SOA in Action Virtual Conference October 30 & 31, 2007
Conference Mission
SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) has the potential to fundamentally change the way IT plans, builds and manages systems. SOA makes it easier to change and reconfigure IT systems, leverage and repurpose existing IT investments, and enable systems to be more closely aligned with the business processes of the organization. The goal of SOA is to enable companies to become more agile at adapting to market opportunities and changes, and achieve competitive advantage as a result.
SOA success requires new kinds of skills, roles, people, organizational structures and methodologies. It fundamentally changes the way IT operates. To successfully reap the rewards of SOA, companies need to quickly move beyond the hype, and understand what it takes to plan, build and manage SOA solutions in their enterprise. The goal of the SOA in Action: Plan It, Build It, Manage It Virtual Conference is to provide organizations with real-world actionable advice and best practices in implementing their SOA solutions.
Event Overview
The two-day live event will feature leading industry experts as well as companies that have successfully implemented SOA solutions. It will help attendees understand the benefits SOA offers to the organization, as well as best practices for planning, implementing and managing SOA. The live event will include webinars with live Q&A;, interactive booths where attendees can chat with vendors and other visitors, podcasts, and a partner resource center. The conference will also feature a contest for best SOA implementation. Conference session topics include SOA success stories, SOA and BPM, SOA and EDA, business driven service design, SOA governance, SOA security, and open source SOA. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with analysts, experts, other attendees, and vendors and gain valuable know how for moving forward with their SOA initiatives.
The SOA in Action Resource Center will be available both before and after the event. The SOA Resource Center includes articles, blogs, podcasts, Webinars, white papers, product reports, and polls on planning, building and managing SOA solutions. Since the first SOA in Action conference last November ebizQ has forged many more partnerships with analyst firms and authors. The resource center will feature interviews with these experts. After the live event, the SOA Resource Center will continue to provide ongoing information and resources on SOA. The SOA in Action Resource Center is designed to become a leading destination for industry leaders looking for answers to their SOA questions.
