Event Overview

Service-oriented architecture is widely accepted as the new approach to delivering software that promises to eliminate many of the problems facing IT and business leaders today. These problems — outdated technology, siloed applications, conflicting standards, mismatched computing platforms, and single-purpose code that can't be reused — have stifled the productivity of IT organizations and limited their ability to serve the business. SOA¿s promise — to enable IT to deliver faster, more flexible business change — has organizations moving to adopt service-oriented development techniques and architectures. But any change in IT affects people, process and technology — over-focusing on just technology is a sure path to failure. Find out how organizations are dealing with:

• Getting SOA off the drawing board.
• Strategies to attain executive support and funding.
• Organizational readiness to pursue SOA.
• The building blocks and sequence of SOA.
• Impact to organizational models and staffing.
• Articulating the business benefits of SOA.
• The ROI of SOA.
• Best practices and lessons learned for SOA.
