Postponed, delayed, curtailed, or outright canceled — you heard
these words too often in the past 18 months. But as the global economy
recovers, your company wants to come out of the starting gate fast with
new applications and new market initiatives. Is your firm’s
infrastructure ready to answer the call? Will you need to refresh
network, server, or storage gear to meet the demand? Should you
consider cloud or other strategic outsourcing alternatives? Do you have
the skills you need to leverage new virtualization and automation
tools? Can you finally fulfill that long-held dream of transforming the
infrastructure and operations (I&O) function from an organization
based on technology silos to a true service delivery team? These are
the tough questions you need to prepare for as 2010 arrives.
This year’s I&O Forum will focus on the enormous tasks of
planning, prioritizing, justifying, and carefully executing the wide
range of people, process, and technology projects needed to get your
firm “back in the black.” Specifically, the Forum will answer questions
such as:
How will I&O drive a fast recovery for firms by planning and
prioritizing infrastructure initiatives that best align with business
goals?
How will I&O teams adapt and apply the recessionary behaviors
of business case justification and financial acumen and tune them to
the new norm for communicating with business leaders?
How will I&O assess the post-recession readiness of its infrastructure to meet current and future business needs?

Enterprise Virtualization & Cloud Computing
As companies throughout the world examine the business value of cloud computing, it is important to understand how cloud can lower IT expenses.
Based on a shared infrastructure where pools of resources are linked together, clouds can be delivered in private, public or a hybrid of both to provide the delivery of services. Many organizations today are looking to implement private clouds as a better way to respond to customer needs and manage the delivery of services in a more cost effective manner.
Virtualization is one of the key enabling technologies for the cloud, which can lead corporations and ISVs to:
Foster rapid innovation and decision-making.
Increase agility to respond quickly in today’s highly competitive environment.
Greatly reduce capital expenditures – including data center energy costs – by effectively accessing IT capacity only when needed.
Establish and ensure greater business continuity and disaster recovery strategies.
Reduce the need for IT infrastructure experts so those technical resources can be redirected toward applications that are more focused on the core competencies of the business.
Ensure transparency through Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that protect the customer whether resources are managed by their IT department or managed outside of their firewall in the cloud.
Understanding all facets of this technology reveals a new opportunity for the IT industry to no longer be seen simply as an infrastructure but as a means for better business.
IT & the Bottom Line
To be effective, IT must be aligned and attuned to the service needs and strategies of the core business. IT organizations and departments must be viewed as a partner in planning for business success. In turn, enterprise IT professionals must be able to express how these services directly relate to the business strategies of the company.
IT organizations must continuously deal with competing budget priorities in these difficult economic times and demonstrate their worth by contributing to organizational effectiveness and efficiencies, while realizing cost-savings. Here are some examples:
Increase efficiencies from existing investments
Optimize resource utilization through virtualization
Track and assign costs through asset management
Deliver service while using less power, space and cooling, thus reducing costs
Employ best practices as described by ITIL to ensure delivery of quality service
Eliminate/centralize duplicated IT services across the organization
Respond quickly to changing business needs through rapid provisioning of IT services
Ensure optimum customer satisfaction by provided agreed upon levels of service
Manage resources according to business priorities
Eliminate IT investments that do not deliver business value
There are many more, but the key is to communicate IT initiatives in a way that shows value to the business and to the bottom line. It`s not about the technology or technical excellence; it`s about improved business results.
Become a High-Performing Team Member Improve leadership and teamwork skills by implementing effective project management techniques Identify Tools and Techniques to Help Your Project Teams be Successful Learn powerful communication techniques to increase team productivity and effectiveness Perfect the Art of Decision Making Understand the pros and cons of various decision-making methods and identify the various ways to make a decision as a project manager Effectively Manage Project Change Understand how change impacts organizations both positively and negatively and learn to implement change successfully

CAMP`10 is an international scientific conference for research in the field of information retrieval and knowledge management. Information retrieval is the art and science of retrieving from a collection of items a subset that serves the user s purpose. While, knowledge management comprises a range of practices used in an organization to identify, create, represent, distribute and enable adoption of insights and experiences.
With the economy still challenging development pros to produce
mission-critical software quickly, the Java community continues to seek
the most effective ways to accelerate the production of software that
can have an immediate impact on an organization’s bottom line.
Infrastructure projects and strategic initiatives such as content
management are out. Far fewer of us are working on packaged apps such
as SAP and Oracle, which are also more strategic in nature. This means
that veteran developers are being taken from known technologies and
thrust into quick-hitting projects that can involve unfamiliar
architectures and technologies, making the need to get up to speed on
these technologies fast.
All this coupled with ongoing change
— especially with the acquisition of Sun by Oracle and SpringSource by
VMware — means that an air of uncertainty is felt over the industry as
a whole. Change can be good but rumors and unanswered questions still
abound. This makes the need for specific, proven advice on exactly what
tools, techniques, and frameworks can truly empower you to build
complex distributed apps quickly a paramount concern. So where can you
turn for help without breaking the bank?

The first Web 2.0 innovations helped us make new connections on a
global scale. The rise of location-aware tools, linked with the growing
ubiquity of real-time, social, and mobile, is swinging the pendulum
back to the human and local scale.
Location has permeated our collective wisdom, informing our online
and in-person experiences, our business models, and our ability to
change the world. Location information is a force for both opportunity
and disruption, ready to explode our assumptions about the limits of
the internet operating system.
The dramatic increase in the number of products, companies, and
people affected by the expansion of location technologies has shaped
the 2010 edition of Where 2.0 into three distinct, simultaneous tracks:
Mapping for Everyone
Advanced consumers now expect location to be a requisite feature, helping us to make more informed choices, from a new home purchase
to following our favorite food cart. Some ignore location at their
peril, but savvy companies are already leveraging location information
to engage customers via new mapping data , augmented reality , and relevant data layers . Even Wall Street has started integrating geodata into its business intelligence applications .
Mobile Innovations
It`s
not just consumers who have taken to the increased access to
information on their hand-held devices. Businesses, institutions, and
organizations are all becoming significant players in the mobile arena
along all points of the global-local axis, building multiplatform services on the cheap . Smartphones and other devices equipped with mapping apps are forcing stand-alone navigational devices—and their business model— into obsolescence .
Meanwhile, corporate behemoths are taking the "location is everywhere"
mantra to new heights. Apple, with its recent geo acquisitions and
overtures to Microsoft, is positioned to compete head-on with Google for location domination.
Local and Marketing Opportunities and Models
Mass
consumer adoption of mapping and location-aware technologies has
inspired restaurants and Main Street merchants to use tools like foursquare and Yelp to drive new traffic. Are local search and advertising tools really making money, even in this down economy?
No matter if the world economy goes V, U or W shape for recovery, CIO are taking on responsibilities that have expanded beyond the traditional role.
Today, CIOs are expected to acquire business insight, technical acumen and leadership, and to use tools to make enterprise’s strategic goals, develop business and bring in more value. And all of this has to be done with the principle of “doing more with less.”
But you are not alone in facing these challenges. JFPS provides a platform for you to network with your peers, to share successful experience, and hear lessons they have learned hard and you do not have to go through. It will be an event with comprehensive case studies and innovation showcases in one place.
As a CIO you occupy a pivotal role within your organization, always focused on the needs of those around you. Here it’s your turn to be the center of attention and get the tools, knowledge and support you need to re-charge yourself for the year ahead.

The CIO Summit provides executives with the opportunity to interact with innovative solution providers, with whom they can partner to build innovation in the IT department. During a period of three days, attendees will interact with nationally recognized thought leaders as well as network with peers who are experts in the Information Systems and Technology field, allowing CIOs to walk away from the event with tools and strategies to dramatically catapult the IT Department from a cost center to a revenue driver.
Creating an environment that promotes innovative thinking within the IT department is essential. Virtualization is widespread and is resulting in substantial cost savings and lowering disaster recovery response times. Integrating various systems is always a challenge amongst IT departments, and discovering tools to overcome these challenges is central to the CIOs role. Security remains a special concern as we are faced with an environment where the aggressors have access to more intelligence, with a wider array of tools available. Today’s environment is also set for mergers and acquisitions to become more prevalent. Determining how to allocate the IT budget across these needs is always a challenge as there will be tradeoffs. There will be no tolerance for obsolescence or obscurity.
People use software, but other people build that software. There`s
the problem. Solving it means understanding the actual work of the
Business users and what they need in order to do it. And then the
resulting requirements need to be communicated to system builders,
customers and suppliers. Requirements analysts need a process that
provides a structure for organizing the requirements. However the
requirements process needs to be flexible enough to suit each
particular situation. This seminar teaches you that process. Since the
first version of the Volere process and template was released, it has
been adopted and adapted to improve the requirements of thousands of
organizations all over the world.The Volere requirements specification
template, links the functional, non-functional and constraint Business
requirements to the requirements models and connects them to the design
specification. This seminar has indispensable information for Business
analysts, requirements engineers, systems mangers, project leaders,
consultants, systems analysts and planners.This material applies to all
stakeholders: users and
customers will benefit from learning how to participate in this
multi-disciplinary approach. It is for anybody who has a responsibility
to deliver the right products-the ones that get used.The seminar
focuses on:
A process for gathering the correct requirements
Methods of eliciting requirements from all the stakeholders
Ways of knowing when your solution precisely matches what the user needs
The ability to write a complete and unambiguous requirements specification
Improved relationships between developers, customers and suppliers.

The original Data Warehouse architecture of the 1980s separated
“decision support” from day-to-day business operations. This supported
Decision-Making needs at the time and was easily implemented on then
emerging technologies, such as relational databases. However, today’s
Business needs fully integrated processes, closely linking information
and activities from all areas of the Enterprise. Decision-Making and
Action-Taking are tightly bound. Business cycles are dramatically
shorter and span company boundaries. So far, Enterprise IT, including
Business Intelligence, has responded slowly and incoherently.
Business Integrated Insight (BI2)
is a new architecture that reintegrates all Decision-Making and
Action-Taking into the overall processes of the Business. Starting from
the Data Warehouse, it incorporates a variety of technological
advances, such as SOA, distributed access, Web technologies, Content
Management and specialised relational databases. BI2 thus
provides a comprehensive structure for the full Enterprise IT
integration demanded by modern Businesses. In addition, it directly
addresses the current Data Warehousing issues, such as operational BI,
executive Decision-Support, comprehensive information discovery and
innovation, and Enterprise-Wide Decision Management. And, although
novel, BI2 is designed as an evolution from current Data Warehouse, operational and collaborative technologies.
Under the Radar is a must-attend event for dealmakers,
CIOs and heads of IT from large enterprises, SMBs, carriers and media
companies who are responsible for leveraging new innovation to stay
ahead in the fast-evolving IT ecosystem.

More than 70% of the IT projects in the UK fail every year and over 80%
of them fail in the requirements analysis phase. Poor project
management, bad organizational politics, false business priorities,
lack of commitment and other issues can also cause a project to fail.
Patterns of software systems failures and their study have resulted in
the development of numerous models, methodologies and frameworks, yet
project and system failures persist. Requirements understanding,
analysis and specification have emerged as critical areas in software
and systems engineering.
The topics of interest include but not limited to
Formal Methods and Notations for representing requirements

Data Governance has emerged as a new discipline in
response to both regulatory requirements as well as business necessity.
Data Governance is an absolute necessity for all organisations today,
even more so given the current economic climate. As indicated in a
recent survey strategic application spending in the area of Data Governance
is expected to triple over the next two years. This conference will
focus on the “how to’s” in data governance from getting
started to achieving data governance maturity.

SOA has rapidly seized the momentum and center stage because it is seen
as the key for Enterprises to achieve Business agility, improved
quality of service, lowered total cost of ownership and to align
Business with technology. SOA represents a unique and rare opportunity
to bring IT and Business together. However, this opportunity implies an
evolution and often an organizational change, especially in the role of
IT within the organization and in the way IT and Business work
together. This seminar starts with examples of popular Business
strategies, explains how SOA can enable them and foster a better
alignment between Business requirements and IT deliverables. It gives
you insight into the key organizational challenges that IT Managers
face with the adoption of SOA and how to master them through efficient
governance. Next, the seminar discusses the key standards that one
should consider when implementing services and it outlines the
important aspects of Enterprise Architecture that have to be addressed
in order to make SOA projects successful. This includes defining a
loosely coupled architecture and proper separation into service layers,
as well as a comparison of conventional Web Services based and RESTful
architectures. The seminar then drills down into the major aspects of
application architecture, for example how SOA enables new types of
clients, the characteristics of orchestration, application, and
infrastructure services, and it maps standards to the layers of the
application architecture. Furthermore, the seminar will help you
understand how SOA can be applied to integration initiatives within
your company, in particular through Service Oriented Integration (SOI).
In this context the concept of the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is
introduced. The seminar concludes with an overview of today’s
predominant platforms for building and deploying new Business
applications (Java EE and .NET, as well as open source tools),
examining these platforms in terms of their support for SOA.

"Cloud" has become synonymous with "computing" and "software" in two short years. Cloud Expo is the new PC Expo, Comdex, and InternetWorld of our decade. By 2012, more than 50,000 delegates per year will participate in Cloud Expo worldwide.
The cloud is certainly a compelling alternative to running all
applications within a traditional corporate data center. But moving
from theory into practice is where things get complicated, and this is
where attending a top industry event like Cloud Expo comes in.
No one can take full advantage of cloud computing without first
becoming familiar with the latest issues and trends, which is why the
organizing principle of the International Cloud Conference & Expo is to ensure - through an intensive three-day
schedule of keynotes, general and breakout sessions, and our bustling
Expo Floor - that attending delegates leave with abundant resources, ideas and examples they can apply
immediately to leveraging the Cloud, helping them to maximize
performance, minimize cost and improve the scalability of their
Enterprise IT endeavors.
Delegates will leave Cloud Expo with dramatically increased understanding the entire scope of the entire cloud computing spectrum from storage to security.
Dimensional data is a core component of modern BI/DW implementations.
Dimensionally organized data offers a more effective and adaptable
solution to business analytics needs than can be achieved with
relational data structures. Virtually anyone involved in business
intelligence and data warehousing projects needs to have fundamental
knowledge of the pathway from business questions to business analytics.
In addition, real world data warehouse designs rarely resemble the
simple star schemas found in product demos or introductory courses
(with only a single fact table, fully additive facts, and several
standard dimension tables). The TDWI Seattle Seminar will teach the
core fundamental principals as well as provide an extended set of
techniques to address real-world complexity.
With over 6500 attendees benefiting over two game changing editions,

The Gartner Enterprise Integration Summit has become the "must attend" event of Latin America. It is the only conference that features 18+ sessions led by Gartner Analysts. Their sole focus is to help you interpret the intricacies of SOA, Web 2.0, IT Modernization, Application Development, Application Integration, Enterprise Architecture, BPM and Cloud Computing. Topic(s): Application Development, Application Integration and Middleware Software, Business Process Management Software, Cloud Computing, Enterprise Architecture, Portals and Web Infrastructure, Service-Oriented Architecture, Service-Oriented Development of Applications, Web 2.0, Web Services
After a brief introduction of Service Oriented Architecture the
seminar discusses the guidance that typical Enterprise Architectures
provide, and it compares today’s two mainstream approaches to SOA,
namely conventional Web Services based architectures and RESTful
architectures. It moves on to the more detailed application
architecture, starting with the relationship of different types of
clients to the services they consume, the separation of services into
three distinct layers (orchestration, application, and infrastructure
services layer), and it gives a quick overview how a variety of
standards can be mapped to the elements of the application architecture.
The seminar then addresses how a typical Object Oriented application
development methodology can be modified in order to derive a
methodology that is suitable for implementing services. A Case Study is
used for a detailed illustration of the modeling and design of a
SOA-based B2B gateway. It includes the design of service interfaces,
the encapsulation of a legacy system, the definition of schemas that
are broken down into reusable components, the development of Business
processes, and a walk-through of the complete B2B gateway architecture.

How
can IT, often the largest energy consumer, both directly and with its
enormous cooling needs, keep leaping costs within limits?
How can it contain escalating equipment costs by optimizing business
processes through swift consolidation of servers and storage?
With data center capacity doubling every five years with soaring
demand, how can Green IT drastically reduce the need for expansion and
demand for space?
How can business manage
carbon emissions with exciting new technologies such as shipping
logistics planning coupled with supply chain management?
By
rapid technology turnover and by midwifing other green processes –
virtual travel and client interface and telecommunting – how can Green
IT meet the UN goal of reconciling current progress with future
responsibility?
How do the private and
public sectors alike meet the clamorous demand for higher standards of
social and environmental responsibility and function viably?
These are the key questions to
which 21st century organizations are seeking urgent answers. The
current conference will come up with new, pragmatic and tested
solutions for our time.

There is unanimous agreement among “agile” authors, experts, and
practitioners that agile development works for building small
stand-alone systems, including front-end BI applications. However,
there is considerable disagreement among the experts whether “agile”
can work for large, complex systems like an Enterprise Data Warehouse,
which requires an Enterprise perspective for activities like data
standardization, data integration, enterprise data modeling, business
rules ratification, coordinated ETL data staging, common meta data,
collectively architected (designed) databases, and so on. Today’s
popular agile methodologies do not take any of these additional
DW-specific complexities and interdependencies into account. However,
the presenter’s 7-step Extreme ScopingTM approach does.

Having good information visualization software is not enough. Even
knowing how to use the software is not enough. The ability to design
effective visual displays of data is not intuitive; it requires a set
of visual design skills that must be learned.
Based on his recent book, "Show Me the Numbers: Designing Tables and
Graphs to Enlighten", Stephen Few introduces the Best Practices in data
presentation in this workshop.
We make huge investments annually in Business Intelligence (BI)
technology, but it often fails to deliver on the promise of improved
productivity and smarter decisions. Assuming that you need only install
BI software and the rest will take care of itself is a false hope.
To use BI technology effectively, you still need fundamental skills in
the analysis and presentation of information. A relatively small
investment in skills development can make the difference between the
success or failure of a huge investment in technology.
The most common and important use of BI software involves the analysis
and presentation of quantitative information - the numbers that measure
Business Performance. Most quantitative data, such as sales data and
other Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), are presented as tables and
graphs. Unfortunately, most tables and graphs used in Business today
are poorly designed. Why? Because almost no one who produces them,
including specialists such as financial analysts and other report
developers, have been trained in effective table and graph design. You
can become an exception to this norm.
This course provides practical instruction in table and graph design
developed specifically for the needs of Business. It will alleviate
countless hours of confusion and frustration. Following Stephen Few`s
clear precepts, communicated through examples of what works, what
doesn`t, and why, you will learn to design tables and graphs that
present data clearly and drive your message home.
Somewhere around 90% of all Business data analysis can be done using
simple graphing techniques to discern meaningful Patterns in the data.
Plenty of existing resources already teach the skills and practices
involved in doing sophisticated statistical and financial analysis to
support the mere 10% of Business data analysis that requires it those
specialized skills, but where are the resources that teach the skills
needed by the rest of us?
Even though these skills are simple and easy to learn and apply with
the right help, very few people involved in analyzing Business data
know them. This workshop provides a solution.
This book is intended for all those whose work requires them to make
sense of quantitative Business data. This audience is much broader than
financial analysts, or even analysts by any name; it provides practical
skills that are useful to managers at all levels and to anyone
interested in keeping a keen eye on the Business
Anyone who uses Excel or any of the many other Business productivity
tools used for data access, analysis, and reporting, will learn how to
use them productively, perhaps for the first time.
The delegates will also receive a copy of the book “Now you see it: Simple Graphing Techniques for Quantitative Analysis” by Stephen Few.
Dashboards have become a popular means to present critical Business information at a glance, but few do so effectively.
Huge investments are made in Information Technology to produce
actionable information, only to have it robbed of meaning at the very
last stage of the process: the presentation of insights to those
responsible for making decisions.
When designed well, Dashboards engage the power of visual perception to
communicate a dense collection of information in an instant with
exceptional clarity. This can only be achieved, however, by applying
visual design skills that address the unique design challenges of
Dashboards.
These skills are not intuitive; they must be learned.
The delegates will also receive a copy of the new book "Information Dashboard Design" by Stephen Few.

Developments in IT and the world economy have changed the paradigm for
corporate IT people and the strategies they lead. Consumers and
Business managers are increasingly confident at exploiting technology
in ways that they value. Meanwhile, executives remain determined to
constrain IT spending, not always certain of what they get in return.
The economic climate makes it even more important to understand the
links between value creation and IT costs.
The Corporate Strategy for IT harnesses the energy of Business-led
strategies for exploiting IT, to create maximum total value. It also
makes transparent the linkages between Business decisions and IT costs
- often with some very surprising results.
Ten years ago, companies like AOL, Yahoo, Google, Amazon, Earthlink,
and eBay battled to define the ways we would use the Web. The winners
drew millions of customers, but more importantly, they spawned
ecosystems that created huge opportunities for partners, vendors and
competitors. Today, new wars with new players like Facebook, Twitter,
and Bing are emerging on the Web—wars that create hard questions for
businesses that must decide their own roles in our increasingly mobile,
social, and real-time world. Web 2.0 Expo highlights the important
debates, handicaps the key players, and helps you pick the winning
platforms for growth in a web-fueled world.
Web 2.0 Expo will have 75+ sessions, workshops, and intensives for
designers, developers, entrepreneurs, marketers, business strategists,
and investors, covering 10 topic areas:

In a recent advertisement for Microsoft Project, a Project Manager
is shown alone in a high-tech room looking at 20 computer screens on a
wall with project plans, tracking reports and other project information
produced by Microsoft Project.The caption reads "Excellent". The
project is going to plan. In the client-driven, internet-speed world of
contemporary world of new Business, nothing could be further from
reality than the Microsoft advertisement. With the evolution of XP
(Extreme Programming and Lite or Agile Methodologies), the need for
appropriate Project Management techniques to support the radical
development approaches involved in Extreme projects has become
critical.Traditional Project Management focused "downwards" to the
technical content of the project. In other words, the Project Manager
focused on issues such as schedule, deliverables, costs and so on (the
Microsoft advertisement). Extreme Project Management balances the
internal focus on the content with an external focus on the context of
the project.Simply, what used to done with the project team is now
shared fully with the project stakeholders. In addition, the broader
context issues such as Business impact, Change Management, Business
drivers, benefits realisation,
organizational politics, communication, relationship and expectation
Management are the main focus of the new Project Manager.In a recent US
survey, Robert Charette reported that Project Managers were struggling
to cope with the changing Business environment. Challenges facing
Project Managers include:
Lack of budget or time to establish stable processes in highly compressed schedules
The need for innovative new solutions to Business initiatives
Insufficient planning
Redundant work caused by sudden changes in priorities
Too many dependencies with other projects
Competition for resources with other projects
Slow decision making
In this highly-provocative and challenging Master Class, Extreme
Project Management will be explored. The workshop will provide a forum
for experienced Project Managers to come to grips with the new world of
Project Management. Each student will receive a copy of Thomsett`s book
"Radical Project Management".

For years corporate decisions have been made on the basis of the data
found in transaction based systems. Transaction oriented data fits well
with standard database management systems because database management
systems structure data in a repetitive manner, where each occurrence of
data has the same structure as each other occurrence of data in a
table. But there is another viable and important source of data in the
corporation. That source of data is the information found in the form
of text. There are many forms of text in the corporation – emails,
spreadsheets, contracts, warranties, medical and healthcare
information, and so forth. Because text is not repetitive it does not
fit easily and well with standard database management systems. But now
there is textual ETL and the ability to build databases and data
warehouses that contain textual information. When textual data is able
to be transformed so that the text fits inside a standard database
management system, whole new opportunities for analysis and decision
making are created.
This two day lecture/workshop is about what is required to create the
textual, unstructured data warehouse. The first day is lecture and the
second day is a hands on workshop.

Technology Transfer’s International SOA Conference 2010 will answer
key questions on how to navigate the road ahead of your current SOA. A
lineup of experienced practitioners will present on topics that are
crucial for any organization that wants to move beyond small scale
projects and apply SOA across projects, across the Enterprise, extend
it to the cloud and to Business partners. Join us when we discuss:
Is SOA the Holy Grail that will finally allow us to align
Business and IT? We will look at the transition from a Business
Architecture to a SOA and how they can be linked together
While
the numbers of failed SOA projects are still high it is important to
arm yourself with hard facts before you meet your Business sponsors.
ROI calculations can convince even the most skeptical CFO
Moving
from a grass roots approach for building services to an Enterprise
strategy requires understanding the SOA maturity level of your
organization, defining a Roadmap for the evolution of SOA to the next
level, and employing the right Governance to the implementation of your
Roadmap
REST-based architectures seem to compete with the
traditional approaches to building a SOA – but do they really, or is it
just another flavor, and how do you decide when to use what?
Web
2.0 continues to be one of the hottest topics in IT. It is more than a
pretty face for services; and we must understand its implications on
how we architect services
Services have started to
proliferate throughout your organization – how do you put a structured
integration approach in place before your SOA spins out of control like
we have witnessed with point-to-point integration “quick fixes”?
Enterprise
Service Buses can be an essential tool to integrate and virtualize your
services, but they should not be confused with an architecture blueprint
Most
companies are using server virtualization to consolidate hardware and
save cost; however, this is typically driven by data center operations
and not in line with the SOA that Enterprise architects are concerned
with – but it should be, and cloud computing is the next step that has
to fit under the SOA umbrella
Security – while often an afterthought, it becomes more critical in a SOA environment
Business
Process Management (BPM) has a synergy with SOA that can provide the
needed flexibility to make alignment of Business and IT a reality
Join us for the largest global gathering of CA customers, executives,

The Uptime Institute Symposium, one of the most influential events
on the IT industry and data center operator calendar, is the only event
focused entirely on data center efficiency and green enterprise IT.
The Symposium attracts stakeholders in enterprise IT, finance,
executive management, data center facilities, and corporate real estate
to deal with the critical issues surrounding enterprise computing,
resource and energy efficiency, availability and productivity.
As the largest consumers of power for many corporations, IT and data
centers are central to the energy challenge - but as primary enablers
of enterprise efficiency, they`re also central to the search for
solutions.
Being challenged with budget reductions due to uncertain economic conditions, IT cost reduction would be a top priority for CIOs in 2010. CIOs need to ensure that the primary performance metrics for the IT department is maintained, while the organization continues to function at its best. However, the continual increase of consumer privacy data being compromised and other forms of security breaches put a major dent in the bottom line and also in the company’s brand.
Threats from social networking sites to hosted services and cloud raise worries amongst CIOs as these technologies continue to blur the network parameter and make it more difficult to protect the information from outside in and inside out. 2nd Annual IT Showcase Asia 2010 explores strategies and technologies that are on CIO’s agenda in making critical decisions for business and IT matters. Major highlights of this high-profile conference would include the discussions on cost reduction strategies and best practices in IT portfolio management to maximize Return on Investment (ROI) and improve project success.
IT security concerns that lie within virtualization, cloud computing and mobile applications as well as proven solutions to resolve these security breaches will be shared by CIOs from leading MNCs and Fortune 500 companies through case studies, panel discussions and focus group. Look out for the latest updates on open source development in Malaysia, as well as unified communications, IT governance and many more!

A new wave of computing tools and applications – illustrated by
examples ranging from Wikipedia to MySpace to blogs – has grown in
popularity during the past five years, and is now reaching “mainstream”
status in some parts of society. More important, it is now being
investigated and adopted by CIO’s and senior executive in large,
pragmatic Business organizations as a way of reaching new markets,
increasing revenues and profits, increasing productivity and
effectiveness of its employees, and many other benefits.
“Enterprise 2.0” is the term now used to describe Business-Oriented
adoption and implementation of technologies, Business strategies and
cultural practices that were originally focused on informal networking
activities among consumers, students, and teenagers.
But most organizations believe that the technologies of Enterprise 2.0
are less important than the Business strategies that need to be
reexamined and updated.
How can Enterprise 2.0 help us find new markets and customers?
How can it help us find new products and services to offer existing customers?
How
can we find ways to increase collaboration between our employees,
customers, suppliers, and other citizens – using, for example,
strategies like “crowd-sourcing” - rather than operating entirely
within a fortified firewall barrier?
And how can we
improve the effectiveness of communications with our customers, so we
can spend more time listening to them, and less time preaching at them?
Enterprise 2.0 is a “strategic” issue: it requires senior corporate
executives – including the CIO and senior IT Managers – to rethink
basic assumptions about their Business, their customers, their
suppliers, their work-force, their revenue models, and the day-to-day
processes by which they carry out their Business.
This seminar is designed to help attendees understand the importance
and impact of Enterprise 2.0 from both a Business and technology
viewpoint.
Almost every organization around the globe is now moving beyond
processes as solely a way of synchronizing change and is attempting to
transform the way their enterprise plans, manages, monitors and aligns
capabilities and motivation using a process-managed baseline. The bad
news is that most organizations have little ability to make it happen
in a consistent or reliable way and most managers do not really
understand what
it will take to succeed. This seminar provides a comprehensive
examination of the state of the art in Enterprise-level Business
Process Management (BPM). It addresses innovations in ways of managing
processes as assets of the enterprise. It focuses on maintaining the
critical role that processes play in the alignment of the strategic
objectives of the organization with what people do every day. It is
geared to those with or without process experience seeking to learn a
set of pragmatic practices packaged into a reusable BPM way of working
strategically and tactically. The facilitated workshop sessions are
highly interactive and ensure experience-sharing with other
delegates. Built on lessons learnt, both good and bad, from real
companies, this seminar provides you practices to deal with the real
and tough challenges you will face.
Delegates will benefit from the experience and wisdom of the world leader on the topic. Roger Burlton’s book "Business Process Management: Profiting from Process" will also be provided to all who attend.
The Gartner Outsourcing & IT Services Summit shows
you what you need to do today to ensure your outsourcing initiatives

This seminar delivers the foundational skills and techniques required
to analyze and improve existing processes. It focuses on identifying
opportunities for process change and presents the analysis, modeling
and design techniques and tools required to improve performance.
Participants will learn to scope specific processes using graphical
models to document results. And, they will learn how to define
measurement techniques for evaluating outcomes. They will also learn
how to model As-Is and To-Be process workflows using industry standard
notations. The class is organized around a case study that will be
developed by attendees working in teams along with the instructor. The
approach is practical and business oriented and attendees will be able
to immediately apply what they learn within their own organization. It
naturally follows on from the lessons in the preceding class "Business Process Management" (BPM) to provide a complete methodology.
If your processes don`t always produce the correct or consistent
results, then you probably have a decisioning problem. You need the
right techniques to fix these decisioning problems - process models,
use cases, data models and other Business analysis tools just don`t do
the job.
Decisions are day-to-day, minute-to-minute decisions in running the
Business. Generally, the decisions are made within some Business
process, which might or might not be formally organized by a model. The
important thing about these operational decisions is that they are
highly repetitive - they might be taking place
hundreds or thousands of times per day, per hour, or even per minute.
They are predictable and fairly well structured in terms of the kinds
of outcomes they produce. You want such decisions to be consistent and
traceable across platforms, channels and organizational units.
Business Rules are the criteria for making these decisions. Business
Rules should be treated as a first-class requirement so they can be
validated, managed and changed as easily and as quickly as possible.
For that, you need to know how to express Business Rules, and organize
them into decision tables wherever possible.
This seminar gives you the essential insights you need to achieve
order-of-magnitude improvements in your company`s capacity to manage
decisions. The result is simpler, smarter process models and a huge
boost in Business agility. Learn applied techniques from the recognized
world leader in the field.
All delegates will receive a free copy of Ron Ross`s book “Business Rule Concepts” (3rd Ed.), 2009.

Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is a computing paradigm that exploits both web services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) as fundamental elements for developing software systems. It changes the way software systems are designed, architected, delivered and consumed. Moreover, it has emerged as a major trend of computing paradigm in the past few years.
Service-Oriented System Engineering is a prerequisite to promote SOC. The Fifth International Workshop on Service-Oriented System Engineering (SOSE 2010) intends to provide a forum for researchers to exchange latest findings, results, and visions in Service-Oriented System Engineering.

Where you find the most inspiring keynotes from industry-leading innovators and IBM leaders.
This year`s special theme is "Evolving information systems". Modern information systems are the result of the interconnection of systems of many organizations, are running in variable contexts, and require both a lightweight approach to interoperability and the capability to actively react to changing requirements and failures. In addition, users of information systems are becoming more and more mobile and ubiquitous, requiring the system to adapt to their varying usage contexts and goals.
The evolution of an information system should be a continuous process rather than a single step, and it should be inherently supported by the system itself and the design of the information system should consider evolution as an inherent property of the system. The special events and invited speakers of CAiSE `10 will shed light on this theme from various perspectives.
Topics will include:
Methodologies and approaches for IS engineering
Innovative platforms, architectures and technologies for IS engineering
Interop is the only event to give you a comprehensive and unbiased

This course teaches the students how to develop secure web
applications in today’s complex internetworked environment. Students
will receive a deep and thorough understanding of the most prevalent
and dangerous security defects in today’s applications. Additionally,
they will learn practical and actionable guidelines on how to remediate
against these common defects in Java/J2EE and how to test for them in
their own applications.
This class starts with a description of the security problems faced
by today`s software developer, as well as a detailed description of the
Open Web Application Security Project’s (OWASP) “Top 10” security
defects. These defects are studied in instructor-lead sessions as well
as in hands-on lab exercises in which each student learns how to
actually exploit the defects to “break into” a real Web application.
(The labs are performed in safe test environments.)
Remediation techniques and strategies are then studied for each
defect. Practical guidelines on how to integrate secure development
practices into the software development process are then presented and
discussed.
Dimensional Normal Form is a new approach to Data Warehouse Data
Architecture which combines the strengths of both the normalized and
the dimensional design paradigms to provide usable, flexible, scalable,
and high performing schemas for the Enterprise Data Warehouse.
Dimensional Normal Form allows an Enterprise Data Warehouse to be
constructed a Data Mart at a time without requiring an intermediate
Data Warehouse. While this sounds like the Kimball approach it is
differentiated by its completely normalized ETL dimensions and its
methods for tracking dimension history and differentiating contextual
from detail or audit history.
This seminar fully covers design techniques for Data Warehousing and BI
solutions based on the Dimensional Normal Form Data Architecture and
discusses the pros and cons of the many design decisions that must be
made. History considerations are discussed in detail along with their
impact on schema design.
Various schema design examples are presented and discussed. The seminar
participants will also be given design exercises will have their
solutions analyzed and discussed by the group.
The seminar will also present contrasting Data Warehouse architectures
and discuss the variations in physical design that are required for
different Data Warehousing environments.
The following seminar on “Template-Driven ETL” will show how to build,
populate and maintain the schemas built following the Dimensional
Normal Form Data Architecture.
Attend TechEd and you`ll return to your office with knowledge and expertise
that only four days at Tech·Ed can offer. You can learn about today’s
cutting edge trends, helping make life easier for you (and everyone
else) at work. But the most important benefit just might be the
networking: you can build personal connections with Microsoft experts
and peers that will last far beyond Tech·Ed.
with Microsoft innovators, third party experts, and thousands of your
IT peers to find the technology resources necessary to help build
state-of-the-art software solutions or to help plan, architect, deploy,
manage and secure a connected IT infrastructure.
Dimensional data is a core component of modern BI/DW implementations.
Dimensionally organized data offers a more effective and adaptable
solution to business analytics needs than can be achieved with
relational data structures. Virtually anyone involved in business
intelligence and data warehousing projects needs to have fundamental
knowledge of the pathway from business questions to business analytics.
In addition, real world data warehouse designs rarely resemble the
simple star schemas found in product demos or introductory courses
(with only a single fact table, fully additive facts, and several
standard dimension tables). The TDWI Seattle Seminar will teach the
core fundamental principals as well as provide an extended set of
techniques to address real-world complexity.
The Data Governance
Annual Conference will focus on the "how-tos" from starting a
data governance and stewardship program to attaining data governance maturity.

It brings together a wide range of researchers and practitioners to present their on-going ideas, experiences, and outcomes of most recent research, and to exchange their best-of-breed practices for developing reliable, secure, and trustworthy software systems in a more effective and efficient way. It not only allows the academic community to gain an increased awareness of the areas that are vital to the software industry, but it also grants practitioners an opportunity to express their needs. The conference will be held at the National University of Singapore with three major tracks: research papers, fast abstracts and the student doctoral program. Additional workshops with more focused topics will also be held concurrently.
Extract, transformation, and load process development (ETL) typically
accounts for more than half of the work on a Data Warehouse project.
Although complex and challenging a rigorous ETL process ensures data
quality and currency thus ensuring Data Warehouse credibility and
usefulness.
The good news is that using a standardized approach along with proven
techniques and templates can exponentially lessen the amount of effort
required and can ensure data quality, scalability and performance.
This class gives a broad overview of ETL processing for the Data
Warehouse and delves into the in-depth issues and considerations
involved. The class looks at the increasing need for Real-Time data
feeds to the Warehouse and discusses the various methods to meet these
needs. It specifically presents and teaches a template-driven approach
which quickens development speed and provides completeness.
These templates are demonstrated with working Informatica/Oracle code,
but can and have been adapted for other ETL tools and database
platforms. They are also applicable for hand-coded efforts.
Enterprise Architecture is fundamental for enabling an Enterprise to
assimilate internal changes in response to the external dynamics and
uncertainties of the information age environment.
It not only constitutes a baseline for managing change, but also
provides the mechanism by which the reality of the Enterprise and its
systems can be aligned with management intentions.
The objective of this seminar is to build an understanding of the
concepts of Enterprise Architecture and develop a sense of urgency for
implementing those concepts in a modern Enterprise.
This workshop is designed for software developers and testers that want

Cloud has become synonymous with computing and software in two short years. Cloud Expo is the new PC Expo, Comdex, and InternetWorld of our decade. By 2012, more than 50,000 delegates per year will participate in Cloud Expo worldwide.
The cloud is certainly a compelling alternative to running all
applications within a traditional corporate data center. But moving
from theory into practice is where things get complicated, and this is
where attending a top industry event like Cloud Expo comes in.
No one can take full advantage of cloud computing without first
becoming familiar with the latest issues and trends, which is why the
organizing principle of the International Cloud Conference & Expo is to ensure - through an intensive three-day
schedule of keynotes, general and breakout sessions, and our bustling
Expo Floor - that attending delegates leave with abundant resources, ideas and examples they can apply
immediately to leveraging the Cloud, helping them to maximize
performance, minimize cost and improve the scalability of their
Enterprise IT endeavors.
Delegates will leave Cloud Expo with dramatically increased understanding the entire scope of the entire cloud computing spectrum from storage to security.

The evolution of how companies employ SOA can be broken down into three
phases: the initial phase focuses on migrating from previous approaches
like component based applications to services and the best practices
around building services. Once a company has completed initial SOA
projects, the number of deployed services increases such that the key
question no longer is how to build services, but rather how to
efficiently govern the development and operation of services on an
Enterprise scale. The focus of a second phase SOA shifts to
reusability, securing how a growing number of clients access the
services, assuring that Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are met, etc.
Service virtualization plays a key role in this phase, which provides a
decoupling of clients and services and replaces non-business logic in
services with configuration in middleware that acts as intermediaries,
like Enterprise Service Buses and SOA Appliances. While enterprise
architects focus on SOA, the data center and operations managers have
server virtualization on their agenda as a top priority to increase
efficiency and reduce cost. These two efforts have not been treated
synergistically by most companies, but they should. The provisioning of
virtual servers should be done using a SOA based service infrastructure
paradigm and the business services should automatically be mapped onto
infrastructure resources in order to implement on-demand resource
provisioning to better meet SLAs. This approach to the second phase in
the SOA evolution positions a company for a natural progression into
phase three, where services move into the cloud. Regardless whether we
move to an enterprise cloud or one that is hosted by an external
provider, everything we have learned and implemented in the first two
phases of SOA applies – even more so, since issues like security and
integration become more complex in the cloud and SOA Governance plays
an even bigger role. This seminar walks you through the three phases of
evolving SOA and how to use a maturity model to build your SOA Roadmap.
It then discusses how SOA Governance relates to business, IT, and
Enterprise Architecture (EA) governance; it details what comprises SOA
Governance, provides insights into current standards, vendor approaches
and technologies, and closes with a case study that illustrates some of
the governance principles and how to measure success.
Economic pressures are forcing companies to become more innovative
while also trying to reduce costs and leverage their BI and Data
Warehousing investments. In this tough climate, the information-driven
Business is key to success and organizations are looking to extend the
application scope and user reach of analytics for Business Decision
Making. However, information is growing at a phenomenal rate with many
companies now talking about supporting and managing petabyte data
systems. In parallel with these issues, the rate of change in
information-related technologies and products continues unabated.
Vendor consolidation and failures, and the emergence of lower-cost
solutions and new deployments models such as Open Source and Cloud
Computing make developing a flexible IT strategy for Business
Intelligence and Data Warehousing a daunting task. This Conference

Enterprise Virtualization & Cloud Computing
As
companies throughout the world examine the business value of cloud
computing, it is important to understand how cloud can lower IT
expenses.
Based on a shared infrastructure where pools of
resources are linked together, clouds can be delivered in private,
public or a hybrid of both to provide the delivery of services. Many
organizations today are looking to implement private clouds as a better
way to respond to customer needs and manage the delivery of services in
a more cost effective manner.
Virtualization is one of the key enabling technologies for the cloud, which can lead corporations and ISVs to:
Foster rapid innovation and decision-making.
Increase agility to respond quickly in today’s highly competitive environment.
Greatly
reduce capital expenditures – including data center energy costs – by
effectively accessing IT capacity only when needed.
Establish and ensure greater business continuity and disaster recovery strategies.
Reduce
the need for IT infrastructure experts so those technical resources can
be redirected toward applications that are more focused on the core
competencies of the business.
Ensure transparency through
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that protect the customer whether
resources are managed by their IT department or managed outside of
their firewall in the cloud.
Understanding all facets of
this technology reveals a new opportunity for the IT industry to no
longer be seen simply as an infrastructure but as a means for better
business.
IT & the Bottom Line
To be effective, IT must be aligned and attuned to the service needs
and strategies of the core business. IT organizations and departments
must be viewed as a partner in planning for business success. In turn,
enterprise IT professionals must be able to express how these services
directly relate to the business strategies of the company.
IT organizations must continuously deal with competing budget
priorities in these difficult economic times and demonstrate their
worth by contributing to organizational effectiveness and efficiencies,
while realizing cost-savings. Here are some examples:
Increase efficiencies from existing investments
Optimize resource utilization through virtualization
Track and assign costs through asset management
Deliver service while using less power, space and cooling, thus reducing costs
Employ best practices as described by ITIL to ensure delivery of quality service
Eliminate/centralize duplicated IT services across the organization
Respond quickly to changing business needs through rapid provisioning of IT services
Ensure optimum customer satisfaction by provided agreed upon levels of service
Manage resources according to business priorities
Eliminate IT investments that do not deliver business value
There
are many more, but the key is to communicate IT initiatives in a way
that shows value to the business and to the bottom line. It`s not about
the technology or technical excellence; it`s about improved business
results.
