The Yankee Group Presents: The North American SMS and Mobile Messaging Forum
This two-day event will provide a forum for SMS and Mobile Messaging service providers, developers and corporate end users to come together to find out what’s happening with SMS and Mobile Messaging in North America. Session topics will address business models and the role of solution providers, mobile messaging on next-generation networks, mobile messaging as a driver of mobile commerce and case studies in enterprise deployments. Both corporate end users and mobile operators in the U.S. and Canada will be the key target audience. Given the announcement of SMS interoperability among Canada’s four largest wireless service providers at the end of 2001 and commercial launch in March 2002, the Marriott Eaton Centre in Toronto is an ideal place for this event.

IDC Enterprise ServerVision Conference
The demand for newer, better, faster and more flexible solutions that tie in servers with software, storage and services delivered through a unique channel is becoming a reality. As a result, IT server vendors are promising a service-centric systems infrastructure – where everything is pooled and computing is provisioned, delivered, metered and purchased as a service. At the IDC Enterprise ServerVision conference, join IDC’s server team as it delves into the realm of the Internet Infrastructure Hardware ecosystem. Hear what industry executives have to say about this new era of computing and who they will trust to deliver on the promise of a better e-business infrastructure. Get the answers to your biggest questions: Doesn’t a service-driven economy need to be supported by a service-centric systems infrastructure? What will happen if systems vendors can’t find their place in the new value chain? Will the server ecosystem depend upon just a few suppliers, or will thousands of sub contractors rule the roost?
