SOA: Architecture, Governance, Standards, and Technologies 2013

Many companies have embraced a SOA approach for development and integration projects. Now they are embarking on the next phase – a more systematic adoption of Service-Oriented practices. However, simply buying into Middleware technologies like Enterprise Service Bus and the latest generation of development tools is not sufficient for successful implementation of an Enterprise SOA. It is time to expand our view on SOA: how can we assess the maturity level of our organization and define a roadmap for future projects? Governance has to be one of our top priorities, and we need to prepare our service based applications to run in a Cloud without requiring costly modifications.

This seminar starts with the important aspects that have to be addressed when defining an architecture blueprint, which is the cornerstone of a successful SOA. Next, the seminar gives you insight into the organizational challenges that IT and Business Managers face with the adoption of SOA. It emphasizes the role of Governance for IT organizations that need to increase their maturity level in order to achieve SOA adoption on a large (Enterprise) scale.
