Executive viewpoint
If you’re looking for a better way to integrate with customers and partners, read this month’s article that explores the benefits of using cloud integration with SOA. It’s a cost-effective means to improve business integration and give your organization the agility to respond quickly to customers and partners on their terms. By using SOA, you can align your IT initiatives with overall business objectives. A cloud-based business integration solution brings you the next generation of interconnectivity – helping you keep pace with the changing demands of customers.
For more ways to work smarter with the latest technologies, plan to join me at Impact 2010 May 2-7 in Las Vegas. See the preview in this issue of some of our guest speakers, their accomplishments and their topics. For example, Ray Kurzweil, an eminent inventor, author and futurist, will speak at the general session May 5. Be sure to check back at the Impact Web site as we add information regarding additional thought leaders in business and technology who will share their insights and interact with Impact participants.
By going online you can view the sessions for Impact 2010 in the Business Program and the Smart SOA and BPM Technology Program, based on the topics, products and industries your are most interested in. This way you can begin to develop your agenda for Impact week, and share the topics with your colleagues. If you register now for Impact, you can receive the best savings on the event and hotel through February 28.
