Taming SOA's 'Wild West'

By Joe McKendrick on April 25, 2008 3:17 PM 0 0 Vote 0 Votes

Does your SOA initiative remind you more of the gunslinging, saloon-brawling days of the Wild West than of the intrepid pioneers?

Don't feel bad -- most companies are still struggling to tame their Wild West SOA frontiers. The right approaches and solutions can help keep rogue services at bay, while delivering greater value from reusable assets.

I will be joining Christian Hastedt Marckwardt, solution marketing director with SAP, on Tuesday, April 29, at Noon Eastern Time in a special Webinar to discuss the results of a new ebizQ-SAP survey on SOA governance trends and practices.

The survey explored the depth of SOA and SOA governance at organizations. Be sure to join us for a compelling hour, as well as receive a complimentary copy of the complete survey results!
