REFRESHMENTS, DOOR PRIZES, NETWORKING, and VALUABLE INFORMATION

This month's topic is Wireless. Is wireless something that's on your horizon? How does Sun manage access their intranet via a browser anywhere anytime? What technology gives you the capability to provide access to services, content and applications, dependant upon who you are, partner, customer or supplier, via one framework that can leverage your existing technology?

Iplanet E-Commerce solutions will present their portal technology framework. Iplanet's Portal advocate, Steven Jarosz, will be the keynote presenter of this technology. Please join us to see and hear about what is the infrastructure of Sun's over 100k employee intranet and is being used by over 150 service providers, enterprises and e-commerce customers today.

The iPlanet Portal Server is the industry's first fully realized portal platform for delivering personalized content, services, business processes, and applications to employees, suppliers, partners, and customers in a highly scalable, highly secure portal environment. It is also a key component of the Sun(tm) Open Net Environment (Sun ONE) which provides a framework for the creation, assembly, and deployment of smart Web services.

Please bring a friend along to encourage attendance. Thanks for your on-going support.
