InterSystems` annual regional conference, the InterSystems 2006 South African Symposium titled "Innovation at the centre of your organisation", will be held at the Park Hyatt in Rosebank, Johannesburg on 28 and 29 June.
"Targeted at partners and prospects, including Microsoft, MultiValue and Java developers, this event is the ideal place to meet InterSystems and fellow IT professionals who share a passion for rapid application development and high-performance applications backed by excellence in customer service," says Henry Adams, country manager for InterSystems SA. "Delegates will also have the opportunity to have a sneak preview of new product developments."
Highlights of the symposium include:
* Industry expert Willie Appel`s presentation on service-oriented architecture (SOA), its impact on the industry, and its relevance to business strategy.
* InterSystems product managers will present on the company`s value proposition for Microsoft developers. The latest InterSystems ADO.NET managed provider enables high-performance relational and object database capabilities through a single .NET client.
* A session for application development partners on targeting sales opportunities and InterSystems` role in the partnership.
* A presentation on Java. CACH'E and Ensemble interact with Java in a wide variety of ways. This session provides a sneak peek at some new Java support capabilities, including features designed to make InterSystems technology look like a "pure Java" environment to developers who prefer to use Java.
* A session on CACH'E for MultiValue developers. With its new capabilities of MultiValue data access and support for MV Basic, CACH'E, InterSystems` high-performance database provides a path forward for MultiValue developers who want to enhance their applications with modern technologies.
* A look at the InterSystems e-Learning Programme which provides online training in a format that replicates classroom interaction including full audio and visual components.
