"Software as a Service" vs. "Software-plus-Services"
June 4, 2008, 6:30 PM

Software as a Service (SaaS) models fueled by Web 2.0 and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) promise to eliminate desktop software and obsolete the businesses, professionals, and development processes that have grown up around this “old-school” form of IT. Microsoft is putting a lot of wood behind a “Software-plus-Services” approach which is a blended world of desktop software and services. Which approach do you think will succeed? At this BOF we discuss the pros and cons of each approach and the types of applications that are best suited for each approach.

Whether your company's future depends on the success of your next software product, or you're trying to protect your licensing and activation scheme, or you're hoping to thwart competitors from seeing your secrets, protecting your .NET code is a real problem. In a world where binary == source, you should take some simple active steps to protect your work. In this BOF, the group will share its experiences with .NET reverse engineering and code protection. We explore ways to harden our .NET Framework-based applications and the steps we can take to make our applications more resistant to reverse engineering, cracking, and tampering.

Sebastian Holst, SVP, Sales and Marketing

Protect, Analyze, and Monetize Microsoft .NET Framework Based Application Development Investments
June 5, 2008 12:00 - 12:45 PM

Today’s development environment is undergoing tremendous change driven in large part by an architectural revolution led by the proliferation of software services and distributed computing infrastructures; an increasingly competitive economic climate that challenges conventional IT funding and operational practices; and an ongoing obligation to improve IT governance, risk, and compliance management. This session demonstrates how, leveraging the .NET Framework, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, and software-plus-service technologies, application development organizations can effectively address the broad security and business productivity requirements of end-user organizations while minimizing development costs and shortening development cycles.
