Office Business Applications Architect Forum - 13 September 2007, London
Office Business Applications are an emerging class of application that helps
businesses unlock the value of their line-of-business (LOB) systems and turn
document-based processes into real applications. Office 2007 has expanded off
the desktop embracing the concepts of SOA and leverage the fundamental shift
to combining software plus services. In this forum we will discuss the
architectural elements of the Office Technical Platform and discover how
these elements can be applied across several business scenarios.
Windows Server Security Architect Forum - 11 December 2007, Reading
Security, alongside reliability and interoperability, is central to
Microsoft's software design philosophy. Yet it is still an area where
Microsoft is perceived to underachieve. However, security is a very broad
term that can be used to describe a great many number of IT scenarios. In
this forum we will discuss the central role of security in the architecture
of Windows Server 2008 (codename Longhorn) in relation to Systems Management
scenarios such as web and application management, high availability, and
server virtualisation.
The Services Revolution Architect Forum - 19 February 2008, Reading
The first Internet-based services were delivered over the Web and consumed
in a Web browser. However, it is now clear that market demand exists for both
on-premise software and hosted services; and that such an approach is
necessary to deliver the seamless computing experiences home and business
users have come to expect. This approach, which Microsoft calls 'Software +
Services', is an additive model that goes beyond packaged software to give
customers increased flexibility and choice in deployment options. In this
forum we will explain the evolving story of the Software + Services world,
highlight the latest developments at Microsoft and in industry, and focus on
the effect this is having on both consumer and enterprise architectures
alike.
