OK, I promise to stop posting about the WWPC soon, but it was a very productive event for us. In addition to the many sessions I’ve already described, I had a chance to sit down with Darryl Taft of eWeek.  While he was in Boston covering the Microsoft event, he took the time to interview […]

Don Canning describes “how a startup becomes an industry success,” providing his own take on our recent demonstration of the Digipede Network running on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 (CCS) at the Securities Industry Association (SIA) Technology Management Conference.  When Don says: Microsoft as a team is working closely with Digipede Technologies to enable seamless […]

Digipede’s trip to the Securities Industry Association (SIA) Technology Management Conference went better than planned. With a presence in four locations (the Digipede booth, Microsoft booth, HP booth, and the Microsoft / HP “break room”), we were rocking pretty hard for three days straight.
