Great LANSA Conference

If you did not make it to the LANSA conference this year, you really missed a great one. The venue was spectacular. I will post some more photos next week. LANSA always addresses my most important issues: Food, Entertainment and Education! (Yes, it is usually in that order).

I must tell you that the Education program developed this year was spectacular. A couple of the sessions that I attended that should be noted are:

SOA...David Brault was brilliant and made a very confusing subject quite clear.
WAMS Education....very well thought out (I ran out of time, but will complete at home). Not sure how many people were required to generate all of this documentation. However, I heard that Madden had a book signing.

Rumor has it that the 20th anniversary will be something very special! One popular idea is a cruise/conference. That has my vote! Hope to see you at the conference next year.

A special thanks to everyone that attended our Portlet Generator Session on Monday! If you need more information...call 513/977-4544.

Hope To See You at the LANSA Conference

We are 10 days away from the LANSA Conference in Las Vegas. I am extremely excited about the program, training sessions and of course the location. Rippe & Kingston will have a session Monday afternoon from 3:30 - 4:00 on WAMS and Portals within WebSphere as well as other portals.

It is always nice to see familiar faces and hopefully some new ones as well. This year we have three attendees: Thom Davidson, John Reuter and Kent Oldham. Be sure and say hello to them.

You still have a little time to register.

Business Continuity & Online Backup and Recovery Services

Working with LANSA and a lot of iSeries (AS/400, System i5) clients, we are frequently asked about business continuity services and the very popular use of online backup. As a result Rippe & Kingston has partnered with VAULT400. In our opinion, when it is time to seriously address your Business Continuity Needs you want a Premier Managed Service Provider...VAULT400 delivers Secure Online Backup and Recovery Services and Solutions.
