TIBCO Corporate and Technology Analyst Briefing at TUCON2012

IBM Vision for BPM, ODM and SOA
Opening day at IBM Impact 2012 (there were some sessions yesterday, but today is the real start), and a good keynote focused on innovation. The wifi is appalling – if IBM can’t get this right with their messages about scalability, who can? – so not sure if I’ll have the chance to post any of [...]

CASCON Workshop: Accelerate Service Integration In Your BPM and SOA Applications
I’m attending a workshop at the first morning of CASCON, the conference on software research hosted by IBM Canada.
