While SOA technologies and development approaches are increasingly well known, true SOA Governance remains a mystery for most organizations. What government agencies of all types and sizes need is a pragmatic approach to SOA that guides the practitioner through the maze of technology and hype, allowing them to first determine the right practices and architecture for their unique needs, then select technologies and manage them going forward.
“SOA continues to be a foreign concept to many organizations, both in the public and private sectors,” said Ronald Schmelzer, senior analyst, ZapThink, LLC. “This event is appropriate for IT project managers, enterprise architects, senior developers, data architects, and anyone else who is or will be impacted by the adoption and movement to SOA by the Federal Government. It is being held to educate those professionals who need to implement the technology and to determine what is best for their organizational need.”
At this event attendees will hear from the best of the best in the world of SOA. Speakers will take participants through the concepts, business issues, approaches and technology needed to make SOA work within the organization. Together, ZapThink analyst Ronald Schmelzer and notable IT expert and master architect David Linthicum provide the information for considering the special needs of government agencies and contractors. iTKO’s CMO, Jim Mackay, will also present a session on “Testing and Trusting in Federated SOA Software Environments” at the seminar.
