JackBe Joins Web 2.0 Keynote Panel at ''New New Internet'' Conference

September 18, 2006; 09:03 AM

JackBe, the premier provider of Rich Enterprise Application (REA) products and services that leverage the strengths of Ajax and SOA, will participate as a Platinum Sponsor in ExecutiveBiz's New New Internet Conference. Taking place on Sept. 20, 2006 in Tyson's Corner, VA, this is the only major event in the mid-Atlantic area this year exclusively devoted to Web 2.0. In addition to JackBe CTO John Crupi, speakers include Dion Hinchcliffe, founder and CTO of consulting firm Hinchcliffe & Company; TechCrunch's Michael Arrington; Harvard Business School's Andrew McAfee, and all-stars from companies including Microsoft, Google and Jobster who will discuss the game-changing trends of the Web 2.0 era.

Crupi will participate on the keynote panel entitled "Where is 'Web 2.0' Taking Business - And Where Will Business Take 'Web 2.0'?," moderated by Dion Hinchcliffe. As the principles and concepts of Web 2.0 continue to take root in consumer applications, adoption within the enterprise is, of course, likely to follow. Crupi and other leading minds in the Web 2.0 space will draw on their significant experience to discuss many of the lingering questions on the minds of enterprise users:

-- Are mashups viable as a way to consume enterprise software?

-- Can mashups transform traditional business models?

-- What role can wikis play inside and outside the firewall?

-- What are the business implications of Software as a Service?

-- What's the business impact of the 'the long tail'?

"Ajax technology is the secret to delivering desktop-like interactivity and usability within Web-based applications," said Crupi. "Just as Ajax has become a pivotal enabling technology for consumer-facing Web 2.0 applications, we believe that Ajax in combination with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and solid governance will empower enterprise users with those same Web 2.0 benefits. We look forward to participating on this well-versed panel to discuss the impact of Web 2.0 technologies within enterprises."

JackBe to Participate in Technology Showcase

In addition to speaking and exhibiting at the event, JackBe will participate in the Technology Showcase. The company will demonstrate breakthrough Web 2.0 business applications built with its products, including the new 'Overwatch' system created by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency. This application dramatically improves the speed and effectiveness of preparing and sharing briefings and real-time data between U.S. intelligence agencies.
