing good to the global Y2K bug. But what lies for us beyond 2000. Where should your Company move and diversify to sustain itself and grow in the booming times to come. And how to balance and align yourself in line with the hard hitting power of Open Source against proprietary applications. On the 14th of October at the Leela, Soni Infosys Limited and The N. L. Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research will answer these questions and more with a panel of speakers. "Open Source will bring about a paradigm
shift unlike anything ever seen before in the software industry," says
Anurag Sharma, an independent IT consultant and our first speaker for the day.
"Open Source goes beyond harnessing collective development IQ over
communication media like the Internet to feed on the ego of the developers' in
the process of churning out the finest end product there is - and companies not
prepared with a strategy to incorporate this phenomenon into their
development strategy may well be caught stranded with a defunct client base and
inferior products on offer.
"New and enterprising technology as Open
Source will need a more open and enterprising approach to funding than we have
ever seen before," says Deepak Nanda, Investment Banker, Venture Capitalist
and Managing Director of Communication Equity Associates India Private Limited -
affiliated to Communications Equity Associates USA. "New and nascent but
mature is the general nature of such software and techniques, and they can only
be strengthened and supported by equally new ingenious methods of
funding",
So how do companies make revenue by paying
people to develop free software? Join us as we discuss the new business
model for software.
This is a leading industry conference to promote
high-velocity business and stimulate thinking. Issues that cross industry
lines such as customer management supply chain management, product lifecycle
management and interprocess/strategic planning will be discussed.
With its primary focus on the impact of Open
Source - both on developers and customers - and the core processes of an
eBusiness - supply chain management, customer management, product management,
interprocess planning and strategic planning - this seminar will be highlighted
by keynote speakers such as:
