Description:

Sparked by a tinderbox of economic jitters and technology backlash, a recent thread of industry discussion cries out, "SOA is dead!" Although many have had fun with the discussion, it is in fact quite misguided. No prior industry initiative for IT architecture has an impact as positive and broad reaching as service-oriented architecture (SOA). But SOA's impact is only part of the story; there are many more technology initiatives besides SOA. You need a bigger architectural vision that encompasses SOA, business process management, event processing, Web 2.0, and much more. Although SOA is far from dead, it should be buried inside a larger vision. This session provides the real story on SOA penetration and describes the broader possibilities for business optimization that SOA enables.

Agenda:

• SOA is far from dead.
• Why does SOA get bad press? The keys to doing SOA correctly
• SOA provides a foundation for many other technology initiatives.
• Bury SOA inside a larger architectural vision.
