Standards during an open Industry Dialogue
-- WHERE: Network Meeting Center, 5201 Great America Parkway,
Santa Clara, CA
-- WHO: Join Forum Systems President and CEO, Wes Swenson along
with Sun and BEA at the SD Forum in Santa Clara as they
discuss where XML standards are going during the Web Services
Interoperability discussion.
-- WHAT: Identity Management, Security, SOA and more....
IT must manage heterogeneous applications from multiple
vendors to achieve business goals. Products claim to be
interoperable, but what does this really mean? And how do
vendors achieve interoperability when some of them support
competing standards?
This lively dialog on interoperability will discuss: what it
means, what it takes to achieve, what is real today, which
standards will win, and what the future holds. This event
should help IT managers develop a fuller understanding of what
the products and timelines will be. If your company relies on
custom interoperability solutions that are expensive and
difficult to maintain, will you be able to lower your IT costs
with products that are truly interoperable?
-- WHEN: January 31, 2006 from 8:30 AM - 2:00 PM Pacific Standard
