We invite you to take the next three days to learn, engage, and experience the best the profession has to offer! We invite you to fully participate in this highly interactive experience where the learning comes as much from those assembled as from the many top-flight speakers and discussion leaders. Connect with your peers, partners, and industry executives to learn how others are confronting the challenges of our ever-changing business environment and forging the future of partnering. We extend a gracious thank you to the ASAP Program Committee and Summit Task Force for their hard work and effort in putting together this stellar program. We also thank our speakers for sharing their expertise and experience. Most importantly, we thank all participants for contributing their insights and knowledge to the discussion. The Summit is by far the world’s largest annual gathering of our profession’s leading individuals and organizations. Each year, alliance management and partnering practitioners, thought leaders, academics and consultants gather to discuss the state of the profession, how to evolve the discipline, and advance their understanding of partnering and collaboration strategy development and execution. No other event delivers as much immediately actionable and relevant information, connects you to more of the profession’s thought leaders, or does more to advance your career than the ASAP Global Alliance Summit. The theme of this year’s Summit is “Collaboration at the Core: Forging the Future of Partnering.”Partnering executives are among the ultimate change agents in a world of accelerating disruption, industries in collision, and rapidly evolving business models. As the ability to collaborate has become core to organizational growth, agility, and innovation, mastering the art and science of alliance management has never been more crucial to success. Enrich your knowledge, strengthen your foundation, and augment your skills through the nearly 40 keynotes, panels, interactive discussions and participant-led roundtables delivered by presenters from a wide variety of industries to: Build and manage alliances and other collaborations Lead amidst disruption—and be an agent of change Deliver outcomes that matter—by creating value and mitigating risk Develop your expertise and gain insights into the most pressing strategic issues facing the senior level partnering executive and the biggest challenges encountered by the individual practitioners responsible for the day-to-day management of business collaborations. The Summit is also a celebration of the community’s crème-de-la-crème. Our Alliance Excellence Awards recognizing the companies and executives behind the previous year’s most successful alliance initiatives are handed out at the annual Alliance Excellence Awards Recognition program. Learn what separates the winners from everyone else—and plot your strategy to be counted among the best. Forge the future of partnering—from fundamentals to advanced practices. Meet and learn from other practitioners, their success, and their challenges—in your industry and others. Discover new models for partnering business collaboration and how to build world-class capabilities at the core of your organization. Only at the 2015 ASAP Global Alliance Summit!

  • Praise for DB2 10.1/10.5 for Linux, Unix, and Windows Database Administration: Certification Study Guide
    Praise for DB2 10.1/10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Database Administration: Certification Study Guide This book is far more than a typical certification and study guide.The authors go out of their way to ensure the various topics tested in the certification exam are not simply covered, but rather well understood by the reader. That is to say this book serves as an excellent guide to understanding DB2’s various features and functionalities, and more importantly, under what circumstances they should be used. Hamdi Roumani DB2 Developer IBM Toronto Software Lab Mohan and Kent’s updates have taken what was already a great book to a new level. In the book, you’ll find all you need to know about most new features in V10.1/10.5. There is also additional information on V9.x functionality that will help new and experienced DBAs alike. I particularly enjoyed the sample questions, which are cleverly designed to make the reader think and have detailed explanations behind the correct and incorrect answers. Colin A. Chapman DB2 DBA Lead IBM UK This book is a terrific piece of work. I’ve worked with many DBAs over the years, and Mohan/ Kent are the best—here, they have distilled years of DBA experience into a comprehensive tome that goes beyond passing certification exams. Whether you are a new DBA, an experienced DBA looking at DB2, or an experienced DBA needing to deepen or extend your skills, this book is for you. Simon Woodcock Data Warehouse Consultant IBM Information Management This book isn’t just a valuable study guide, but also an excellent reference that you will likely refer to frequently.
