InterSystems Symposium

InterSystems   24.05.06

For innovation to be a success it must be at the centre of your organisation’s culture. Your IT must enable that versatility using standards and policies that can manage change but avoid them stifling business value and suffocating the organisation.

 

All too often companies concentrate on maintaining the status quo, focusing on what they do well and forgetting to pay the necessary attention to the disruption caused by the factors of change, both internal and external.

 

Discover how to resolve these problems and enable your company to manage innovation successfully, reducing the inherent risk that accompanies change. Learn how to use innovations such as Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) with technologies from InterSystems, to enable your existing IT assets to create new business applications with rapid return on existing investments!

 

Symposium highlights:

·          Hear Massimo Pezzini, leading analyst – Gartner, present on ‘Best Practices in Service Oriented Architecture Implementation – the Do’s and the Don’ts’

·          Mike Scott, Head of Innovation at BT will talk about ‘Virtual Data Architectures for 21st-Century Ecosystems’

·          Many real-world innovative IT success stories

Each month we try our hardest to cover every angle and aspect of software engineering. Indeed, we pride ourselves on our platform-agnostic wide ranging view of the development landscape. How then could we push ourselves even further and really broaden the spectrum of our editorial coverage? The answer had to be – the complete A to Z of software. Well, not complete, but a rip roaring twenty-six letter technology tour to provoke some interest and thoughts in areas you might not normally think about.

But first, a personal confession so that you know how all this started. I actually got the idea from reading a cookery magazine that had done something similar. You know the kind of thing – A for apples, B for bread, C for custard and so on. But those pesky food journalists have it easy don’t they? When they get to X, Y and Z they can just use X for Xérès Sherry, Y for Yeast and even Z for Zabaglione.

Now, X is simple enough with plenty of XMLs out there, Z for zero tolerance we reckoned, but Y, wow - now that is a hard one.

So, please dive in and jump to your favourite letter. It was always going to be the case that we would miss out on a few key areas, but we think it’s pretty cool to be able to work your way through the whole alphabet and just stay within the world of software development. Next month, 1001 aspects of application development and how you can implement them in your daily working schedule. Joke – ok?

Happy coding!
