Abstract

The Web is the platform, but simple things like copy-and-paste, single sign-on, or integrated billing are nowhere near in sight. In order to address these requirements, new platforms such as Salesforce.com AppExchange, WebEx Connect, and OpenSAM are emerging. This session will provide an attempt at defining the concept for a Web platform, and outline the opportunities that exist for participants in these new ecosystems.
