AND SO DID THE DELEGATES

The eminent speakers of the conference brought the insights on how to align technology with business needs. The summit was very well organized in terms of keynote sessions, track based sessions and technology intensive workshops. The Business Technology Expo had different stalls like SalesForce.com, mPower etc. They definitely provided the opportunity for networking, to understand about the products/offerings.

MINISTER SPEAK

After pioneering information technology (IT) and biotechnology in the country, the Karnataka government is embarking on taking the leadership role in sensitizing its proud IT workforce on technologies that mean business. Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit is the single most inspirational, informative and valuable event of the year for those who recognise that the overall enterprise network benefits when business technologies are made integral to the overall value equation.

Shri. Anand Asnotikar Vasant Hon'ble Minister for Science & Technology, Govt. of Karnataka

Business Technology Summit

AN OVERWHELMING SUCCESS

"We were here some twenty years ago, and many of you here, I am sure, structured your careers on the last paradigm shift around the introduction of Personal Computing and the whole shift in technology and working practice that this introduced. It was this shift in, well just about every aspect of computing and its use, which led to the term Information Technology, or IT, being coined in the early nineties to cover this entirely different environment. And, we are here now, at the cusp of another new era of Business Technology, defined by workhorse, robust, and enterprise technologies such as Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Virtualization, Cloud Computing, and Enterprise Content Management (ECM). For each one of you here, Saltmarch Media's inaugural summit for the Business Technology ecosystem will usher in a new era of intense product development, innovational excellence, and the opportunity to be part of a stock that will help India move up the IT value chain," thundered Shri. Anand Vasant Asnotikar, Hon'ble Minister for Science & Technology, Government of Karnataka, at the opening address of Saltmarch Media's first and annual independent summit for Business Technologies.

With the world's topmost vendor-agnostic speakers, industry stalwarts, and over 750 unique and talented delegates across Bangalore and Mumbai in attendance, Business Technology Summit provided expert recommendations, offered unique perspectives, engaged in market trendscoping, and delivered strategic mandates that will positively impact the attendees and their businesses. Centered around the theme "Riding the Workhorse IT Hockey Stick", BT Summit 2008 focused on key areas such as Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) & Web Services, Software as a Service (SaaS), Virtualization, Cloud Computing, and Enterprise Content Management (ECM), all of which are seeing pronounced inflection points in their evolution.

BT Summit 2008 was endorsed by the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) and supported by some of the world's largest IT companies including IBM, Microsoft, Cisco-Webex, Satyam, Progress Software, AppPoint, Intalio, SDL Tridion, AMT, Salesforce.com, and Taroby, among others.
