Enterprise architecture is the natural focal point for launching, nurturing, and, ultimately, maturing your enterprise's SOA program; real SOA value comes when application development delivers better solutions to the business. The primary connection points between the Enterprise Architecture professionals and application developers are around the SOA life cycle, SOA design, and the SOA platform. Join Forrester analysts for a one-day, interactive workshop providing perspectives on key SOA technologies, SOA life-cycle management strategies, and SOA design strategies. The session presents a wide range of SOA topics from an architect's perspective, including:
- The strategic business impact of SOA
- Strategies for collaborating with the business
- Articulating the benefits of SOA
- Understanding and implementing effective service life-cycle management
- Designing SOA services
- Sorting through Web services specifications
- Building an SOA platform
- Establishing an actionable strategic road map for SOA adoption
