Bar Camp

December 2nd 2006 - 8:30-5:00pm

This morning I offered a presentation to Peter Childs for BarCamp… an informal kitchen talk about products I had worked on that failed miserably - despite great technology! Well - now I find myself in the terrific bitHeads auditorium… so much for the kitchen!

I’ll be talking about three Nortel telecom products that had amazing potential - but unfortunately sunk in shame! Since the voice 2.0 wave is reinventing telecom - I thought this would be relevant in terms of lessons learned. It’s Deja VoIP all over again! I still have prototypes of the “products you’ve never seen” So come on down!

Case Camp

Monday November 6th 2006 - 7-9pm

The traditional view of software as a product is quickly being replaced by software as a service (or SaaS). Consumers are opting to pay monthly fees for a service rather than buying software outright and having to host and manage it. The poster child for this business model is Salesforce.com’s provider of a hosted Customer Relationship Management (CRM solution). Another example, Monster is evolving into an enterprise-class hosted HR solution. New players like Angel.com’s provider of hosted IVR are breaking down the boundaries of what was thought possible with SaaS.
