At this Pub Talk, Mr. von Riegen will discuss the UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration) initiative and SAP's involvement. As announced on October 4th, SAP plans to become an operator for the UDDI Business Directory. SAP will build, run and maintain a global UDDI node. Existing operators include IBM, Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard. Both SAP and IBM are current Executive Sponsors of the Center. This type of collaborative initiative is what the spirit of the Internet Economy is all about! Come learn more about the UDDI Initiative, billed as the first true Yellow Pages for the Web, which seeks to make it easier for businesses to provide information about their products and services on the Web as well as locate partners and customers. In addition to learning more about SAP's role as an operator, come hear how SAP will let its customers register for the UDDI registry through its SAP Service Marketplace, integrating information from back-office systems into the registry. ABOUT CLAUS VON RIEGEN Mr. Claus von Riegen is the XML Standards Architect for SAP AG. He plays a major role in the definition of SAP's strategy for XML standards and was active participant of both ebXML and the Open Applications Group. Currently, he serves as Editor for the UDDI Data Structure Reference. Before focusing on XML, Mr. Von Riegen worked on many projects in application development, including data and object modeling, workflow management, interface design and distributed systems management. He holds a degree in Computer Science from the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany.

The technology exists. So why do so many businesses crash and burn when it comes to launching successful eBusiness strategies? Why do flashy Web sites send customers to a 1-800 number that can be accessed only during "normal" business hours? Why do executives who market toys and games refuse to listen to their own children? According to IBM's Internet guru, Mr. John R. Patrick, it's all about attitude!! Our inability to harness the full power of the Internet has much less to do with the technology itself than with the cultural and psychological barriers that straitjacket our thinking about it. In his book, "Net Attitude," he reveals the strategies and more important, the mindset, that will allow you and your company to flourish in the age of connectivity. Drawing from a wide range of examples from the worlds of business, technology, politics, education, and popular culture, during the first hour of this program, Mr. Patrick will explore the profound implications of adopting an Internet attitude and how it will transform you and your business. Audience participants will be able to interact with Mr. Patrick during the second hour in a facilitated, knowledge exchange. Mr. Patrick's book, "Net Attitude," can be pre-ordered through Amazon.com. ABOUT JOHN M. PATRICK Mr. John M. Patrick is Vice President of Internet technology at IBM Corporation. As IBM's chief Internet technology officer, he leads the company's efforts for the next generation of the Internet. Mr. Patrick is also closely involved in IBM's aggressive backing of the red-hot Linux movement. However, if you read between the lines of Patrick's official job description -- or have heard him deliver cutting-edge remarks at conferences throughout the world or read one of the many articles he's been featured in -- you'll see that John's unofficial title is Internet visionary. It is one of the reasons why Business 2.0 recently named him as one of the industry's most intriguing minds, and why Network World called him one of the 25 most powerful people in networking. Mr. Patrick was a founding member and is now the chairman of the Global Internet Project, a founding member of the World Wide Web Consortium at MIT in 1994, a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and a member of the Internet Society and the ACM. He is an advisor to several new Internet companies, including Lou Dobbs' and Sally Ride's Space.com and Mary Furlong's ThirdAge Media. He is also an advisor to IntraLinks and Neoteny, a new incubator in Japan. While at IBM, Mr. Patrick has created a number of innovative programs including the alphaWorks Web site, which is IBM's on-line research and development laboratory for advanced Internet technology, and IBM's successful "Get Connected" program to expand the use of the Internet both within the company and to serve as a model for other companies. Mr. Patrick joined IBM in 1967 and spent the first half of his career in various sales, marketing and management positions. He was a pioneer and developer of IBM's leasing business at IBM Credit Corporation, today the largest computer leasing company in the world. He was subsequently the chief financial officer of various business units of IBM and was also vice president of operations for IBM's Computer Integrated Manufacturing Business. In 1992, Mr. Patrick became vice president of marketing for Personal Systems and was responsible for creating the successful ThinkPad brand. He earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Lehigh University and an M.S. in Management from the University of South Florida. He also has a law degree (LL.B.) from LaSalle University, which he earned during his military service.
