https://www.interopmonth.com - January 18 – February 11, 2005

So remember in September when I talked about Interop Month? Well it’s happening. We've invited SUN, IBM, BEA, and folks who have worked on various open source development projects to talk about what it takes to make all the various vendor technologies to work in the customer environment. We’re bringing in some heavy weight industry experts as well to talk about and show how to make all this work together. We're going to do our best here to cover some fundamental interoperability issues. This isn't about who's technology is better or upgrading to the newest version of software, but how do we actually make this work together in a heterogeneous technology environment.

Some highlights you can expect:

· Information on managing a multi-platform data center

· Information on integrating Java with Windows applications and clients

· Using web services to extent the life of legacy systems and provide efficient information exchange and functionality

We’ve got a month-long webcast series for you that focus on interoperability – why it matters, what you need to know about Interoperability, common strategies and methods, and guidance on implementation between the major platform vendors.

This series will feature over 40 webcasts, Portable Media Centers as giveaways via random drawing from live attendees and evaluations, and brand-new technical guidance from Microsoft.

So pre-register at www.interopmonth.com to receive a reminder and final webcast schedule in mid-December. We didn’t get IBM or the open source guys to present this time... maybe next time…

George, MSDN Webcasts
