PLENARY: Architecting Government Services & SOA

Service Orientation is now firmly established as the leading style of Enterprise Architecture, delivering multiple benefits across the enterprise. Many government departments have now deployed SOA in pilot projects or on a small scale, and are now looking to extend it across the whole organization. It has emerged as a viable way to help organizations meet their business goals and provide IT agility, an agility that is in itself fundamental to success in the modern enterprise. These sessions will look at the migration to and deployment of SOA within government organizations.
