  • Moving to SaaS - How to manage the process
  • Analyzing the costs and risks of transitioning
  • Determining whether your UI is a good fit for SaaS
  • The changing demographics you need to face when you move to SaaS

Register now for this fast paced webinar covering real life company challenges “Four degrees of separation from SaaS”

Some of the highlights from real case studies include:

  • How do you manage the process of transitioning to SaaS without driving your company’s collective brain insane? How one company did?
  • If you decided to build your new system from scratch, you’re the main technology provider. Are you up to the task? If you outsource you are no longer totally in control. Where are the main risks?
  • Facing the fact that you’re wrong when you think your UI is a thing of beauty and a great fit to SaaS. How did one of your peers deal with this ugly reality?
  • Study the experience of the on premise firm that built a SaaS version of their product, almost by accident brought it to market, and signed up a thousand new customers in 90 days? Can you do better?

Sign up early for “Four degrees of separation from SaaS” April 17, 1:00PM ET.

Developers who have used FoxPro in the past are finding that they love Servoy. Microsoft has announced they will no longer be revving this popular 4GL tool; and will stop support for the product entirely in 2015. As a result, many FoxPro users are looking for the “next step”. Servoy Next Generation Platform is a great alternative.

Be sure to stop by the Servoy booth and attend Ken Levy’s special demo-centric vendor session.

The Servoy Solution Model feature set is an extremely powerful tool-set. With this model, you can create virtually any Servoy object at run-time. Many Servoy developers see the power but are afraid to utilize this feature in their solutions.

In this webinar we will explain the fundamentals and show you some simple and advanced samples, such as:
- Creating a runtime form based on dynamic content from a database
- Creating a dynamic hierarchical menu
- Runtime creation of a foundset bound to an existing form (runtime query, dataset, datasource and foundset creation)
- Case study: Planner Module based on the Solution Model
