With all businesses moving onto the internet to give themselves exposure into new markets they need online software that gives them functionality, flexibility and standardization. This can become an issue when they don't make good strategic decisions when first implementing their online plan. An example of this was a potential client had build their whole online presence inside a CMS that was built ten years ago. Because the agency that had constructed it had not kept up with the times, new functionality that the client needed had not been developed so they started looking at other frameworks to fit their needs. But what they did not know is that they could not get access to information they had created and hence this business was locked in so the data could not be moved. This sort of thing is not an isolated case when Content Management Systems were first created everyone was in a similar position.
As technologies move quickly into toady's world the need for conferences are a necessity, they help with explaining and exploring new tools that will give business the competitive edge. Why are new tools important to me you might ask?
A while ago our business created an Open Source project. It was nothing large just a small php application that would eventually integrate with Drupal and WordPress. We planned it out and had the goal of completing it before the end of the year.
