This presentation illuminates an area of an IDC

in their SOA adoption characteristics and their
perceptions of SOA in the next 2 years.
An encouraging trend which speaks of increasing
level of adoption needs to be explained in line
with innovative business initiatives rolling forward.
What are the current business initiatives that
could help extend the life of SOA projects and
their ROI for sustained benefits across IT and
business groups. Alongside, emerging trends of

The increasing need to improve business
competitiveness in today's era represents a great
opportunity for software vendors to make their mark.
However, with so many software technologies to choose
from but so few dollars that are available, vendors
must dive deeper into understanding customer requirements
and fulfilling their expectations. How or where
do software vendors focus on in order to maximize
their growth potential over the next few years?
In her presentation, Daphne will share what are
the strongest market drivers that will shape and
influence the software ecosystem in Asia/Pacific,
and enlighten with her recommendations on how software
vendors can excel in such a disruptive technology
era they are experiencing today. |

The Asia Pacific IT Services marketplace
is one which is characterized by the dynamism of
both the end user market place as well as the vendor
provisioning of services. The market is evolving
rapidly and as technology and the accompanying services
are becoming more commoditized, vendors will need
to not only accommodate the changes of their customers'
needs but also deal with emerging competitors and
substitute services.
In his presentation, Eugene will explore the challenges
and pressures affecting the end-user environment
as well as the innovation of services and their
delivery mechanisms. |
