Herring on the Enterprise Conference Examines the Future of Corporate Networks - 08:20 a.m. Apr 13, 1998 Eastern SAN FRANCISCO, HERRING ON THE ENTERPRISE, April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The Red Herring gathered more than 300 enterprise solution providers, CIOs, business development, IT, and financial executives this week to participate in its first-annual Herring on the Enterprise conference, April 6-7 at the Ritz- Carlton hotel. Novell CEO Eric Schmidt opened the event describing the "new face of networking," while Eric Benhamou, CEO of 3Com, outlined ten industry transitions for creating end-to-end connectivity. As a business strategy conference, Herring on the Enterprise is designed to give CIOs and CTOs an idea of the technology changes that will matter most to them in their business decisions. Eric Schmidt gave attendees a ten-thousand-foot view of the networking industry, discussing the five rules he believes will govern the evolution of the enterprise: 1. The Web changes everything. 2. Bandwidth demand is insatiable. 3. All data and voice will be on IP. 4. Fiber optic capacity doubles every 12 months. 5. All computing will be networked. "When we finally put this all together, the rate of change is going to be profound," Schmidt stressed. In his keynote address, Eric Benhamou called for a strategic alignment between public and private networks, saying that the migration to converged networks will be the most powerful driver of the IT industry for the next several years. He also explained ten major transitions that he believes must take place in the networking industry for end-to-end connectivity, including the transition to public access networks and the transition from an enterprise carrier-only market to small business and consumer markets. "Herring on the Enterprise was extremely successful in laying out the future of the corporate enterprise" said Rafe Needleman, The Red Herring events editorial director. "Giving enterprise technologists a road map for the future while, offering practical insights on everything from E-commerce to Java helps them with the decisions they must make today -- that will greatly impact their businesses in the future."
