SOA in Business

26-27 February 2009, London

If you succeed with the deployment of a successful SOA you have created the best opportunity for the future of your business. This seminar will take you through how you master the journey from the business to the solution. The result will be a number of services which will support the activities in your critical business processes. We teach you a practical and proven architectural process based on your enterprise architecture in order to create a SOA plan with business benefits both in the short and the long term.

Spread the knowledge of how SOA is implemented based on business requirements
Optimize the number of services
Make sure that information is captured in only ONE service and then reused

MEDIA ADVISORY: Forrester's Enterprise Architecture Forum

2009, February 10-11, 2009, in Miami

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec 17, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Forrester Research, Inc.

Enterprise Architecture Forum 2009: Elevating Architecture,  
        Enterprise Architecture professionals are in a unique position to
        drive the technology strategy that supports rapidly changing 
        business goals, moving closer to the business due to waves of
        service-oriented architecture and business process management
        adoption. Business processes, business services, business events,
        and the information that they generate and consume are now in
        scope, driving architects to broaden their skill sets -- and their
        networks. Meanwhile, the technology is more important than ever as
        the most advanced organizations make quantum leaps in agility with
        technology-enabled innovations.

        What must Enterprise Architecture professionals do to elevate
        their architecture practice out of the technology trenches to
        enable new business capabilities? And what technology will they
        need to ensure that the architecture they're planning will elevate
        their business' capabilities to the next level of productivity and
        innovation? At Forrester's Enterprise Architecture Forum 2009, 
        attendees will learn how their EA program can build their digital 
        business with the technologies and architecture practices that 
        drive innovation and create business value.
