The Reading Lounge at IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
If your organization's future depends on software, you should visit the Reading Lounge sponsored by Landmark. It boasts of priceless books authored by IBM Rational Software's top leaders based on their experience in helping hundreds of organizations improve their effectiveness.
Software is the world's most critical industry and will be for years to come. Yet most companies are not professionally governing the software delivery which will define how they interact with customers or how they deliver their goods and services to the market.
The Reading Lounge features books that take a look at the changing landscape of business in an economy increasingly dependent on software. Some of the books explore the challenges companies face in realizing the full potential of information technology.
We encourage you to visit the Lounge and spend a few moments browsing through the selection of books.
If you want to understand why you should closely examine, and in most cases dramatically change, how you govern, develop, and deliver software, which is at the heart of your business, your visit to the conference will not be complete without a visit to the Reading Lounge.
Watch out for the Reading Lounge at the conference in Chennai, Hyderabad and New Delhi.
You may also purchase other books from the Reading Lounge during the conference, being offered by Landmark at an attractive price. So come prepared with your list to shop at the knowledge bank!
Apart from being able to purchase the attractively priced books you also have the opportunity to get enrolled as a member of the Landmark chain and benefit from exclusive offers extended to their members.
