If you are thinking about migrating from a legacy proprietary middleware solution to the Open Source based JBoss middleware, or implementing JBoss for a new project and wondering how you can reduce the risk in such a project, this is a must see session. The Presenter will give an overview of the Unisys JBoss Migration toolkit and methodologies, JBoss Migration Knowledgebase, best practices methodologies, and an overview of several recent case studies. We will begin by describing typical J2EE migration issues and a discussion of the value of a standardized JBoss migration methodology. We will describe the JBoss Migration Solution (JBMS) tools developed by Unisys, methodologies, migration knowledgebase and best practices. We will review a sample scenario and tasks. Finally, we will provide an overview of several case studies - a large state court system, a large health care provider; an internet/IT provider and a Hospitality/Marketing company.
