IBM Impact 2012 in pictures

Each year BPM and SOA devotees gather at IBM Impact in Las Vegas to hear what’s new and to find out what works best. Well over 40 sessions focused on service-oriented architecture alone. The company used the event to showcase a new class of systems intended to combine the flexibility of general purpose systems, the elasticity of cloud and the simplicity of an integration appliance. Event keynoters included Steve Jobs’ biographer Walter Isaacson, IBM software leader, Steve Mills, WebSphere CTO and IBM Fellow Jerry Cuomo and others.
