HPWorld: Jeff Kubler Giving Suprtool Session

Jeff Kubler of Kubler Consulting presented a session on Suprtool at this year's HPWorld conference in Chicago, "Super Suprtool Solutions":

Suprtool is one of the most prevalant database extraction tools in the MPE world. Virtually every application, from legacy applications to the new e-commerce applications, will have some use for Suprtool. A clear understanding of its use and capabilities is a key concept in any developer's technical bag of tricks. In addition, there are a number of great solutions to some of the trickiest problems with database or file extraction, and updating that will be covered in the presentation of the paper should help any developer increase productivity.

If you have an interest in the training please send email to jrkubler@proaxis.com, call 541-745-7457 or click link above.

P.S. Comment from a past attendee: "Prior to receiving Suprtool training from Jeff Kubler, I had to rely upon our programming staff to find data and build test data environments. This was time consuming because I often had to wait for their availability. The Suprtool training has been invaluable because now I can perform these tasks myself. This has made me much more efficient and effective. I would recommend this Suprtool training to anyone who needs to access data and needs to become quickly familiar with IMAGE and the Suprtool." - Juliann Meitzler, Rodale Press.

Performance Training Seminar in Florida

Can you tweak and tune your HP computer for maximum performance, and improve your company's bottom line by attending one seminar?

Read Craig Solomon's report on the conference, then study Neil Armstrong's paper: "Living With 400 I-Os Per Second".

The answer is a resounding YES! But only if you attend the Performance Training Seminar in Florida (February 13-16, 2001). To get into the "meaty" topic of performance, a smaller, friendlier, and more intimate setting delivers much more value, and we'd like to let you in on our secret performance weapon... Neil Armstrong - the man in charge of Robelle's Suprtool performance software. Neil will be speaking about "Living With 400 I/Os Per Second", and Marie Reimer from Robelle's sales and marketing department will be there to back him up. Read all about the seminar.
