Everybody !! Welcome to our forum. The upcoming forum is 2004 kick-off and joint forum for GIS & The Open Group forum members and visitors.

The theme focuses on "Open System and Interoperability Challenge" and we are inviting excellent opinion leaders as main speakers who can provide all of you valuable and helpful advises for your strategic enterprise IT architecture.

Opening speaker is Mr. Kouji Ohboshi-Corporate Advisor(former Chairman) of NTT DoCoMo presents "Globalization and Open System Gap between Japan & other countries".

Mr. Allen Brown-CEO & President of The Open Group covers "The Open Group 2003 Highlight Activity and 2004 Direction & Focus".

Mr. Rob Walker-Program Manager of Global Information Grid (GIG) Enterprise Services Initiative(GES) of Defense Information Systems Agency(DISA) of DoD introduces "DoD Net-Centric Common IT Systems". GES System is the most advanced open architecture system focusing on interoperability and quality of services and this system is joint work efforts of DoD Joint Staff, Assistant Secretary of Defense Networks and Information Infrastructure and DISA. This system is not for special governmental system, but the objectives, architecture, design concept of this system would be valuable and helpful for enterprise users.

In panel discussion, Japanese IT supplies and key members of The Open Group discuss "How to implement Open Architecture in Japan ? And What are Issues ? How to resolve the issues and take actions ? "

The introduction of GES is first time in Japan and also the contents of this forum would be worth for you to establish future interoperable and secure open system in your enterprise.

I look forward to your participation and seeing you at Tokyo American Club.
