Application Lifecycle Management Executive Briefing
Registration Link: http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032370733&Culture=en-US
Business and technology executives and IT managers are being asked to do more with less. Maintenance of legacy systems and current technology support consumes vast amounts of a typical enterprise IT budget, leaving few resources to develop new standards-based, adaptive applications that meet the core needs of the business.
So how can you measure the real value of IT, and how can you ensure that it helps you effectively run your business? Your core business and your IT departments must unite, and your software initiatives must deliver measurable business benefits. To help achieve this, a common lifecycle management solution is needed to help you track, balance, and communicate the systems that are being created to effectively run your business.
Come join other IT industry leaders to learn how Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) provides a solution by addressing the overall alignment and synchronization of business goals and IT investment priorities.
Hear Proven Approaches to Implementing ALM
During this interactive session, you will learn how ALM brings:
· Stronger collaboration between business and IT, resulting in better alignment of IT and business goals.
· Increased accountability, enabling stricter compliance with governance initiatives.
· Improved project management, including better estimation, tracking, and reporting through a single, unified view of the project.
· Quality improvements, so the final application meets the requirements of your customers and quality of service requirements.
· Utilization of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to improve development contribution to the business

ArcReady Event: Architecting for Scalable & Usable Web Applications
In this session we will explore the patterns that typical applications follow as their scalability needs grow due to increased demand. We will also discuss best practices from companies that have gone up the scalability curve like Amazon.com, MySpace and Flickr. We will discuss the common bottlenecks that prevent scalability as well as how to tackle tough issues like state management in a application that is scaled across servers and even data centers. We will also discuss the “scale later” philosophy and how it should be accompanied by a solid plan to scale your applications.

Topic: Wow, that doesn't look like a SharePoint Site
Presenter: Jerry Sevier
Abstract:
Since Content Management Server 2002 has been Microsoft's only solution to Content Management for over six years, it has become less and less of a contender in the Content Management world. Now enters MOSS 2007, the new upgrade path for CMS 2002. We will review the ins and outs of the new features of MOSS 2007's CMS module. What's great, what just works, and the things that could work better. Find out if SharePoint is the right choice for you and your organization. We will dispel the myth that sites running on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 have to look like SharePoint Sites. You will see how to create robust, visually attractive sites in minutes and we will look at the code that makes it all possible
Speaker
