FAT-NL is proud to announce an excellent speaker kicking off our next FAT event on the 21st of December 2011.

Jamie is a respected international speaker, agile coach, test automation expert and active agile community member. He's is principle consultant at Ugly Duckling and founders of Financial Agile, a collaboration of people, businesses, authors and managers who really care about how the future of financial engineering emerges.
After his presentation the evening will consist of open spaces sessions as well as a (only for FAT-NL members) free TDD clinic by Jamie.
As an IT or Operations Manager, we cordially invite you to participate in this seminar about the sense or nonsense of your own private cloud. You will get an exclusive look behind the scenes of one of the most advanced infrastructures in The Netherlands!
More, better and faster with lower costs. Cloud computing promises it all. That is why a lot of organizations set up their own infrastructure as a private cloud. But what are the real results? And what are the requirements to achieve those results? What is under the hood? During this seminar, we will answer these questions based on a special case. Kadaster will tell you all about their new 'Platform-as-a Service' (PaaS) platform.

Experience the power of Agile for SAP project implementations
The success of your SAP solution depends significantly on the speed and effectiveness of the implementation, as only a successfull implementation can add value to your organisation. Often, this is the challenge of a SAP project implementation. The Agile methodology enables you to face this challenge, but can this methodology be easily applied to a SAP project?

Five Xebia presentations were selected for NLJUG's 2011 JFall conference. In addition, we also host BigData Labs titled 'Discover the diversities of NoSQL'.
The Agile development method offers an organisation many advantages. Agile delivers what is really necessary, the offers transparancy and flexibility, the proces is truly measurable and cost reductions of 40% are no exception.
With the introduction of Agile in an organisation however, we see a strong need for a different kind of software development contract. Purchasing departments do not know how to legally bind Agile in a contract. How do you find the right model for supporting the Agile approach and at the same time offer the securities a customer wants in a contract?
