Web Services for Technology Managers
presented by SYSTINET

This seminar is
targeted at technology managers that need to get up to speed quickly on
what Web Services are, how they differ from simple Web sites and other
Internet technologies, and how they can be applied to business issues.
The seminar will
include an overview of the various elements of Web Services technology
– including XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI,
together with application examples and a roadmap of standards
initiatives and future developments.
Invest just a morning
of your time to get ahead of the Web Services curve, then attend the
conference to find out how Wall Street is leveraging Web Services for
its next generation of IT infrastructure.
Anne
Thomas-Manes,
CTO of Systinet, and a leading
figure in the development of Web Services standards, will lead this
seminar.
