Enterprise Mash-ups: A New Approach to Empowering the Knowledge Worker

August 30, 2007:  11:00 a.m. PT / 2:00 p.m. ET

• Everybody’s doing the “mashup” thing, creating Ajax applications that pair a Google map with some weather feeds, movie times and restaurants.  But the question most IT organizations have is “How can I use “mashups” in the enterprise to solve real-world business problems?” In the business world there are real competitive advantages to be had for those companies who can figure out how to access the wide variety of enterprise and Web-based data sources available and then rapidly repurpose that data to create incremental business value and get more done.
  
  Join Kapow Technologies’ CTO, Stefan Andreasen and Nexaweb’s chief architect, Bob Buffone for answers to this question and practical tips on how to build “mashups” that deliver tangible business value.

ROI of Enterprise Web 2.0 with Forrester’s Ron Rogowski

September 20, 2007:  11:00 a.m. PT / 2:00 p.m. ET

• Enterprise Web 2.0 is NOT about making blogs, wiki’s, or RSS technology a part of your applications.  It IS about streamlining “swivel chair” application integration for end-users, making it possible for developers to build and maintain Web-based business-oriented applications, and helping one business unit leverage the UI components and data services of another to deploy a composite application to a sub-set of users. 

Join Forrester Research analyst Ron Rogowski, Torry Harris’ North American country manager Thiru Sivasubramanian, and Nexaweb’s COO David McFarlane to get the facts on Enterprise Web 2.0 — and learn how Global 2000 companies are re-using an average of 60% of their code to build Web applications that reduce network traffic by 90%, and are doing it 4 times faster than traditional development methods!

• This session introduces the declarative Ajax model as a solution to simplify Ajax development and maintenance.  Starting by looking at different programming models, and different levels of Ajax usage, the session addresses the following Ajax challenges:

-         Ajax requires sophisticated JavaScript/DHTML skills. How to reduce the skill set requirements so more developers can develop Ajax applications?
-         What are the solutions available for declarative Ajax?
-         What is the difference between server side and client side Ajax offerings?
-         Where does JSF fit?
-         How to make Ajax scale well to large, distributed team-based development projects.
-         Ajax lacks robust development tools in comparison to Java.
-         What are the community efforts that can help solve this problem and how to integrate multiple community projects to achieve higher productivity?
-         Further, how about visual drag-and-drop Ajax development?
