Enabling the Strategy-Focused IT Organization with Balanced ScorecardRobert Gold, Balanced Scorecard CollaborativeWhy is the relationship between IT organizations and the business so often strained? Information Technology often focuses on reducing cost and keeping systems running while the business needs IT to emphasize value creation. To move beyond merely proving their competence, IT managers are using the Balanced Scorecard management framework to speed their organization's progress in becoming a true partner with business units in executing strategy. |

Overview of z/OS WebSphere: Understanding the Workload Glenn A. Anderson, IBM Learning Services WebSphere Versions 4.0.1 and the newly announced Version 5 both bring a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) runtime environment to z/OS, allowing you to now run EJB applications along with web applications (servlets and JSPs). If you want to performance tune your system, it is necessary to understand EJBs and J2EE along with what WebSphere looks like on z/OS, including its use of the infrastructure provided by z/OS (RACF, RRS, HFS,WLM). This presentation also includes a walkthrough on assembling and deploying EJB and web applications into the WAS V4 or V5 runtime. |

What could be better than learning about observing and measuring computer systems in a place dedicated to teaching about observing and measuring the heavens!
Please join us at the Planetarium to learn the latest about web services. You need a day away from the office. The location is beautiful. During the breaks and lunch you can discuss issues with your colleagues, or you can enjoy a walk around the Planetarium or stroll through the museum and gift shop.
