User choice will drive Web 2.0 demand and funding
David Tebbutt
The inaugural Office 2.0 Conference will take place this month in San Francisco, California. According to its organisers, the conference will "bring together vendors, investors, industry analysts and journalists. The goal for the event is to collectively explore foundations for Office 2.0."
Office 2.0 is the collection of business applications that require the user to have just a standard browser and network connection. It is the network computer reborn.
Ideally, all the application muscle is on a secure and well-managed, internet-attached server. Companies such as SalesForce.com, Google, SixApart and Socialtext are already leading the way.
The conference is an attempt to get industry movers and shakers together with journalists, analysts and users, and debate the prospects and practical issues for software as a service (SaaS).
