Dear i-technology professional,

When Microsoft and IBM team up to do a public demo based on Web services, as they just did in New York last week, you can be sure that Web services are now a major business and computing reality.

Bill Gates left no room for doubt: "Web services are important to the foundation of the Internet," he declared, "enabling e-commerce to become a reality." Steve Mills, IBM Software Group's senior vice president and general manager, was at his side: "We're not declaring victory, but we're showing people the goal line," Mills said.

Where Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Sun, HP, and the other heavyweights are going, can you and your business afford not to follow?

Come explore the Web services goal line for yourself next week, at Web Services Edge 2003 (West) - International Web Services Conference & Expo, September 30 - October 2, 2003, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California.
