PROGRAM

At this Panel, Donald O'Toole and Scott Cosby discuss the impact of current and future technology on eBusiness. From Linux to GRID computing, Web services to e-sourcing, IBM Research & Development teams have embraced Internet standards to make a digital, border-free enterprise possible. IBM calls this future marketplace "Dynamic e-business" and it is part of IBM's perpetually unfinished eBusiness strategy to help customers solve their business problems. In support of "Dynamic e-business," IBM and its partners are providing flexible, innovative, and proven infrastructure which are focused on the transitions that organizations face during their eBusiness journey. Research indicates technology is now ready to help enterprises dynamically adapt business processes and associated systems to support changing business strategies and tactics. Mr. Allison and Mr. O'Toole will discuss these developments in the first hour. During the second hour, audience participants will have the opportunity to engage in a lively, knowledge exchange with the panelists.
