Guest Executive Forum: Microsoft Corporation — Making Better Platform Decisions
When Microsoft? When Linux? When UNIX? In today's changing enterprises, critical IT often evolves into an organic mesh of applications and services running on a mix of UNIX, Linux, and Windows platforms. In many scenarios, the customer is left to integrate it all — a job that can often be labor-intensive, unreliable, and costly. Through the power of software, Microsoft is uniquely positioned to help IT organizations reduce complexity by providing solutions for all stages of the IT life cycle. Does your organization consider all the factors it should in making well-informed platform decisions? Come listen to Microsoft's General Manager of Platform Strategy, Martin A. Taylor, take on these issues in an executive Forum speech at GigaWorld, May 4 at noon.
