Special Events
A Review of opsXchange 2005
The opsXchange 2005 Technical Training Seminar completed its fifth successful year. Those in attendance indicated that this year's conference continued to surpass previous year's and that, dollar for dollar, it is still one of the best values in technical training available today for automation. Once again, four concurrent sessions were run daily that offered more than 40 technical sessions over the two-and-a-half-day time frame.

There were sessions to satisfy everyone from automation novices to seasoned veterans and the planning team saw to it that the needs of everyone were met. In addition to the sessions on existing features and functions, there were sessions on product futures as well. Also, back by popular demand, we offered hands-on labs where attendees had the opportunity to "kick the tires" and experience some valuable time at the wheel of their favorite CA automation products. This year also saw the introduction of Unicenter® CA-SYSVIEW® Realtime Performance Management sessions and the valuable product integration with the CA automation product suite.

The initial stages of planning for next year's event have already begun and we look forward to a bigger and better opsXchange Technical Training Seminar in 2006. Shortly, a link will be posted on the Pro Tech website (protechpts.com/) announcing opsXchange 2006. Session materials from this year's seminar will be available shortly. We anticipate even more member sessions for next year's event including sessions on the NetMaster product suite. See you there!
