Group.
The demonstration of Public Key Infrastructure/DCE showed impressive
functionality and excellent vendor cooperation."

organizations
needed to hear about. Not only that, we got information on approaches
that
we
could take away and apply."

"The Open Group has contributed to our ability to identify and meet with

business peers and IT partners. In an atmosphere centered in business
