(Our speaker has supplied the
following)
Gartner Group has made the statement
that open source is "the
largest disrupter the software industry
has seen". To support
this observation, a recent survey of
the DBMS market, found that
66% of the respondents are using or
plan to use an open source
DBMS in the next 12 months. The
question still remains as to
whether an open source DBMS has the
necessary features to address
the needs of enterprise class mission
critical applications.
In his presentation, Dan will discuss
the open source DBMS
features most requested by CIO's and
industry experts to support
enterprise class applications. He will also discuss how the open
source model can be used in innovative
ways to address today's
business problems.
Dan Plaza is a Systems Engineer with
Ingres Corporation. He has
over two decades of industry experience
including positions as
systems architect, technologist, business
systems analyst,
instructor and programmer.
