    (Christian Dawson - ServInt)

    Integrating your products to take your company to the next level

    Most hosting companies nowadays make use of a control panel such as cPanel, Parallels, DirectAdmin or ISP System. Over the last years I've been responsible for integrating the webhost focused SpamExperts email security solutions with these and other control panels. This has provided a very interesting insight in the quality, internal build up, integration difficulties, and support of the various control panel systems. During this case study the different control panels are technically compared from an integration point of view. Furthermore it will provide a useful insight on how to customize your hosting business to offer unique products (by integrating these yourself) in order to stay ahead of competition.

    One Cloud Isn’t Enough: Competing Against Amazon in a Commoditizing Cloud Market

    One Cloud Isn’t Enough: Competing Against Amazon in a Commoditizing Cloud Market

    Don't you just hate commoditization? Cloud hosting used to be cool. Now it's pretty much standard, even in the mass market. We saw it happen with shared hosting and VPS: now it's your cloud's turn. And the real challenge is still to come: how to survive, compete and profit in a market that is increasingly dominated by Amazon Web Sergvices. That's why the future is federated. Competing in the cloud market is as much about the world outside your DC as the world inside it. It's how you connect with other clouds and other providers to give your customers a real Amazon alternative - one that is more global, more flexible, more interoperable and more cost-effective. This session will explore the challenges facing the maturing cloud hosting market, and show how the federated model will be critical to the success and survival of the mass-market hosting industry.

    Creating a World-Class Inside Sales Organization

    Selling hosting solutions can be a challenge. Once you commit to an inside sales model, you will need to create job descriptions, salary and comping models then interview and hire the best talent, just to get started. Once that is done, and you have your new shiny sales team in the office ready to go, the real work begins. This session will look at inside sales rep comp expectations from a study of several hosting companies conducted last year. Jim will discuss interview styles and methods to insulate companies from making the wrong hire. Then, he will transition to a discussion of creating a winning sales environment – it all starts with setting expectations.

    Energize and Incentivize Your Employee Brand Ambassadors

    2011 proved that even the smallest companies can have a giant voice. Whether your firm has one or 3,000 employees, there are simple ways you can active your employees to engage online and produce content. The days of posting spammy articles and having a hard-sell approach are over. Many hosters lost significant traffic and SEO rankings in 2011. The future is socially influenced search results, and your team must be active, or your message and website won’t be found. In this session, William Toll will share his methods for activating and incentivizing employees, whether they are in marketing, operations, support, or beyond, to help drive traffic, visibility and ultimately sales in 2012 and beyond.

    Securing Shared Servers Against Attack

    Securing Shared Servers Against Attack

It will cover privilege escalations, information disclosure, buffer overflows, race conditions, DoS attacks, SQL injections, and website defacements.

    Organizational Diversity and the Bottom Line: The Business Case for Diversity

    Organizational Diversity and the Bottom Line: The Business Case for Diversity

    Diversity and difference have already become major sources of sustained competitive advantage. Companies seek to promote the diversity of visions and attitudes in order to secure themselves from failures and to make sure that their brand and reputation are associated with inclusiveness and social responsibility. More often than not, companies limit their vision of diversity to ethnic and racial acceptance, while diversity usually implies the need for companies to accept the need for promoting gender diversity and the diversity of sexual orientation and attitudes in the workplace.

    Whether diversity becomes the driver of increased organizational performance depends on how well companies can manage their diverse workforce and promote their inclusiveness and self-realization; that, however, does not mean that equity and equality are the best solutions to the existing diversity issues. When it comes to gender and sexual orientation, the true vision of diversity begins with accepting the difference and evaluating gender forces that govern workplace operations. I will address sexual orientation and gender controversies by assessing how gendered the workplace is, by promoting alternative values perspectives, and by integrating the notions of commitment and competence with the basic principles of family-friendly working environments. I will also address how to take family-work balance as the basic prerequisite for turning it into the sources of improved performance at all levels of the organizational structure.

    The Next Evolution in Customer Care - Service Cloud

    The Next Evolution in Customer Care - Service Cloud

    Where do most customers go for service today? The telephone, once everyone's favorite way to access customer support has become a jumbled mess of touch-tone navigation and poorly trained, outsourced agents. It's no wonder customers have turned their backs. Today, real wisdom is found in the cloud. Web communities, Facebook, Twitter, Forums, Blogs, Google. The cloud is where customers are turning for assistance. In this session Elya McCleave will explore the "service cloud," answering the questions on why every hosting company needs to step up and how to take full advantage of service delivery through the cloud

    The Pitch Session

    The Pitch Session

    Nobody’s here to sit through an hour-long sales pitch, but learning about new products and technologies that can benefit your business is one of the reasons you come to HostingCon. In order to satisfy both of these feelings, we’ve rounded up all of the pitches and put them into one place, for ease of access. In one 45-minute session, eight vendors will each deliver a five-minute pitch for a piece of hardware or software designed to benefit your hosting business. If you’re not interested, they’ll be gone in a minute. If you want an overview of new technology designed for hosting providers, this is the place to be.

    Competing in a Rapidly Consolidating Hosting Industry - Small is Beautiful

    Competing in a Rapidly Consolidating Hosting Industry - Small is Beautiful

    The hosting industry is consolidating with incredible speed, and the service our industry provides is becoming commoditized just as quickly. How can small-to-medium-sized hosts thrive and prosper in a market where huge cloud infrastructure players threaten to crush us on price? The answer is to find your niche by playing to our historic strength in providing market-specific, high-touch service. This can mean many things, from creating custom-tailored hosting solutions for industry vertical VARs and integrators, to serving as a thought leader and advocate on social and regulatory issues that affect your customers, to forming strategic partnerships with vendors seeking to launch game-changing technologies. At this eye-opening session, ServInt COO Christian Dawson will share real-world, actionable tips and suggestions for keeping your business viable in a rapidly changing – and potentially threatening – industry landscape.

    How to deliver products that customers will pay for

    How to deliver products that customers will pay for

    When technology projects fail, it’s usually not because they fail to deliver interesting technologies, but because they fail to deliver technologies that customers find valuable. Traditional technology project planning involves management discussions on product value, architecture meetings, development, testing and customer feedback. This process is slow and quite often yields products that don’t wow customers. David Koston will discuss using customer development and lean project management to build winning products without investing lots of time and money into things that customers do not want.

    Time Management for IT Organizations

    Is your time system moving you closer to or further from your goals? How important is time management? Time is money after all, isn’t it?

With the proper focus, organizations can improve their use of time and be more efficient.
