AusLUG Update - 15th August, 2011
We are now only 2 weeks away from the BIGGEST IBM/Lotus event in Australia!



There are still places left - Phone a Friend!
For this very first AusLUG we have set ourselves some pretty challenging goals, including packing out our venue. This is where you can help
It's time to “phone a friend”

We have done a lot of promotion but we know not everyone has heard of AusLUG, so can you take five minutes and contact someone you know, encourage them to register and come along.

We are close to capacity but there is always room for more!


 



Check out the Agenda!
Over the weekend we published the full agenda for AusLUG 2011. All of the sessions have now been finalised and we are looking forward to bringing you 2 fantastic days of sessions and events.

The agenda is available here:

http://www.auslug.org/webs/auslug2011.nsf/agendas.xsp

Not only will you see all of the sessions and their schedule, you can even download an ICS file to automatically add the entire agenda to your calendar!


 



We have Labs!
IBM, our platinum sponsor, will be running a Lab where you can see live demos from across the IBM Software Portfolio, allowing you to explore them with direct access to people who can answer your questions. This will be a great way to find out more after attending a session and we thank IBM for making these Labs possible

  



Featured Session: 'The Race for the Mobile Enterprise' with Peter Carr of analyst firm Longhaus
With the days of the flagship desktop service now gone forever many CIOs have struggled to move on. The very crux of the old-world desktop model was email. Its religious-style debates shaped enterprise thinking and product selection since the turn of the century.

But today many organisations are unwittingly using old-world debates to make new-world decisions about core enterprise strategy based on email provider churn. But email is now just one part in an extended collaborative continuum and businesses are realising all too late that “next generation collaboration” nirvana is unachievable by simply changing email platforms. Today the journey for true enterprise-collaboration begins with an underlying network capability leading to three (3) core strategic paths:

  • The IP Communication Strategic Path;
  • The IP Telephony Strategic Path;
  • and The IP Collaboration Strategic Path.
In this presentation, Longhaus will unpack each phase of the new collaboration continuum to expose the weaknesses and roadblocks presented by a messaging-centric strategy. Using Australian data and market examples from both 2001 and 2011 Longhaus will discuss achievable end-games depending on the specific technology decisions being made. The presentation will outline how enterprises must undertake business value assessments of the underlying technology platforms for either IP-Communications or IP-Collaboration approaches which typically split enterprise decision makers and leave the ICT organisation with budgets for legacy email-focused procurement rather than long-term vision.

 



Are you still coming?
We really look forward to seeing you at AusLUG 2011, but if you are not coming would you mind logging into your profile on the web-site and cancelling your registration. We want as many people as possible to attend the conference and places are limited.

 



There is still more to come
We have a few more things coming, and we'll let you know about them as we get closer. But like all good events, we will have some surprises!

To keep update to date, follow @auslug in Twitter and the AusLUG website. If using Twitter, please use the #AusLUG hashtag.

See you all on August 29!
