SOA governance seminar coming to a town near you
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2925172/6276287
[Michael Meehan]
For the past two years, we at SearchSOA.com have been told regularly
by our members (numbering 450,000+ these days), that you need help
with governance. Apparently the mechanics of running an SOA is one of
the biggest challenges users face.
That's no surprise, the reuse, performance, management and ownership
aspects of SOA are, literally, a sea change for a lot of IT
organizations. This is business as unusual.
With that in mind, we've put together our Pragmatic SOA Governance
Seminar, a free one-day event which covers the design time, runtime
and business aspects of SOA governance. The material is geared toward
key decisions makers in your IT organization - CTOs, enterprise
architects and app dev managers. The seminar will go beyond theory
and focus on actionable steps you can take to achieve SOA governance
right now.
The dates and locations of the seminars are:
February 21, San Jose, CA
February 26, Reston, VA
February 28, Mt. Laurel, NJ
Those interested in attending need to submit a registration form or
call Lauren Nickerson at 781-657-1782.
One of the leading lights in the SOA community, Anne Thomas Manes,
vice president and research director at Burton Group, will be
presenting the main sessions. In addition there will be a user case
study presented in each of the three cities: Transunion in San Jose,
the Department of the Interior in Reston and Synovus Financial in Mt.
Laurel. Each of these users has gone through the hard work of
implementing an enterprise-wide SOA and will share their hands-on
experiences about best and worst practices when it comes to SOA
governance.
We've taken pains to make sure this seminar won't be the standard
boilerplate presentation of SOA governance with some vendors then
saying all you need to do is buy Product X and your governance needs
will be solved. These events will identify specific governance pain
points and offer up sensible solutions. At SearchSOA.com we hold
ourselves to a high standard. Just as we take pains to give you
independent, in-depth of SOA-related news (instead of repackaged
press releases), we've made sure that you can walk away from this
seminar with a laundry list of SOA governance action items.
