specifying technology solutions and are interested in how Java technology for the enterprise and distributed computing can
impact their bottom lines. Customers wanting to obtain the most current and pertinent resources and information on the
business benefits of Java technology as an enterprise computing platform should attend this seminar. Other topics that will be
addressed include understanding how a Java application platform can enhance productivity and time to market, speed
