Cable &

two recent announcements with the Centers online community:
1) "Cable
& Wireless Achieves Gold Re-certification From Cisco Systems"
For further information (http://www1.cw.com/template_05.jsp?ID=mc_549july3102).
Cable &
Wireless has achieved Gold Re-Certification from Cisco Systems,
Inc. for its expertise in selling, implementing, and supporting
Cisco network solutions as part of the Cisco partner program. "The
purpose of our Certification Program is to build channel partner
expertise," said Nick Watson, Director of Operations, Unified
Channels organization, Cisco Systems UK & Ireland. "Gold
Re-Certification status provides strong recognition of Cable &
Wireless' ongoing commitment to delivering superior network knowledge
and customer service." The Re-Certification follows Cable &
Wireless' success at the Cisco EMEA Awards 2001, where it was named
'Global Service Provider and Reseller of the Year.'
2) "Cable
& Wireless Expands Product And Service Offerings With New Business
Continuity & Recovery Services"
For further information (http://www1.cw.com/template_05.jsp?ID=mc_548july2902).
Cable &
Wireless has introduced a suite of new Business Continuity &
Recovery Services that will be delivered by its Web hosting business
in the U.S., Exodus, a Cable & Wireless Service. The new services
offer a combination of consulting and dedicated infrastructure services
that enable organizations to avoid downtime of their mission critical
applications in any event -- planned or unplanned. These new solutions
standardize the most frequently requested services making deployment
more efficient and cost effective for customers.
THINK
TANK SESSION: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2002
"Business Applications and the Future of Web Services"
Invitation-only. 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Limit:
20 participants.
Web Services will undoubtedly change the way enterprises approach
business applications. The question is how? Standards created over
the last three years provide some guidance for companies, but standards
will not determine the future impact Web Services will have on the
way IT supports business processes. The needs of enterprises will
shape the development of applications.
The objective of this Think Tank Session is to focus on the needs
of enterprises, addressing why companies will change, how they will
adapt, and what they will do to maximize the potential of Web Services.
This Think Tank Session is part of a series during fall 2002 on
the strategies and future development of Web Services. SAP -- one
of the Silicon Valley World Internet Center's Executive Sponsors
-- will provide introductory comments at this Session by sharing
its strategic view on why Web Services has the potential to cause
a fundamental shift in the way packaged applications are developed,
deployed, and used. The session will explore whether most application
vendors are missing the next logical step between now and the "nirvana"
that Web Services promises to deliver to enterprises.
Application vendors, partner companies, and customers will come
together to participate in this active Session, where each participant
will be challenged to share thoughts and views on the future of
Web Services in the context of business applications for the next
36 month market horizon.
WORKING DEFINITION OF WEB SERVICES
For the purpose of this Think Tank Session, the working
definition of Web Services is as follows:
Web Services are self-contained, self-describing, modular applications
serving a particular business need that can provide integration
at the process or function level using open Web Services/Internet
standards (HTTP, WSDL, XML, SOAP, UDDI, et al).
