GOT YOUR LETTER ABOUT VERIZON BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY PHONE

GOT YOUR LETTER IN THE MAIL TODAY REGARDING SETTING UP OUR FARM WITH A VERIZON BUSINESS PLAN.
FIRST OF ALL LET ME EXPLAIN...
CURRENTLY WE CANNOT GET A SIGNAL AT OUR FARM. THIS OCCURRED WHEN VERIZON AND ALLTEL MERGED AND THE SIGNAL STRENGTH ON THE TOWERS WAS CUT/LOWERED DUE TO
LOCATION/OWNERSHIP OF THE TOWERS.
GRANTED WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR PHONES WE HAD SERVICE AT OUR FARM AND IN OUR HOME, BUT FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPROVEMENT OR CHANGE IN THE
STRENGH OF THE SIGNALS. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT THESE ISSUES
WOULD BE ADDRESSED... BUT SO FAR NOTHING - AND NOW YOU WANT TO OFFER US A BUSINESS
PLAN. WHO ARE YOU KIDDING??? UNTIL THE PROBLEMS YOU ARE HAVING GET STRAIGHTED OUT
AND WE GET A SIGNAL LIKE WE USED TO HAVE YOU CAN FORGET IT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE
OUR VERIZON PHONES WHEN WE "GO TO TOWN" BUT AS FOR AT HOME WE WILL USE OUR LANDLINES - THEY WORK NO MATTER WHAT!
IM SURE OTHER FOLKS FEEL THE SAME WAY IN THE RURAL AREAS... WE PAY FOR A SERVICE AND
DUE TO GREED IT GOT TAKEN AWAY.
THANKS!

I really wish that we had that Staples easy button in situations like this because it sounds like you have had quite the experience with your cellular signal. It is true that when we merged with Alltel and began converting cellular sites, some people noticed a difference with their signal strength; most people it was better, but few others noticed a decrease in signal strength.
If you have a farm, and are interested in having a cell site built on your property, we have a form you could fill out to have a cell site built on your property. All the details are at this link: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/real estate/index.jsp You can fill out the form and someone will look into it for you. This is entirely up to you of course. If you are not interested, ignore this link.
We have a second option that will get you indoor coverage. It is basically like a wifi router. It hooks up to an internet connection and broadcasts a cellular signal instead of a wifi signal. You can check out our indoor coverage solution at http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=gotoFemtocell
I hope this answers some questions about your coverage. If you would like some more specific info, please PM me with your number and best time to call.

Got a call from verizon to reistar my booster now phone calls drop

got a call from Verizon to registrar my Wilson booster . so i did and got confirmation now the signal is weak

In the phone settings, you can select which ways you will receive your iMessages. Settings - iMessage - Send and Receive I think.
As for Contacts, well, you have the same AppleID so your contacts in the cloud are the same. Were your contacts just on your phone before? Maybe hers were in the cloud and yours were only on your phone?
EDIT: if yours were only on your phone before, you can turn off the iCloud account in Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Let people know about skype business idea

My name is Mohammad I am from Iraq I am a registered member in Skype. I would like to suggest an idea about making business with skype, since we have alot of companies here in Erbil who don't know about skype cheap calls. I would like to suggest to deal with a company in Iraq who can advertise about skype and introduce it to people and make charging cards to sell it in Iraq. I will be glad if you are interested in this kind of business.

Open Letter to Verizon Wireless

Dear Verizon,
     I have been a loyal customer of yours for about 11 years now. You have been my only cell phone service carrier since I was 16 years old. You have been able to keep me with you because of your customer service and your coverage areas. However, I feel that we have just grown apart these last few years. .
     You see, though your service fees have always been higher than the competition. I was always able to justify the expenditure because of your excellent coverage, unlimited data plan, and excellent customer service. There was a time when my phone was broken and I was still months away from getting an upgrade, but you allowed me to do so anyway. That is great customer service. I cannot tell you how many times I have been out in the middle of nowhere lost, yet still had service to use the GPS to guide me back home. That is excellent coverage. In addition, your unlimited data has provided me with access to the internet and netflix when I could not afford cable which has been extremely valuable.
     However, I just do not think you love me anymore Verizon. It all started a few years ago when you decided you did not want to provide your customers with unlimited data. I was able to upgrade my phone to 4G and was still grandfathered in, so you didn't hurt me too much. Then, you decided that you were not going to honor grandfathered data plans with phone upgrades, which stung all the more. Now, you have decided that you no longer love me by throttling the data for those of us who are still grandfathered in. You say it's not throttling, but let's call it what it is, throttling.
     I spoke with your customer service (which as I mentioned has always been 5-star), and I was trying to see what I could do to lower my monthly bill. To my dismay, I found that I have only two options: 1) upgrade my phone and receive a new 2 year agreement, or 2) buy a new phone with Verizon Edge, either upfront of have my payments spread across 20 months, and pay roughly the same amount as the 2 year agreement price. Both of these options will cost me roughly the same amount of money that I currently pay. In addition, I asked if I could keep my existing phone and get the cheaper Verizon Edge plan, but I was told that is not an option. In essence, to continue to do business with Verizon, I will be forced to pay for a product I don't necessarily need. I feel like President Obama is in charge of your company now, requiring everyone to buy what he mandates. There's no freedom of choice, and as a son of a Veteran, I truly value freedom.
     You see, up until now I have been able to justify your high prices for service, coverage, unlimited data... but I just cannot be in this relationship anymore. I know you've tried to woo me back with "Unlimited nationwide calling and text messaging." The truth is, I've never used more than 100 minutes on the phone, and I already paid a premium to have unlimited text messaging... and I was ok with that. To be perfectly frank, what I'm saying is that your new plans suck and add absolutely no value to me. In fact, I would say your new plans have much less value to me now than before. I get much less than I had before (as I stated, your "unlimited nationwide calling" adds absolutely no value to me), and my rates will not go down, it's baffling.
     I just wanted to let you know that I will now be acquiring internet, a much cheaper plan with another carrier that has unlimited nationwide calling, text messaging, and enough data to satisfy my needs, and a carrier that provides coverage where I need it. I will be getting all of these things for less than I am paying you now (and less than I would have to pay with your new plans). So I guess what I'm saying is that I am breaking up with you. It hurts me, but I know you care more about your bottom line than customer loyalty, and I can understand that. I am a proponent of capitalism. However, I am also a believer in free markets, and I believe (and I think other long-time customers will soon find out) that you now offer an inferior product based on price. Because of your short sighted plans to raise revenue when the overall economy is down, you will hurt yourself more than you will help yourself in the long run. I am only telling you that because I care. It has been a good ride, but I must now leave you before you lure me back in with false hope of ever getting better.
Sincerely,
Paul H.

Amen to this wonderful letter!!! I have been with Verizon wireless FOREVER!!! They were wonderful---key word being WERE!!   I can't count how many times & ways I contacted Verizon 2 weeks prior to my phone upgrade date---only to be told each time that I could not upgrade 2 weeks early (my phone at the time was deemed useless). Had to wait for THE date. Well, I went to a Verizon store several days before THE date and surprise..... the salesman let me upgrade my phone!! He could NOT believe that the phone reps or computer "chat" reps would not allow me to upgrade! Well, I did the upgrade for myself and my son (Samsung S4 for me and S5 for my son). I almost passed out when the salesman told me how much I owed!!   What shocked me was the "line activation fee" for the 2 phones we purchased!!   WHAT??!! Line activation fee???   The lines were already activated!! OMG Verizon----- you are getting to be just as bad as Time Warner Cable!!!

I got scammed, too. Verizon lies.

I also feel scammed by Verizon. My husband I sent our perfect IPhone 4s phones back to Verizon . Although we have yet to hear back about my husbands phone, mine was appraised at $76. The reason? The Sim tray was missing! The instructions were to take out the Sim card, but never said to put the tray back . It doesn't matter, after reading all the posts on this web site it doesn't matter, people are not getting the money that was promised. One person on this board got results from the Better Business Bureau, so I am going to try that. Still, with all these complaints you would hope Verizon would try and make it right. The obviously don't give a ****.

That is one expensive little piece of plastic.
However, I don't buy your "I didn't know you were supposed to put the SIM tray back" line. That would be like not putting the battery cover back on if you were told to remove the battery (as you can on many phones, just not iPhones) and send it back. It is a piece of the phone and the phone has an obvious hole in it without the cover.
Sorry you are not in the category of everyone else. You did nto send the phone back intact, and you paid the price. This is not a Verizon lie, just an expensive life lesson.

What a long time, loyal customer hates about Verizon.

I've had Verizon since the early 2000s, and don't plan on changing that any time soon. But only for one reason: coverage.
Everything else? Phones, customer service, etc? Abyssmal, and always has been. Not to mention their ditching of decent data plans, yet they offer loads of free cloud storage. Really?
I have a Note 3. Its awesome. But every phone I've ever had has always been last on the update block, even if it's brand new. They always load crap onto them, lock them up, dump features they don't like, and make it impossible to really experience your phone how it was advertised.
I will never go into a contract with them again either. I have my unlimited data still, and the day they try and take it, I'm gone, as that and coverage are the only things keeping me.
Don't get me wrong. When I say customer service I don't mean the people. Most of their employees are great. What I mean is what they offer customers and how they milk us for money, yet we don't get the quality of a decent phone experience as payment.
The phone is, and should be, the absolute priority. The market revolves around it. It is the reason for the market.
So this is my question: Why can Verizon not just give us phones with removable bloatware and decent update schedules? Not to mention unlocked bootloaders.
It doesn't make sense to me from a business perspective. Their competitors can only compete in the phone quality ring. Verizon already won the coverage fight.
So, why can't Verizon JUST LIBERATE OUR PHONES? Their competition would be nailed by it, people would flock to Verizon, and old customers would return. Heck, they could probably still get away with their data cost robbery.
Look. I love Verizon for their coverage. Their phones are great, but when Verizon gets their hands on them, kills updates, locks development, and dumps bloatware that nobody wants onto them?
Verizon works for the customer. If their phones reflected that, they would be king.
So. Why not? Please tell me.
-Partially satisfied, loyal, extremely critical customer.

Abosultely Crazy. You know what is funny is currently I work for Verizon but I have my S4 through T-Mobile. I seriously dislike the service that I get but I need unlimited data due to me averaging 12GB per month. I have been at a crossroad for quite some time now because I want to get the Galaxy S5 but through T-mobile I will need to pay Full Retail Price and get poor coverage. Granted, I live in Metro-Detroit and I have amazing LTE service at my home and everywhere I go which would be work and back. Ha. If I leave the big city I immediately lose coverage. I got 4.4 about 1-2 weeks ago. I can't remember the exact date, it is pretty nice. Not a whole lot changed really. Built in Emojis are enjoyable.

What's your strategy for learning Java technologies?

Or, in other words, how do YOU acquire knowledge that is necessary for implementing Java technologies?
After having spent one-and-a-half years developing an enterprise app, I've gained lots of knowledge about Java and some surface knowledge about its related technologies (JBoss, Hibernate, Ant, XDoclet, NetBeans and probably some others I can't think of at the moment).
I'm now realizing that -- although the standalone prototype version of my program is growing mature -- I've still got lots to learn for refactoring it to a web platform. For example, I 've done small test projects using Servlets, but haven't done any work with JSP (or HTML for that matter) yet.
Now, I'm sure I can learn JSP etc., but the questions I ask myself are: how long will it take?
It's a rhetorical question of course (I don't expect an answer from you, the reader) However, it's an important issue because the months or years I spend fumbling around learning these new technologies, are time I could otherwise spend on the business logic and functionality of my program.
So, how do you guys acquire knowledge of technologies? Official training perhaps? Or do you simply experiment until it works? Or do you rely on your company's knowledge base (e.g. someone in your company knows how it works)? Or do you get prototypes built from someone who already knows how it works?
I�m really curious about this and would appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks in advance,
P

Well, it seems like most of you simply read the
various texts and try the vendors' examples. I'm
surprised that no one mentioned ever having bought a
prototype application from the onset. "bought"? What's that mean? You don't buy prototypes. You download evaluation versions, maybe.
I try to find sample code and tweak it to see the effects. Otherwise, I start writing small sample code an build on that.
I consider myself a reasonably competent core Java
programmer, but I had serious difficulty configuring
and merging its related technologies. There were so
many disjointed pieces of instructional information
that the additional research time really hurt our
budget severely. Not an uncommon thing, I'm sure. There's a lot of stuff. But don't bother learning all of it. Not in detail, at least. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the names of packages/libraries and what they do. But only really learn what you need to learn for what you need to do. The next project you will probably need other things, so you learn them then.
bsampieri,
I've setup Tomcat and tried the examples--in fact, I
normally follow tutorials for all products I hope to
use. Problem is, the examples and tutorials never
address my specific needs. So, I usually inch toward
my goal by spending weeks or months in forums to
continue where the tutorials leave off. Anything complex is going to not be there.... the trick is to identify pieces that you can pull out to build more complex apps. And the fact that JSP/servlets have the issue of being compounded by all the HTML/CSS/JS and HTTP protocol ... I don't want to say limitiations, exactly... Well, it just makes things more complex and harder to know what you need.
Perhaps you guys are much faster and smarter than
I...or you have a much bigger budget :)Probably not... on either account.

Can I unlocked an iphone 4s from Verizone to Movistar Phone Line?

Dear, can you help me with this please?
I have an Iphone 4S. I want to know if This is Unlocked, or If this is Locked, and also I wonder, If my Phone is Locked, can I unloked, or can you unlocked If I get you the model and all the information about it. It is an Iphone 4S from Verizone.I am from Nicaragua, and want to use the phone here with Movistar phone line.
Please let me know, what can I do about it, I my phone is locked, Please let me know If I can unlocked this, or If you can do it.
Thank you for your time and help.
Best Regards.
Juan M.

If the phone is already associated with a service provider then it is locked to the provider. Contact them about unlocking your phone.

A question about Verizon landlines

I am thinking about switching my home phone to Verizon from Comcast because whenever I lose electricity my phone doesn't work. (The backup battery from Comcast is useless.) Does Verizon still use old-fashioned, actual, physical phone wires? Or do they only use modems and battery backups for new subscribers? Thank you.

I thought I also had a copper POTS line with FIOS but learned that it is not possible. I have been paying for years for a "copper" phone line with my FIOS service but a tech came out this week and informed me (and showed me) that it is not true. It is all digital and if the power goes out your "copper" line will not work any longer than the battery back up lasts.
Call them up. Speak to a supervisor and they will confirm to you that your "copper" line does not in fact exist (if you also have FIOS).
There are terminology issues here that should be addressed, in particular the phrase "copper phone line with my FiOS service." It certainly is possible to have both a "copper" POTS line and a FiOS VoIP line at the same time. I know this is true because I have such an installation at my home, with 2 separate monthly invoices to prove it.. I made it a requirement of my FiOS purchase that the original POTS line be maintained and that no changes be allowed to that arrangement.
However it is not possible to have a single FiOS-based telephone line that uses copper wiring coming INTO the home from the street, although telephone wiring inside the building will normally run on Cat3 copper wires. What your installation had, from the time you first had a FiOS optical cable installed in your home, is a fiber-based system with a VoIP line. This telephone system sends packets over the Internet. It is not, never was, and simply cannot be, "copper-based."
It also seems unlikely that a cabal of employees at Verizon held a meeting and conspired to "defraud" you about "copper FiOS." More likely you misunderstood the technology from the onset.. This is unfortunate because the introductory literature both online and in FiOS promotional material clearly describes the basic technology, battery backups, fiber cables, etc. If you later ask the company to re-install copper wiring and provide a POTS line, you will most likely find that they will not do it in your area, or that the charge will be out of proportion to the value.

After filling out survey, I immediately got a call about bill discount.(Phishing?)

I got an email from [email protected] that asked several questions about my new GS4 phone. I never filled out any forms online about receiving my new phone so I am assuming the survey was legit. Immediately after I completed the survey I received a call from (800-888-9595) with a recorded message to visit vzw355.com to receive a free discount of an entire bill. When visiting the site I get an alert (Chrome browser) that this is a reported phishing website. Is there a known issue with this process, and was the survey from a legit partner? Any feedback or details would greatly be appreciated.

rlc_10993,
We're glad you posted this and advised us of it. I can see why you're concern, I would be too. This is definitely not an email we send out, the email address is not ours. I will certainly forward this to the appropriate department so we can stop this from reaching other customers. Please, do not provide any account information and if you have, change it so your account remains secure. In addition, any offers on your account will be mailed to you or notifications in your My Verizon account.

I just join Verizon and my phone drop on price and the employee told me i cannot get my money back only a credit to the account

so i just got new service with Verizon on the 4 of July and the phones when on sale or should i say drop in price i return to the store to get the different back . i call verizon nice lady told me i will be able to get my money back just go to a verizon store. I came into the store i didn't want the money back i just wanted more things for the phone like the cool mophie case gold to match my phone she come back out after 30 minute of me waiting to tell me im sorry but we cannot give you your money back and i ask her why im still with in the 14 day return period and was told that i can get the different back i try telling her that all i wanted to do is get the case and the different she can put to the account. she kept saying no it cannot happen so i ask to speak to a manger and she would not come out she stay in the office and the lady that was helping me was just going back forth with me and the manger i told her i would like to cancel the service and i just go back to my old phone company she wouldn't cancel the service with me told me now the manger would put a credit to the account and i can order the case that way with really don't make sense to me if you can credit my account why is it i cannot get credit for my case today and i really don't know as she kept saying to me, i didn't want a credit to my account i want my case .

Business Application Guru Max Dolgicer Speaks at Business Technology Summit

Max Dolgicer has more than 25 years of management and technical experience in development and support of Business applications, software products and systems internals. An internationally recognized expert, Max is Technical Director and principal at International System Group, (ISG) Inc a leading consulting firm that specializes in design, development and integration of large-scale distributed applications using leading edge Middleware technologies. Max is coming to Business Technology Sumit 2010 (www.btsummit.com) to speak about all things SOA, on 12 November at the NIHANS Convention Center in Bangalore. At the summit, Max covers the following sessions:
* Managing the SOA Evolution: once a company has completed initial SOA projects, the number of deployed services increases such that the key question no longer is how to build services, but rather how to efficiently govern the development and operation of services on an enterprise scale. The focus of SOA shifts to reusability, securing how a growing number of clients access the services, and assuring that Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are met, to name just a few issues. At this point companies run the danger that a "free for all" environment proliferates, and the benefits of SOA cannot be realized. The key is to introduce SOA governance before services spin out of control. Managing the evolution of SOA into the cloud with the correct governance is the next challenge. This keynote will address: typical categories of SOA projects, how SOA Maturity Models and governance relate, and how SOA governance needs to be extended when we move applications into the cloud
* A ROI Calculator for SOA: let the Numbers Do the Talking: there are many pro and very few con arguments from an engineering perspective that make us believe that SOA is a superior approach for most application development and integration projects. However, nowadays we typically won't get away with brilliant technical arguments to justify the transition to SOA. In most cases we will have to convince the CFO that there is a positive bottom line result. This presentation outlines a ROI model for application development based on service reusability in a SOA. It describes how the cost effect of reuse can be calculated during the development and the maintenance cycle of a portfolio of service oriented business applications. The model is based on metrics that have been widely accepted throughout the IT industry. The model will then be illustrated by a project where multiple business applications have been developed within a SOA that employs a foundation of reusable services. This presentation will show an overview of a project that is used as an example, a popular ROI model that is the basis for the ROI calculation, and the application of the model to determine concrete monetary savings.
* Defining a SOA Roadmap Based on SOA Maturity Model: once a company has completed initial SOA projects, the number of deployed services increases and the key question no longer is how to build services, but rather how to efficiently manage the development and operation of services on an enterprise scale. What is needed is a concise roadmap that guides the evolution of SOA such that IT can deliver the right value at the right time to the business. This roadmap has to address multiple dimensions of IT: architecture, development processes, applications, information, etc. This presentation will outline a model against which the degree of service oriented maturity of an organization can be assessed, and a process (i.e. the roadmap) for assessing the current and desired degree of service maturity of an organization and for developing a plan for how to get to the target state. This presentation will show: what SOA Maturity Models exist today?, walkthrough of the levels and key elements of each level, developing a custom SOA Roadmap and project example for mapping a Maturity Model to a Roadmap.
* Service Oriented Integration (SOI): doing Integration the Right Way: IT managers have been under increasing pressure to migrate a portfolio of independent “stovepipe” applications to an integrated set of business services that can be aligned with changing business requirements and support new business processes faster and with reduced cost. Today, corporations have to choose from a number of integration products (e.g. Enterprise Service Buses) that have quite different capabilities, never mind different architectures and standards. This seminar starts with a comparison of SOA and event based architectures and then outlines the key issues and guidelines that architects should consider when defining an integration architecture based on services. The key point of the seminar is a case study that illustrates how SOA concepts have been applied in a real project. It explains the key architectural and design decisions that produced an integration architecture and a set of services that were reused beyond one particular project. This presentation will show: drivers for Service Oriented Integration (SOI), comparing SOA to Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), how to evolve from Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) to SOA/EDA to SOI, and applying SOI in a project example.
Max is a contributing editor for Application Development Trends magazine and recognized instructor and presents extensively at major industry conferences including Gartner's Web Service and Application Integration conferences, Sys-Con's Web Services, XMLOne, XMLDevCon, JavaDevCon, e-Business Integration, Java Expo, Component Development, GIGA's Middleware Choices, and Comdex.

Back up Assistant lost all my business contact phone numbers

Saturday My Droid 3 that had already been difficult to use because it would not keep a new phone contact and would freeze in emergencies (I am talking get an ambulance, input a doctor's number while standing in the emergency room, or in business meetings, occasions like that) started losing the screen, it would go black if I opened the keyboard and then freeze with a black screen, continuously. It would not respond to attempts to turn it off. I took out the battery for a minute and put it back in and rebooted only to have the same thing happen over and over if I tried to use an app, make a call, view picture gallery, whatever. So I took my phone to the Oklahoma City, OK Verizon Wireless Store #331769 for CUSTOMER SERVICE. I showed the sales people my frozen black screen phone and that the back was broken and was being held on only at the top and by the neoprene case. They took the battery out and put it back in and declared my problem solved and told me that my phone was like a computer and needed to be turned off once a day and kept charged. I assured them that I was aware of this and that I did turn it off and let it reset and I charged it up every night and sometimes in the day as needed. The FIRST SOLUTION was to reformat the phone which WIPED ALL INFORMATION AND APPS OFF OF MY PHONE. I let them do that and they sent me home with it to replace all my information and apps.
Now I come to find that ALL MY BUSINESS CONTACT PHONE NUMBERS ARE MISSING from using Back Up Assistant. This is critical for my work!
ALL CONTACT INFORMATION was missing on my online account! Why would that happen? I will synch what is left on my phone to my BACK UP ASSISTANT account online.
I still haven't transferred the sim card to my "replacement phone". How can I insure that I don't lose all my contact information again???
I am going to Verizon Wireless Store #331769 for CUSTOMER SERVICE directly after work. If they lose my business contact information and phone numbers, I will be forced to re-enter 200+ contacts before I leave to go out of state for work tomorrow..
Any suggestions for a positive result?
THE CUSTOMER SERVICE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!

Hello Drucatic
I'm sorry you were not able to get the contacts back. I know how irritating it would be to reload all those contacts.Were the contacts synced with the Gmail account? Please try backing it up with Gmail. Are you able to log in online at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon ?If so, Please log in and check the trash the contacts may of accidently been moved.
Thank you

SOA In a Day at India's Most Influential Business Technology Conference

Business Technology Summit 2010 – India's First, Largest and Single-most Inspirational Technology Show
Bangalore, July 12, 2010: Businesses are organizing themselves with Service-oriented architecture (SOA). SOA moved from exploration and experimentation to pilots and deployment, with businesses understanding that SOA adoption betters data integration, enables legacy application integration, improves flexibility of application development, integrates dissimilar, departmental applications and reduces costs. SOA is addressed in a full-day conference at the 2010 edition of Business Technology Summit. The summit will be held 12 November at the NIMHANS Convention Centre in Bangalore.
Centered on the theme Shaping Your Enterprise for New Business Realities, the third edition of India's annual summit for business technologies features two important and relevant tracks – SOA (12 Nov) and Cloud Computing (11 Nov) – to empower you with the necessary know-how for your applications and your company to prosper in this climate, now and into the future. The following tracks are covered in the SOA conference on 12 November:
•    BPM in Practice: in this track, learn how to harness BPM as an essential part of an overall strategy that touches both the IT function and the operational imperative. You will learn about Process Discovery and Modelling, Process Execution, Process Monitoring and Optimisation, among others.
•    SOA Case Studies: you will learn from the wisdom, experience and passion of expert SOA practitioners who have been there and done it all too well. If you believe there is no alternative for actual experience, this is the track for you.
•    SOA Integration: this track discusses how SOA and related technologies - middleware, application integration, BPM, BAM, governance technology, application platforms, application development tools, data integration, MDM, multienterprise B2B tools and services, Web 2.0, cloud and others - can help your organization efficiently support the challenges and leverage the opportunities ahead.
•    SOA Deployment & Management: successful SOA Deployment Requires Effective SOA Management. In this track you will learn about balancing flexibility and control within an SOA, managing SOA application service levels, performance and availability, among others. You will also learn how combining SOA governance with time tested techniques of managing applications enables you to achieve the increased flexibility and decreased cost that you need from your SOA initiative.
