Who should attend: Enterprise Architecture professionals
Description:
As large and heterogeneous enterprises reach greater SOA maturity, Enterprise Architecture professionals often find that different business areas or domains need different things from an enterprise-level SOA platform. Accommodating these requirements may require architects to segment their SOA platform strategy and build in an extra level of interoperability and federation between different SOA domains. SOA platform federation may be driven by heterogeneity of SOA infrastructure and products across domains but can also occur in a homogeneous platform that is configured differently for each domain. Enterprise Architecture professionals should separate true business requirements from accidents of history that may reflect weak architectural governance, decide which patterns of interoperability and federation are truly necessary, and then expand the SOA platform strategy to accommodate these requirements.
Agenda:
- SOA infrastructure varies widely across most large enterprises among multiple business and technology domains.
- Interoperability and federation are key strategies to employ in coping with this SOA diversity in a way that enables enterprise-level SOA strategies that would otherwise be much more difficult to accomplish.
- This session lays out a detailed strategy for incorporating interoperability and federation requirements into your SOA platform strategy.
