THEME
As Internet applications become more and more business critical there is a need to get the balance right between speed, accuracy and control as changes are made. Configuration Management and Data Management play a key role in helping companies control their E-Commerce applications.

This seminar looks at the Configuration and Data Management issues in establishing and running Internet applications.
