Tembo Technology Lab, southern Africa's master distributor of 'looksoftware', a dynamic application modernisation and integration solutions software for customers and application vendors, will host an Application Modernisation Seminar (AMS) on 10 March 2009, in Johannesburg, and 12 March 2009, in Cape Town.
Application modernisation (AM) is one of the top three strategic international trends listed by major international management and research houses such as Gartner, Forrester and Aberdeen.
“The AMS aims to discuss key business motivations behind application modernisation,” says Marinus Van Sandwyk, Founder and CTO of Tembo Technologies. “The seminar will provide technology neutral guidance on the various considerations when choosing technology partners through the use of practical examples based on international experience.”
Topics for discussion include:
* Why major IT and business management research houses identify application modernisation as one of the top three strategic imperatives.
* Why SOA (service-orientated architecture), SaaS (software as a service) and cloud computing are so important to modern business.
* What application modernisation is.
* What options and technologies are available to assist with application modernisation.
* How to gain maximum ROI from existing software investments.
* How to leverage disruptive technologies.
* How to implement multi-channel support for businesses.
* How to leverage existing applications and move to SOA without rewriting and/or redeveloping.
The event will be co-hosted by Edgetec, IBM, Info-Logic and 'looksoftware'. Top international speakers at the event will be Trevor Perry, a motivational speaker and a foremost global expert on application modernisation; Marcus Dee, CEO of 'looksoftware' Australia; and Nick Hampson, UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience) consultant from 'looksoftware”.
