Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

iHosted Solutions Conference

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 2000

Ambit International today announced a new landmark event for business executives, IT managers, and professionals considering the move to outsourced business solutions. The iHosted Solutions Conference will be two days of intense, practical, in-depth learning for decision-makers in all types of enterprises.

Attendees at iHosted Solutions will find a roster of conference sessions unlike that available anywhere else, all focused on how to make decisions that strengthen departmental capabilities, support business practices enterprise-wide, and improve the bottom-line of the department or organization.

Topic areas for in-depth presentations will include Comparing Legacy & Outsource Options, Migration & Integration of Applications, plus department-specific subjects such as Solutions for the HR manager and e-Procurement Outsourcing Strategies.

The speaker lineup for these conference tracks will feature leading proponents of these new technologies as well as high-level executives and managers from well known large to midmarket enterprises giving actual case-histories from the field.

The sessions will be highlighted by focused, content-rich presentations with the intent to give attendees usable, cutting-edge, how-to knowledge. In addition, there will be cross-discipline keynote addresses, as well as a number of social and hospitality functions, which offer attendees the opportunity to network and compare notes.

The conference will also feature exhibits by the leading vendors of products and services for engaging outsourced applications and services. From management software tools to hardware, peripherals and networks, attendees will see it all on the floor of the iHosted Solutions exhibit hall.

Additionally, the First iHosted Solutions Conference will be held concurrent with and adjacent to the 6th InternetASP Forum and iApps Develop University, at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. The Civic Auditorium -- a landmark in its own right in downtown San Francisco -- offers ample room for the exhibition and all conference functions, and is within easy walking distance of convention hotels and the Moscone Center.
