Canadian Technology Summit

    For the first time in our history, the Ottawa Sybase User Group (OSUG) held a two day event hosting many Sybase professionals, 3rd party vendors, user presentations, senior management participation, etc culminating in an event I would like to call the "Canadian Technical Summit". This event had two streams - one Data Management and the other Development. There was even a "cocktail reception" on the Tuesday night! The event covered subject areas such as: SMS messaging from PB 12.NET, Taking your PowerBuilder applications to the Web; Data Warehousing, Replication, Sybase and SAS, Data Modeling, Database Monitoring and Performance, ASE and PB tools, Product Futures, Mobility, etc just to highlight some key areas. On the Development side we saw evangelist John Strano showing us the latest PB 12.NET from engineering, best practices and another training session. For Data Management we had senior Sybase VP Brian Vink addressing key product futures, Mobility and presentations on comparing various Data Modeling approaches. We also had access to key Sybase technical staff from Canada and the USA to ask questions about Sybase products, interact with users utilizing the same technologies and gain key information into 2010 based products and features.
