Executive Briefing Series:

In today's environment of accelerating technological change, executives need solid information to understand the ever-changing dynamics of technology before committing resources in order to effectively leverage the benefits of applying such technology in the enterprise. These half-day seminars focus exclusively on new and emerging technologies, delivering a solid conceptual understanding of key strategic technologies and practical guidance designed to help managers, executives and decision-makers at all levels ask the right questions and make intelligent decisions concerning technology deployment and development strategies in a business context. In a concise, accessible format using real-world case studies and proven guidelines, our Executive Briefings answer your questions about the core nature, open issues, benefits, and pitfalls of adopting particular technologies to help assure successful deployment in the enterprise.


Ushering in a fresh approach of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), the Web Services paradigm enables a new generation of web-based applications, supporting true application-to-application communication, allowing enterprises a dramatically higher level of B2B integration, among many other benefits. This briefing cuts through the market hype to provide decision makers a true understanding of the strategic nature and status of Web Services technology and how to leverage it effectively.
