There are many business processes where the secure sharing of information across enterprises is required. Examples of these processes include strategic transactions, such as acquiring or divesting an organization, setting up sites for pharmaceutics clinical trials, managing contractor bids to develop an oil exploration project, and syndicating debt between multiple parties across the globe.

I was recently invited by Sasa Zorovic, Managing Director and Senior Software Analyst at Janney Montgomery Scott to attend their "Software and Service" conference in New York and participated on a panel titled "Best Practices in SaaS." Other panel participants included the CEOs of other SaaS or SaaS investment companies including Advent Software, Internet Capital Group and Management Dynamics. It was really energizing to be in the company of CEOs that share the same passion, energy and commitment to bring real and immediate value to customers through a SaaS-based software and delivery model!
