My name is Michael Zammuto and my passion is the software industry. I love building great software companies (Independent Software Vendors or ISVs) and I have served as an executive with several.

I am chief operating officer of Ontario Systems. We have a lot of exciting things going on at the company. We have built a world class team, formed an important strategic partnership with Microsoft, and our latest and most ambitious product ever, Collect Savvy, has been a big success. The product is a great example of innovation. It takes the industry in a new direction, transcending business process automation to true intelligence that drives organizational profitability in new, innovative ways. Although released just recently, the product has already received some important client, media and analyst attention and accolades and was a finalist for Innovation of the Year Mira award at TechPoint. Microsoft highlighted us in video interviews during one of the keynote addresses at the 2010 Microsoft World Partner Conference. The video was released as a video case study on Microsoft.com

Prior to Ontario I served in a number of technology and operations leadership positions. I have served in several operational and technology leadership roles. I have been the CTO for four organizations and a CIO. I am formerly a vice president of ChoicePoint and the chief technology officer of Insurity and was a manager at Microsoft.

Before joining Microsoft, I founded the award winning ISV Sapago. Our RFID based technologies and products won the "CRN/Microsoft Best of Show" award at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference and was named one of "5 Gadgets Your Business Can't Live Without" by The Crafts Report. These products were featured in Internet Retailer, RFID Journal and Retail Bulletin, among others.

I served as chief technology officer of Ecometry Corporation which we successfully grew and then sold to Golden Gate Capital. That acquisition allowed us to start a string of acquisitions including GERS and Blue Martini Software that has created a powerhouse in the space, now renamed Escalate Retail. I have appeared on the CNN show, Global Office. That interview focused on the changing role of technology executives and their representation on corporate boards and planning committees.In August 2010 I also conducted a webinar for ExecSense on writing tips for Chief Technology Officers.
