SAP to Co-Sponsor OMG's Atlanta, Georgia Technical
Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A., September 12-16, 2005
Needham, MA, USA - August 16, 2005 - The Object Management Group™
(OMG™), today announced that SAP is co-sponsoring its September
Technical Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A.
During the meeting week, members will advance technology through the
group's adoption process, attend special events such as the
"Model-based Management" Information Day and "Leveraging IT
Standards for Regulatory Compliance Requirements" seminar; attend
tutorials on topics such as Model-Driven Architecture®; and view
demonstrations of OMG standards-compliant products. In addition, SAP will
give a plenary presentation on:
- "Model-Driven Business Process Platforms," presented by
David Frankel, Lead Standards Architect - Model Driven Systems, SAP
Labs LLC
"We are pleased that OMG's growth since the launch of the Model
Driven Architecture initiative has been so broad, as evidenced by SAP
co-sponsoring this meeting. SAP's broad interests in MDA, business process
modeling and other areas led to their co-sponsorship," said Dr.
Richard Soley, chairman and CEO of OMG. "We are especially excited to
see David Frankel's new affiliation, representing SAP and leading SAP's
modeling vision worldwide. As one of the earliest proponents of Model
Driven Architecture and quite literally the man that wrote the book, his
focus on modeling solutions is a big boost to SAP's modeling
technology."
"Model-driven tools are critical to the Enterprise Services
Architecture (ESA) because they make it easier for our customers to use
services to compose innovative applications that run on SAP NetWeaver,"
said George Paolini, Executive Vice President of SAP's Ecosystem Platform
Organization. "SAP's sponsorship of the OMG Technical Meeting and
participation in the evolution of modeling standards reflects our
commitment to the OMG community. We are very pleased to have David
Frankel, a leader in the model-driven systems community who recently
joined SAP, spearheading our OMG activities and guiding our model-driven
systems strategy."
