Below is the official event description:
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is at the centre of a new generation computing platform positioned to revolutionize the way we build, govern, and evolve automation solutions. SOA introduces new concepts, technology, and a new approach to building solution logic as highly composable and reusable IT assets in the form of services. The successful adoption of SOA can significantly benefit organizations by increasing business agility, open connectivity and interoperability, while allowing for the managed creation of an enterprise service portfolio.
Join Thomas Erl, an internationally recognized SOA expert and the world’s top-selling SOA author, for this extraordinary two-day exploration of SOA and the service-oriented computing platform. Thomas will explain the benefits and challenges of adopting SOA and share numerous insights, recommendations and best practices for planning and carrying out SOA projects.
The year 2006 marks a milestone in the evolution of SOA as a number of technology advancements are transpiring, carrying forward into 2007 an increasingly mature platform through which enterprise-level SOA solutions can be realized. The benefit potential of SOA is deemed so high that its successful adoption is expected to create a new breed of “agile organization”.
This seminar is intended for architects, business analysts and IT decision makers interested in better understanding the current and upcoming SOA landscape.

• The SOA Vision and Common Transition Motivators
