Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?

By Roger Strukhoff

Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Powerbuilder.NET, Expression Blend, Mobility and the Cloud

The capital architect program is a tool to calculate a financial planning for weathy individuals. A formerly rather dull Excel program has been converted to an attractive professional tool, available anywhere anytime, on almost any platform. (Android, iOS, Mac OS, Windows and more...). How did we achieve this? PowerBuilder.NET!
The result is a tool able to simulate and analyze certain financial situations on a "what if" basis. Users can create a projection of their financial situation in any given year, taking into account parameters including interest rates and real estate. This session will show you how this mobility solution was achieved using PowerBuilder.NET, MS Expression Blend and Cloud.
Presenters: Dimitri Joosten and Peter Loozen

Let Users Customize Screens & Reports by Themselves

When many users request different changes, you cannot duplicate and adapt the application for each of them: maintenance would soon become impossible.

This webinar will show how to make the application "customizable" by the end-users themselves.
They would use simple tools to define changes, without viewing or modifying your code, and you would keep maintaining and deploying a single copy of the application.

This solution will be illustrated with concrete examples and case studies.
We will also include information allowing attendees to calculate the ROI of the solution, including software and material costs and implementation times.

Presenter: Christophe Dufourmantelle

Enjoy ... Chris
