SCO Announces SCO Tec Forum 2007
Annual SCO Conference to Offer Technical Training and Sessions for Customers, Partners and Developers on SCO UNIX and Mobile Technologies
LINDON, Utah, May 3/ -- The SCO Group, Inc., a leading provider of UNIX(R) software technology and mobile services, today announced the SCO Tec Forum 2007 conference for customers, resellers and partners. Now in its 21st consecutive year, SCO Tec Forum is a technical extension of the company's annual conference based on feedback gathered from partners and customers that recommended a more technically focused event. This year's conference, to be held August 5-7 at The Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, will provide attendees with technical breakout sessions from SCO UNIX experts, hands on training by valued SCO partners, and best practices birds-of-a-feather sessions that will directly benefit SCO customers and their I.T. environments. With the stronger technical training focus this year, SCO is changing the name to "SCO Tec Forum" to note the technical emphasis.
"SCO UNIX, designed for industry standard Intel server hardware, has long been one of the highest performing, reliable, scalable and secure operating environments in the industry," said Sandy Gupta, chief technology officer and general manager, SCO. "With SCO Tec Forum, we're going to help customers get even more out of their SCO investments. Customers will gain a better understanding of how to manage upgrades to the latest SCO UNIX releases, develop new SCO UNIX applications and modernize existing ones, implement emerging mobile technologies and solutions, and integrate those mobile solutions within their SCO UNIX environment."

SCO Tec Forum will include sessions from SCO partners that will help customers quickly and easily convert their text-based applications to a GUI interface without having to reprogram their applications or change their operating environment -- saving valuable time and money.
