DataDirect Design Previews are free informational and educational seminars for developers and application architects. During these sessions, we provide technology updates on standards and best practices, and promote discussion on emerging issues which impact our product delivery cycle and our customers' implementation. We include a roadmap for future product developments, and featured speakers along with relevant tutorials on data connectivity performance, XML development, mainframe modernization and related topics.
DataDirect's Product development leaders use these sessions as an opportunity to connect with our customers for frank and informal discussions regarding direct experiences with our products, implementation challenges, and to capture real user's ideas for future product development direction.
These sessions give our customers a rare opportunity to speak directly with the decision-makers at DataDirect, and directly influence the product development cycle.
