Quest Northeast Conference
July 19-20
Mohegan Sun Resort, Uncasville, Conn.

Six key Northeast-based user groups have decided to plan an event this July with Quest International Users Group. This two-day program will be packed with PeopleSoft and JD Edwards education sessions. We are expecting over 500 attendees and will also feature 90+ education sessions, more than 50 exhibitors and Oracle.

Quest Northeast Call for Presentations Deadline Extended -- Selected education tracks are posted online now. Education content for PeopleSoft and JD Edwards product lines will be accepted from users and vendors. Presentation types range from customer experiences, best practices and round table discussions to development tips, product updates and the latest releases.

Submit your questions regarding the submission of your presentation to stacy.muir@questdirect.org. Accepted customer presentations will receive one complimentary customer registration per session. Vendor registration rates vary based on registration date. The early bird registration rate for non-exhibiting vendors is $275.

Vendors interested in participating in Quest Northeast should contact Ross Brown at ross.brown@questdirect.org for exhibits and sponsorship opportunities.

DB2 Web Query for System i
On April 10, 2007, IBM announced plans to deliver a Web-based query and report writing product that replaces the IBM Query for iSeries (also commonly known as Query/400) product. The new product is DB2 Web Query for System i and is planned to be generally available in late July.

DB2 Web Query will provide capabilities to query/report or build dashboards against data stored in DB2 for i5/OS databases through the latest browser based user interface technologies. Build new reports with ease through Power Painter or Report and Graph Assistant components. Simplify the management of reports by leveraging parameterized reporting. Deliver data to end users in many different formats, including spreadsheets, PDF, HTML or through the Java based thin client interface browser support.  

For more information, a FAQ document is available at http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/db2 or send a note to Doug Mack at mackd@us.ibm.com. You can also click here to view some screen shots of the product.
