Interview with Alejandro Raffaele, manager of Sun Microsystems in Argentina, published
the newspaper La Nacion.
talked about what happened in 2007 and how will the agenda for 2008, with a company that went from selling "irons" to sign up fully to software and services. Sound familiar?
Sun Many remind one of the companies that led the dotcom boom in the 90's. Sun today is no company that Microsoft and shooting darts IBM. Now, both are their partners. No more disputes over control of Java since Sun decided to open this technology in 2006 and its Solaris operating system, which is now open source.
His current goal, come on, is to open the code for all applications. It is not a minor issue for a company that has been argued by local businesses derived from software and services. To understand the details, the nation met with Alejandro Raffaele, brand manager for Sun Microsystems in Argentina. 
- What were the most important events of the year for you? 
-Sun made two important things in 2007. The first business was the largest infrastructure integration has done in its history with the public sector, where in addition to selling its own technology, we have sold third-party products such as Oracle. The project is related to a system of information technology that forms a national network which by now I can not give many details. "The second event relates to that we now have a portfolio of more software products. We have acquired companies in the area of \u200b\u200bmiddleware and integration middleware pointing Enterprise Service Bus and Service Oriented Architecture. And we have developed an Identity Management with which we are making progress in some projects, it has been acquired by the segment of the telecommunications and banking. This is all new to us, historically a company dedicated to hardware. And it all happened in the course of 2007.
- What happened c on the map of alliances?
"We have four great allies in the area of \u200b\u200bthe integrators who are Accenture, Siemmens, Indra and EDS. On the other hand, we have business with large developers such as SAP, Oracle and Symantec. But this year we began working with Microsoft and now sell hardware with its operating system, while IBM and Dell have started selling their products in our (Solaris). Sunday's competitors are our Today's part-ners.
- What is shaping the agenda next year?
"The public sector went very slowly on the issue of the election, but next year will open up numerous opportunities. The banking industry has become a catch-up after the crisis. And telecommunications remain a key driver for us. Finally, agriculture has evolved so much that now the inside is a powerful market for all technology. The new challenge is to open our channels to the interior. Rafael Bini
