NTRglobal Joins SaaS Leaders at SIIA On Demand Europe 2008

Amsterdam, The Netherlands - June 11, 2008 – The world’s top business and technology influencers gathered at SIIA On Demand Europe 2008 in Amsterdam, June 9-11 to discuss the current and emerging trends of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), the challenges and requirements for secure on-demand deployment models and how leading global technology companies are addressing those challenges.

William S. McNee, president and CEO of Saugatuck Technology, Inc., a strategy consulting, subscription research and advisory firm, moderated the discussion on security and data management with distinguished SaaS leaders at global firms: Lluis Font, CEO NTRglobal; Paul Lightfoot, director of managed services, The Bunker; Chris Rolison CEO Comply Serve Ltd; and Milan Thanawala, director platform products, Oracle Corporation.

The discussion focused on how information and data associated with SaaS applications bring forth the challenges of data management and implications for the C-suite and IT customer and the application vendor to manage to compliance.

The global enterprise is grappling with the complexity of meeting compliance on a country-by-country basis with on-demand applications and infrastructure. According to NTRglobal’s CEO, Lluis Font: “Today’s stricter regulatory environments are driving the market for solutions that help IT manage risk, satisfy compliance mandates and meet government initiatives.”

Font also emphasized the need for enterprise customers to carefully analyze the right model of on-demand—SaaS or a hybrid of Self Hosted on a private network behind a firewall-- for each line of business in each of the regions. “Where and how data is stored - on-premise or SaaS hosted by the service provider - should be a flexible option given to the customer to best meet their in-country and use-case needs,” added Font. “Enterprise-grade, cost-effective on-demand solutions, such as NTRsupport remote support and NTRadmin WAN management solutions from NTRglobal, offer the robust security, integrity, safety and portability our more than 12,000 global customers rely on with delivery models that meet their continually changing legal and country rules for data management and privacy. We offer global infrastructure and local presence.”

Chris Rolison, Comply Serve’s CEO added, “The issue of data security and legislation that potentially impacts the ability of SaaS vendors to serve data across international borders is a key topic of concern for many potential users. Comply Serve; for example, enables the geographically dispersed teams of design companies to deliver construction projects across the globe. Access to data from across international regions is vital to the success of our approach. The SIIA organization is leading the way in providing a forum to discuss these issues and I am pleased to be involved in the On Demand 2008 panel.”
