Interop is here, and based on the preparatory discussions that I’ve had with fellow panelists on the ‘Honeymoon and Divorce: Changing SaaS Providers‘ session, I am excited about the topics we will be covering and the insight that Jerry Smith (Symphony Services), Rick Nucci (Boomi), and R “Ray” Wang (Forrester) will be bringing to the table. I will be approaching the topic of migrating both data and SaaS code / logic from PaaS providers with a service-oriented mindset, giving real world examples of migrating applications from the now-defunct Coghead platform to the Force.com platform by salesforce.com. Delivered Innovation migrated both customer apps and our own strategic marketing suite of applications to Force.com over a period of several months with great success. I am confident that the panel will provide a great deal of value to attendees, as the topic of SaaS / PaaS “lock-in” is becoming more relevant with the proliferation of cloud computing services.
Please stop by if you are attending Interop. We’re scheduled to present at 4:00PM on Tuesday, May 19 in “Breakers L” at the Mandalay Bay conference center. I will also be attending CloudCamp this evening, let’s talk about ‘The Cloud’ over beers.
