I just wanted to notify readers of a few updates relating to the Business track for Micro Focus World '09.


First, one of the most notable overlaps in terms of Micro Focus' offerings is in the Application Portfolio Management space; we've been quite busy recently getting the latest release of our flagship product - Micro Focus Enterprise View, 5.6.3, out to our customers (see related article). Next, we're already looking forward to a further release early in the new year, and you'll hear more about that in the next issues of our In Focus newsletter (December's release will contain a few pointers prior to the release). If you aren't sure where to pick up In Focus - go here.


On the agenda for the business track itself, we've received some helpful input from some of our clients in terms of content suggestions, but we're always happy to receive more. Why not post your thoughts here? I was asked for my own views the other day - my views on why you should attend MFW'09. This was recorded in glorious technicolor! I think the conference team are planning to post the video on this site in due course - and apparently the camera never lies... but do take a look and let us know if you have any views you'd like to share.


Finally, we're ensuring we carefully consider the investments people have to make to join us in Dallas. So not only do we have the early bird discounts, but we are looking to add in optional technical training sessions for delegates who want to maximize the value of their trip. You'll be hearing more about that in due course too.


As ever, feel free to post any thoughts you have as we look to ensure the entire community has their say in MFW.
