Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) May 01, 2014 -- Organizations today face a range of disruptive technologies, from APIs to ecosystems, mobile-first development, big data, social, DevOps, cloud, everything and anything-as-a-service. Often the convergence of these technologies poses a challenge for government programs and contractors.

Presenting the half-day seminar, “Adopting Innovation – Building World-Class Systems on Open Source,” will be WSO2 Federal Systems CEO Jonathan Marsh and WSO2 Vice President of Platform Evangelism Chris Haddad.
