It’s the small business that drives the growth of our economy and with millions of businesses up for grabs, how will Web 2.0 play out for this marketplace? Who has what it takes to succeed? What is it going to take? Over the past few months, Microsoft has released Windows Live, Google has Google Docs and Spreadsheets as well as Google Apps for Your Domain, and Yahoo! Web Services has been introduced. What are Microsoft and Google really up to and what opportunities still exist? Who will win the battle for Web 2.0 and the small and mid-size business marketplace? Are we ready for a major software revolution or is this all hype? The panelists will give real answers about the future of SMB Applications and who really owns the electronic solutions available to SMBs today.
