• The Fastest Path to SaaS: Force.com ISV Partner Program Overview

  Jesse Lorenz Jun 23, 2009

  Last week I mentioned that every Monday at 10:00 am Pacific Time, we host an hour-long webinar entitled The Fastest Path to SaaS. If you’re interested in learning more about building and selling SaaS applications, this webinar series is for you. The webinars alternate every other Monday between discussing business topics and technical topics, and this Monday’s webinar, on June 29th, will be business-oriented.

  During the webinar, we will discuss the SaaS market opportunity for ISVs and entrepreneurs, the fastest path to building SaaS applications, as well as an overview of the Force.com partner program. (As a sneak preview of the webinar, Galorath, an industry expert, has determined that building applications on Force.com is 5x faster and as much as 40% less expensive than on-premise Java or .Net development!) Sign up now to learn more about why Force.com is the The Fastest Path to SaaS.
