 Well, 2010 has arrived and as we move forward with the "new economy" I think we all understand the need to have an IT strategy and plan that delivers more to the bottom line of the business and changes the perception of IT as a pure cost center. From developers, analysts and project managers, all the way up to the CIO, everyone needs to think differently about their business applications and how to deliver projects that make a positive contribution to their organization that extends beyond just "keeping the lights on" in maintenance mode.
The LANSA 2010 Solution Summit has been designed to energize and educate LANSA developers, analysts and managers with new ideas and educational content that will demonstrate how LANSA can be harnessed to address the top IT technical and business challenges facing companies in 2010.
The structure of the event is based on a variety of solution showcases designed to address real-world business and technology challenges, and how you can use LANSA solutions to approach these projects to deliver new applications or extended capabilities to your organization. During the showcases, you'll learn how the solutions were architected and get guidance on undertaking these types of projects from design through to deployment. We'll also drill into the finished applications so that you can get a high-level understanding of the solutions and how to go about building them.

Event highlights include:
- An evening Welcome Reception, where we plan to have some fun and entertainment, with a chance to meet with other customers, partners and LANSA personnel.
- A briefing on the latest news from LANSA including an overview of LANSA Version 12 and other plans for 2010.
- Educational tracks with best practice advice on key topics such as agile project management and how to build a case for project funding, including ROI.
- A chance to meet one-on-one with LANSA staff to discuss any topic, solution, or project.
The event has been designed to minimize cost and time away from the office, while maximizing the educational benefits and knowledge gained. With this in mind, all attendees will be provided with the ability to use the LANSA eLearning Web site - where they can take LANSA training labs based on the new LANSA V12 software following the summit. This will allow attendees to refresh existing knowledge, while learning new skills using their own virtual V12 LANSA environment for a 30-day period after the event.

We’re pleased to be hosting this event at the Westin, Lombard, Illinois which is a great venue and easily reached from either of Chicago’s main airports.
