CXO Systems Announces the Loosely Coupled Executive Retreat Series; Invitation Only Event Brought Together by CXO Systems and Its Partners Blue Titan Software And LooselyCoupled.com.

LONDON -- CXO Systems today announced the Loosely Coupled Executive Retreat Series, in partnership with Blue Titan, Cast Iron Systems, and LooselyCoupled.com. The first event will take place on November 3, 2004 and feature an introduction by Kevin Poulter of British American Tobacco, a pioneer in the loosely coupled enterprise.

Loosely coupled describes the friction-free linking of data and business processes enabled by Web services (or any Service-Oriented-Architecture). Loosely coupled services, even if they use incompatible system technologies, can be joined together on demand to create composite services or applications, or disassembled just as easily into their functional components. Loosely coupled enterprises are more agile and effective because their systems and data are inter-connected.

"LooselyCoupled.com continues to help drive knowledge and mindshare for the key architects of the loosely coupled revolution. Events like these give early adopters a chance to exchange views and experiences, broaden adoption, and enlighten more executives and leaders to the value of a loosely coupled enterprise," said Phil Wainewright, publisher of the Loosely Coupled website at LooselyCoupled.com. "LooselyCoupled.com is pleased to work with CXO Systems, Blue Titan, and Cast Iron, three unique companies whose innovative technology is helping to build this new business paradigm."
