Please join the IBM Competitive Technology Laboratory for a free, full-day

your IT infrastructure to be an on demand operating environment.  You will
see a broad view of IBM's integrated middleware and learn how the products
work together today to implement the IT infrastructure of an on demand
e-business that we call Friendly Finance.  You will see live demonstrations
of WebSphere, DB2, Lotus and Tivoli software and side by side comparisons
with demos of software from other vendors.  Come and see how IBM software
compares to offerings from Microsoft, BEA and TIBCO.

Time: 9am to 5pm and lunch will be provided.  (The agenda for the day is

Through a set of meaningful scenarios that drive business requirements, we
will explore various topics such as Web Services, supporting .NET, employee
and customer portals, collaboration, systems management, automated
computing, data management, performance and scalability.  We will also
discuss WebSphere Studio and Rational tools, their role in developing
applications and WebSphere Business Integration and how it can tie all of
your applications and systems together effectively and efficiently.

Would you like to know the answers to these questions?

      What is an on demand business and why should your company be one?
      What benefits will your company see when you link business needs with
      technology?
      How can you integrate disparate business and IT processes to gain
      business flexibility?
      Can technology help you reduce costs and increase business
      responsiveness?
      Can on demand redefine the way you acquire and manage computing?
      What is .NET and why is WebSphere a better server side solution?
      How can DB2 make all of your data appear as if it resides in a single
      place?
      How does Lotus collaboration software enable your business to be
      agile and efficient?
      How can Rational and WebSphere Studio tools double your developer's
      productivity?
      How can Tivoli systems management help you see IT and business goals
      as one?
      Which has better performance, WebSphere, .NET or WebLogic?
