February 9, 2007; 03:59 AM EXTOL International ( http://www.extol.com
) has been selected by the COMMON Conference education committee to
deliver educational sessions on business integration at the COMMON 2007
Annual Conference and Exposition in Anaheim, CA, April 29 - May 3,
2007. COMMON is the networking community, industry advocate and leading
education provider for System i (AS/400, iSeries and System i5) users
in North America. EXTOL is a leading provider of B2B integration
software applications for both internal and external collaboration.
The two sessions to be delivered by EXTOL are entitled, "Enterprise
Integration Patterns" and "Web Services." They will be presented by
Mark Denchy, EXTOL Product Manager, who has more than 20 years
experience in software application development and platform
integration. "These business collaboration technologies have become
"must-have" core capabilities for nearly every company," explains Mr.
Denchy. "The complex way businesses must interact for supply and demand
chain efficiencies necessitate their use. These sessions will give
COMMON attendees a good understanding of the related issues, and the
alternatives available to them."
"Enterprise Integration Patterns" will provide an overview of the
complex practice of enterprise integration, which requires a
multi-faceted understanding of process automation, data transformation,
communications and other technologies. Attendees will learn the
benefits of using integration patterns - reusable, best practice
solutions - to solve different classes of integration issues.
"Web Services" will reveal how companies can achieve near-real-time B2B
collaboration and internal application integration with Web Services.
The session will cover Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), how Web
Services complements integration platform services, and how it can be
used with other integration services to integrate trading partners.
At the conference, subject matter experts from around the world and
from IBM will deliver education on leading-edge System i technologies
such as SQL, RPG IV, DB2 for i5/OS, Java, Lotus Domino/Workplace and
many other technical topics. COMMON conferences have been recognized by
the IT industry as one of the highest-quality education conferences for
IBM mid-range users and developers. In addition to conducting the
educational sessions, EXTOL will also participate in the conference as
an Elite Exhibitor at booth #611.
