Featured are Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions, and Jason Bloomberg, Managing Partner with ZapThink. Both bring deep knowledge and unique perspectives about application management SOA, web services, and the relevant technologies and standards to this debate.

Whether you are simply deploying web services or building out a complete service-oriented architecture, come hear these analysts’ views on tough questions such as:

  • What should management look like in the world of service based applications?
  • How does SOA change the landscape of application and systems management?
  • Can traditional monitoring tools be effective managing tomorrow’s SOA deployments or is something new needed?
  • What standards are needed to make SOA adoption a success, or do they already exist? What role do they play and what are the alternatives?
  • As enterprises increasingly deploy SOA-based applications and infrastructure, the lingering question remains: how do current plans and approaches to application management stack up to managing these mission-critical deployments?
