Emerging Giants: The New Titans of the SaaS World

In the spirit of Legendary Business observer Peter C. Newman's book "Titans: How the New Canadian Establishment Seized Power," in which he takes a look at globalization's effect on society and the difference between new and old money, today's PI Window on Business segment looks at the passing of the torch from the staid and often unimaginative enterprise application Giants to the dynamically adaptive and technologically innovative Software as a Service (SaaS) vendors. Featuring senior executives from four of these future “Titans” of the software world, we will delve into why they are unique, capable and well positioned to reverse the trend of failed initiatives associated with the traditional licensing model vendors. Joining me on June 25th to discuss their take on this changing of the guard are Anurag Dixit, Vice President, Marketing (Zycus), Steve Wargalla, Vice President, Foundation & Managing Director (QStrat) and Rob Bernshteyn, Chief Executive Officer (Coupa), Leonora Valvo (etouches) and Rich Becks (E2open). (NOTE: Starting next week and each week leading up to the June 25th broadcast, we will feature each of the above executives in a special post that will include their original Procurement Insights Profile Article at http://procureinsights.wordpress.com/) This is the first in our “Titans” series of broadcasts.
