We’ve invited two top experts to help us explore the business value of embracing ODF and OOXML. Microsoft and IBM will compete for your mind-share and business. They will use best practice examples to demonstrate the potential value an organization can derive from implementing a document standard. One half hour each, Microsoft and IBM.

Jason Matusow is a leading strategist on the broad spectrum of issues that make up Microsoft’s global commitment to interoperability.He has been published on the subject of open source as a contributing author in the MIT Press book Perspectives on Free and Open Source Software, and other academic journals.

Arnaud Le Hors is responsible for overseeing the management of IBM standards activities and leading IBM open source and standards program in the emerging markets. He has also been involved in open source projects, such as Xerces, the XML parser developed by the Apache Software Foundation for which he was one of the lead architects.
