    The First GT.M™+PIP™ Technology Exchange

    GT.M has a twenty year track record as a workhorse for applications ranging from small systems all the way up to the largest real time core processing system that we are aware of in daily production use at any bank anywhere in the world.  As technology and your needs advance, Fidelity Information Services (FIS) has continuously added software functionality and services, such as PIP.

    Now, for the first time, the GT.M+PIP Technology Exchange brings together GT.M and PIP users for a technical information exchange.  Topics to be discussed include:

    • Best practices for business continuity, security, etc.
    • SQL/JDBC access to GT.M databases
    • Object technology
    • Web enablement, including using GT.M as an XML database
    • Leveraging open source software

    Please come prepared to share your best practices and technologies, as well as to learn from what FIS and other users have to share.
