"The Next Big Thing" in Enterprise Software

One of the major attractions in the annual Sandhill Enterprise conference I attended this week is a showcase of 5 promising technology companies. The track record is impressive: to date, seven past Next Big Thing presenters have been acquired for more than $2.5 Billion. Two have recently filed for IPOs. Key executives from each present for about 10 minutes each

This year the 5 profiled year were:

Cast Iron - an application integration "appliance" vendor
Ketera - a SaaS based procurement/spend management solution
Seriosity - which brings multi-player gaming concepts to enterprise apps
SpiceWorks - which is pioneering an advertiser funded model for enterprise apps aimed in their case at IT managers
Vocera - which packages a device with mobile communications and voice recognition aimed at medical and other work groups
