From a hosted
RSS solution for media companies to an appliance that tracks data logs for regulatory compliance, IT managers can expect a range of new technologies and products aimed at the enterprise to be introduced this week at the Demo conference in Phoenix.
"The market is emerging from a long nap. While some were sleeping, others were working to establish a market position, and now they are ready to claim what they have earned. … I suspect we're in for a velocity change, spurred on by Web 2.0," said Chris Shipley, executive producer of the Demo conference, in a statement.
Attendees can expect products designed to give individuals more control over the ways in which they access, manage and use content. NewsGator Technologies, for example, will launch NewsGator Hosted Solution. Aimed at content providers, NewsGator Hosted Solution is a service that allows companies to put an RSS aggregator onto their Web sites and provide customized content from all over the Web to their users. Publishers who use the RSS aggregation service also have the option of allowing users to personalize the feeds they look at.
"The world has changed a lot in the last few years, and you no longer have to go to the original content originator to get content. RSS has made that process so much easier," said Todd Berkowitz, director of product marketing at NewsGator. "Companies like newspapers want to take their own content and mix it with content across the blogosphere so that their users get the mix of news they want."
Products being launched at the semiannual conference will focus on optimizing networks and on fraud prevention applications that battle phishing, adware and spyware. Technologies that enable users to generate their own content, and that improve the browsing and searching experiences, will also be highlighted at the show.
Sixty-nine companies will debut their products at Demo over the three-day conference in hopes of becoming the next big thing. In the past, the conference has served as the launch pad for companies such as Palm, Tivo, Salesforce.com and ETrade. This year, 65 of the demonstrators are early-stage companies introducing their first or second products.
