To help your shout loud, we have created a new web-widget that you can use to post on your blogs, or websites to spread the word about Micro Focus World.
How do you do that?! Quite simple: Here is the widget below. At the bottom of it, click on the "Embed code" link, and copy the code in the window that pops up, and paste it on your webpage or blog - and, hey presto!
Oh yes - dont forget to sign up, the early bird offer is still on. Like Stephen Kelly says - "the most exciting technology event of 2009, it's not one for you to miss!
See you there!
Business Track update - Application Portfolio Management
0 comments Posted by Derek Britton at 09:19I 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.
Video Update: Stephen Kelly on MFW
0 comments Posted by Arunn Ramadoss, Head of Connections Program at 03:57The build up to MFW'09 continues! In this video recording hear Stephen Kelly, Micro Focus' CEO, discussing some of the compelling reasons why you can't afford to miss the 'most exciting technology event of 2009'.
I found the part on the agenda really exciting - "There are 7 tracks, with over 100 sessions to choose from...." and let's not forget the exhibition floor and the partners and sponsors, including Microsoft discussing their Azure Cloud platform, who are going to be there.
Let me step aside, and leave you to listen to Stephen directly:
My name is Derek Britton and I work in the Product Management organization at Micro Focus, on the Enterprise View product.
In the coming weeks and in the run up to Micro Focus World 2009, you’ll be hearing more from me and the conference team as we share with you our thoughts, ideas and your feedback on the plans for the conference. I’m going to help run the Portfolio Management track so any thoughts in that space are welcome.
First things first – you will be receiving invitations by email in the coming weeks, so be sure to register early and get yourself the early-bird discount we will have on offer. The date to mark in your calendars is 11-13 May, 2009, and the location is Dallas, TX.
Next we’ll also be planning plenty of activities for the conference, but we want to build it around YOU. So the point of the blog space, the closer interaction, and the extra planning time, is to allow you the opportunity to shape the agenda the way you want to see it. Any ideas are welcome, so I look forward to your comments! I’ll be writing to everyone in the near future with some outline thoughts, but all input is welcome, and the earlier the better!
I hope this blog will prove to be useful to you; I’m excited to be bringing you updates in this way as I hope it will be interactive, informative and hopefully easy to use!
