Microsoft South Africa will be hosting a free seminar aimed at business decision-makers to demonstrate how organisations can meet the competitive requirements of a global market. The Microsoft in Industry (MIND) event will outline the business benefits of Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and Microsoft`s vision for database computing and data warehousing, in non-technical terms. This free seminar and exhibition take will take place at the Sandton Hilton on 8 March 1999.
"To retain a competitive edge, companies must react more quickly to customer needs, bring products to the market with greater speed and respond to changing business conditions," explains David Sieff, Microsoft South Africa SQL Server product manager. "To meet these demands, many organisations are developing a `digital nervous system` - a new approach that allows them to build on existing technology to create highly efficient, integrated systems that collect, manage, organise and disseminate information throughout an enterprise. This seminar will explain how this is possible."
To illustrate tangible business solutions, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) will be demonstrating some of their current business applications for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0.
"Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 is a major breakthrough for Microsoft database technology," says David Sieff. "It`s the complete business package, delivering scalability, reliability and ease of use that our customers have demanded from their business-critical applications."
Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 brings business advantage and improved decision-making to all levels of the organisation, enabling commerce, knowledge management and effective business operations. "This seminar has been designed to highlight the business benefits that Microsoft and its partners offer to South African business. We recommend this event for all business decision makers wanting to see workable business solutions that make a difference to the bottom-line," concluded Sieff.
