“Enterprises are struggling with making SOA work and troubled by governance concerns,” said Ronald Schmelzer, Managing Partner with ZapThink, LLC. “They are looking for SOA governance best practices for design-time, run-time, and change / version management, and want hands-on experience with SOA governance methods, tools, and frameworks before you commit to a SOA endeavor. However, existing SOA Governance training is provided by software vendors and consulting firms that have ulterior motives for providing training. Enterprises are you looking for a third-party, vendor-neutral credential to provide training and endorse their SOA governance knowledge.”

ZapThink Announces Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Governance Certification and Training in London, UK
Industry’s Only Vendor-Neutral SOA Governance Credential
BALTIMORE, MD July 27, 2009 — One of the biggest challenges facing the SOA marketplace is the lack of proper governance to make sure that SOA exists in a controlled environment, and not the potential chaos that can emerge from uncontrolled, dynamic consumption and composition. To address this challenge, ZapThink today announces the availability of registration for its Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Governance Training and Certification course in London, UK. The two-day course will be run in Canary Wharf in
London, United Kingdom running from October 19-20, 2009.
“Enterprises are struggling with making SOA work and troubled by governance concerns,” said Ronald Schmelzer, Managing Partner with ZapThink, LLC. “They are looking for SOA governance best practices for design-time, run-time, and change / version management, and want hands-on experience with SOA governance methods, tools, and frameworks before you commit to a SOA endeavor. However, existing SOA Governance training is provided by software vendors and consulting firms that have ulterior motives for providing training. Enterprises are you looking for a third-party, vendor-neutral credential to provide training and endorse their SOA governance knowledge.”
The courses address a significant and urgent need from enterprise architects and IT practitioners to achieve SOA success by governing the design, operation, running, and versioning of their SOA implementations. In ZapThink’s two-day workshop, attendees will learn in-depth, practical SOA governance methodologies, techniques, and approaches in ways that are not specific to the particular technology du-jour or an individual vendor implementation. The SOA Governance training and certification course is led by skilled instructors who not only have architectural and governance expertise, but also know-how in how to apply SOA governance technologies and frameworks into practice. For attendees that already have an LZA credential, this course adds a SOA Governance endorsement that will further add to their knowledge and capabilities. The SOA governance course fills the unmet need for both SOA governance training as well as certification.
Details of the upcoming
SOA Governance Training and Certification workshop in London:
Cost for attendance is just $995 at early discount rates and includes all training materials and certification costs. For more information and to register for the upcoming SOA Governance training and certification event in London, visit http://www.regonline.com/soagovlondon09.

BALTIMORE, MD July 22, 2009 — ZapThink today announces the opening of registration for its four-day Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA) Boot Camp, providing in-depth, hands-on training and certification on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and taught by notable SOA expert Jason Bloomberg. The

“Companies are tired of all the hype surrounding Web Services and SOAs, and are finding it difficult to learn what they really need to know from vendor-centric conferences and training,” said Ronald Schmelzer, senior analyst with ZapThink, LLC. “IT professionals want to learn from their peers about what it really takes to put together a well-designed SOA, and desire third-party credentials to assert their SOA knowledge. The Licensed ZapThink Analyst boot camps give Enterprise Architecture practitioners the SOA education and credentials they’ve been waiting for.”
In this
four-day SOA training course, attendees will get hands-on experience and expertise in how to implement the latest SOA best practices and methods. Learn about Service modeling, Service domains, SOA infrastructure planning, SOA testing, SOA Quality, Governance, and Management, developing a SOA Roadmap, SOA ROI and Business Planning, SOA Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and metrics, SOA security and performance optimization, SOA policy management, Composite Services and Business Process, Service-Oriented Business Applications (SOBA), and Mashups. Hear about notable SOA security case studies and get hands-on guidance in making SOA work. And, once you complete this course you will become a credentialed Licensed ZapThink Architect.
