We're a little nervous about the 
Phoenix OS/2 Society's general meeting, 
scheduled for Tuesday, June 8. Kim 
Cheung, Executive Director of Serenity 
Systems, will show us WiseManager, a 
product that delivers to small and 
medium size companies the same benefits 
that IBM has been providing to their 
enterprise accounts through the 
WorkSpace On Demand product.

But we'd like to avoid a repetition of 
what happened at the recent Southern 
California OS/2 User Group meeting, 
when Kim Cheung demonstrated the 
WiseManager product. Their newsletter's 
report begins, "SCOUG members were seen 
falling out of their chairs in 
amazement..." and concludes, 
"WiseManager is truly a miracle." 
That's a little overwhelming.
What kind of product can generate such 
a response? How about a product which 
allows anyone to build a TCP/IP 
intranet, by filling in the blanks? 
Ever hear of a product which can deploy 
an application across a WAN with one 
drag and drop -- over a switched 
connection, from a remote site? Or how 
about building an OS/2 machine in 30 
seconds or less?

According to Cheung, business partners 
have said, "If you want to make your 
product valuable, make it simple and 
complete." At the June general meeting, 
you'll watch how simple it is to build 
an OS/2 machine on the LAN. Power on 
the machine, type in a name and -- 
poof! -- a complete OS/2 Warp 4 machine 
is ready.

With WiseManager, you get more 
benefits, more function, and less cost 
in an "out of the box" solution that 
works. WiseManager provides solutions 
for software deployment, application 
and user management, problem 
resolution, all accomplished using 
OS/2's solid and proven technology.
Although WiseManager can coexist with 
IBM's Workspace On Demand, WSOD is not 
required for WiseManager to operate. 
All you need is OS/2 Warp Server Entry, 
OS/2 Warp Server Advanced, or OS/2 Warp 
Server SMP.

Kim recently completed testing on 
Aurora and IBM's new Network Station 
hardware. At this meeting, you'll hear 
his assessment of how these new 
products from IBM can improve your 
experience with "Network Computing -- 
for the rest of us."

When and where

The general meeting will be held on 
Tuesday, June 8, at 7:00pm, at the 
Mountain Preserve Reception Center, 
1431 E Dunlap. The "random access" Q&A 
session starts promptly, on the dot, at 
6:30pm, give or take a half hour.
Kim is a dynamic presenter who's sure 
to reinvigorate your enthusiasm in OS/2 
-- so plan to reconvene after the 
meeting at Coyote Springs.

2000.)
