Orientated Architecture – Promises
vs Reality
Phillip Allen, Research Manager,
Vertical Markets,
IDC Australia
One would be hard pressed to find any IT
industry discussion today without mention
of SOA. But how much of this fervor is based
on vision versus reality? What stage is
the industry at in providing concrete offerings
today? And are vendor messages aligned to
where enterprises may actually be in their
course of embracing dynamic solutions enabled
by SOA? Graeme’s session looks at
• Rate of adoption for SOA and web
service
• Key areas of business and product
innovation
• Opportunities, risks and challenges
for vendors and enterprises.
• How SOA will potentially disrupt
the IT ecosystem and overall technology
consumption model.

Tales & Truths in Data Warehousing and
Business Intelligence
Chase Hacker,
Director, Business Intelligence, Asia Pacific,
Sybase, Inc,
Sybase
In this session, we'll explore the major
business drivers and themes in today's world
of data warehousing and business intelligence
systems. There has been both consolidation,
and diversification from vendors providing
products and solutions in these areas recently.
We will briefly discuss some of these trends,
and try to highlight what we feel is truth
versus fiction in today's competitive market.
We will also discuss how Sybase's direction
and vision for our Intelligent Enterprise
platform combines the best of many competing
approaches in a way that makes logical sense
for those who truly understand the market
landscape.

 Communications
Enabled Business Processes
Herman
Mills, Solutions Architect - Applications
Solutions,
Avaya South Pacific
When it comes to understanding your business
operations, one of the biggest challenges
you may face is not getting more information
about your business process — it’s
making smarter, faster use of the information
that’s already available.
Like most companies, you may have invested
heavily in IT infrastructures to gather
critical information from many sources about
your business process. But you still face
a major challenge when it comes to acting
on that information. Because your business
relies primarily on people to receive information,
analyze it and orchestrate the organizational
response, there are inevitable delays (or
latency) that can have a dramatic impact
on business performance.
Communications Enabled Business Processes
(CEBP) are providing a way for your business
to transform how you detect and respond
to critical events, with the goal of minimizing
latency and creating a more agile, responsive
organization. Find out more how this new
Business Process can provide you with a
competitive advantage.

  Disruptive
Technologies - Transformational Business
Models that Drive Competitive Advantage
and Bottom Line Results
Sheryl Moon, Managing Director, Australian
Information Industry Association,
Australian Information Industry
Association (AIIA)
We live in an era where the only business
is e-business. At the same time companies
across the world are changing the rules
of business through the use of technology.
Yet many Australian companies are failing
to leverage these opportunities. Our speaker
will discuss the innovation required and
how can Australian companies can participate
fully in the global economy.

 Driving
Business momentum through Technology change
Mr
Kiran Tailor,
Wipro
Limited
Growth is the order of the day of every
organisation.
As buisness grows, so does the applications
in an organization.
Managing disparate and non-standard applications
not only kills time & money but also
makes scalability and change management
a nightmare
By hosting all these applications and services
and bringing them under one umbrella makes
life much easier.
SOA & BPM will not only reduce maintenance
cost, but also enable standadization of
applications in an organisation.
Either the business needs or time will
bring the SOA transition for every organisation.
The sooner the better.
