     enable better solutions for small and mid-market businesses, more
     easily delivered by VARs; best practices for deploying mobile solutions

     has evolved beyond the information needs of the past. Based on the
     volumes of data and the new technology such as XML, Web 2.0, companies
     are struggling to keep up with their data management needs. This
     NetSeminar will help leverage this information as a strategic asset.
     Attendees will learn: top database challenges, security threats, the
     terabyte "throw down," compliance, expansion costs, environmental
     concerns and the Test Center Tool Chest trends in dealing with these
     challenges, best practices, and the outlook for VARs.
