Event
Ortus Club Dinner
The Ortus Club will once again be convening on 8th October offering leaders in fast-growth software and internet companies the chance to network, share information, and enjoy a five-star, three course meal at the Haymarket Hotel.
Designed to cater to the industry’s senior decision makers, last year’s attendees included BullGuard – CEO, Flexiant – CEO, Brady – CEO, Transversal – CEO, Caplin Systems – CFO, COR Financial – CFO, Qubitproducts – CFO, Marmalade Technologies – CFO, MooD International – COO, Assima – COO, Aquilaheywood – COO.
This year’s event promises to be equally exclusive looking at some of the key challenges for fast-growth software companies today – in particular the need to maintain visibility of key metrics and resources, the challenge of keeping costs in line, and the issues faced when expanding into international marketplaces.
Performance Metrics: Decision-makers with access to high-level performance metrics have the competitive advantage when assessing and allocating resources, enabling them to make data-driven decisions to increase ROI. However during periods of growth, spiralling complexity often leaves CEOs without rapid access to the key information that they need to make informed decisions. What can be done to counteract this and increase the speed of executive decision making?
International Expansion: Entering new markets requires tackling complex new regulations, dealing with new consumer preferences and dealing with a host of new operational costs. We will discuss what skills, resources, strategies, and systems are necessary to maximise your success in international markets.
Business Model Changes: Software-as-a-service is taking over as the primary delivery model for software companies. It promises increased and more reliable revenues for software companies and increased reliability and ease-of-use for end-users. We will be looking at the challenges and opportunities that SaaS will be driving over the coming years.
