Panel Discussion to Focus on the 'Silent Revolution' in Enterprise Software
BOZEMAN, Mont., Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RightNow(R) Technologies
(Nasdaq: RNOW) today announced its CEO and founder Greg Gianforte will address
the Red Herring Fall 2005 Conference, which is being held December 13-15 at
the San Francisco Grand Hyatt. Gianforte will be participating in a panel
discussion entitled "Enterprise Software: The Silent Revolution."
The session will focus on the new dynamics created in the enterprise
software market by the ascent of open source solutions, as well as the role of
on demand delivery models in the competitive landscape.
RightNow uses open source technologies including Linux, MySQL, and Apache
in its multi-tenant/multi-version hosting environment to minimize
infrastructure licensing costs -- thereby enabling greater investment in
scalability, redundancy, and innovative functionality, which all add value for
the customer.
Red Herring's Fall 2005 conference brings together leading "Small Cap"
companies, technology executives, investors, and analysts to share their
insights and predictions. The conference is an invitation-only event created
to help CEOs and senior executives get ahead -- and stay ahead -- of the
relentless wave of progress in the technology sector.
"Open source is fundamentally altering the economics of the enterprise
software market, especially when it comes to increasingly commoditized
infrastructure components such as operating systems, databases and web
servers," Gianforte said. "This phenomenon, combined with the disruptive
introduction of on demand application delivery, is enabling customers to
achieve higher returns on their technology investments and bring a new level
of accountability to their vendor engagements."
