5th Annual Microsoft Financial Services Developer Conference
I'm looking forward to speaking at Microsoft's 5th Annual Financial Services Developer Conference on April 25th and 26th, 2007 - and of course hoping to meet up with the many interesting people I spoke with last year. This year we are a platinum sponsor, so we have an official speaking slot: Details below
The Financial Services industry is data intensive, and many organizations have a diverse, heterogeneous mix of large data stores. Financial Services IT infrastructures are diverse since firms are early adopters and they have conglomerate technologies based on M&A activity. It’s also an established fact that Sybase has been well entrenched on Wall Street. In order for Financial Services organizations to take full advantage of Microsoft’s .NET Framework and related development tools, developers and architects must account for the heterogeneous nature of their data sources.
In addition to supporting a heterogeneous mix of data sources, data centric applications demand highly optimized, discrete data connectivity components that can access your application data with a minimum amount of development and computing effort. In the .NET world, ADO.NET is the technology of choice for providing access to your VB.NET and C# applications. It is imperative that you architect a data access strategy so that your applications meet the performance/scalability, security, manageability requirements that your users demand.
The presentation will discuss the key ingredients of enterprise class data centric applications, including design, development, testing, deployment and on-going maintenance. Attendees will learn how to better maximize their application potential since the presentation will cover the latest and greatest .NET technologies from Microsoft and ADO.NET advancements from DataDirect.
And of course, don't forget to register.
