OMG's Integrate 2003 Wraps Up In
Burlingame, CA
The Object Management Group(OMG) successfully ran its second Integrate
conference--Integrate 2003--in Burlingame and will head to Boston, MA in
September.
The well-attended conference drew IT senior
management and professionals from around the country. Focusing on the business
and technical aspects of application integration using different
infrastructure standards, Integrate 2003 featured two keynotes, a CIO
Roundtable with speakers from Sun, Rational Software, Covad Communications, HP
and Telelogic AB and a J2EE vs. .Net debate between Microsoft and Sun. The
business and technological issues pertinent to an integration strategy were
explored in depth during the CIO Roundtable.
Sponsored by Rational Software, Integrate 2003 also covered such topics as
Web Services: Surviving the Transition, Data Integration Issues for the Large
Enterprise, Model Driven Architecture: A Solid Framework for Software
Development, and Enterprise Information Integration: 2003-04 State of the
Market, among others.
"The OMG conference was a productive technical event. Participants appeared
competent and well versed in their respective fields. They also seemed to
understand the business value of open standards at a strategic enterprise
level. Interactions with other attendees during and following conference
sessions were stimulating. We look forward to continuing some of those
conversations at Visa," said Joseph M. Bugajski, VP Data Interoperability for
Visa International.
Integrate 2003 will travel next to Boston, MA. The newly released dates for
the event are September 9 10, 2003. Program details will be available this
coming spring.
"OMG's second Integrate conference--Integrate 2003--in Burlingame went
above and beyond expectations with proof in a solid attendee list and the
positive feedback that was received during the event. Look for continued focus
on integration as well as new hot topics as OMG prepares the next Integrate
2003 program for this coming September," remarked Dr. Richard Soley, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of the OMG.
