 Presentation
SOA Implementation
Roadmap
Workshop, presented by Ron Schmelzer and Jason Bloomberg of Zapthink
Enterprises today are struggling with the best way to implement
IT infrastructures that enable business agility. Service-oriented
architecture based on Web Services provides cost-effective
approaches to achieving companies’ agility goals. This
session provides companies of all sizes and industries an
approach to implementing Service-oriented architecture in
a way that provides return-on-investment (ROI) at each step
along the path toward an agile IT infrastructure.
We will discuss the steps and phases by which these companies
can move from today’s brittle infrastructures to loosely-coupled,
coarse-grained, asynchronous SOA. The session covers concepts
in point-to-point Web Services implementations for integration,
securing, managing, and adding process layers to these services,
implementing metadata registries and management for loose
coupling and governance, and moving to asynchronous invocations
for greater reliability. We’ll provide the big picture
for SOA adoption as well as the details on how to actually
go about implementing SOA in a logical progression of steps,
each resulting in significant ROI.
Session attendees will learn:
- The different value propositions for SOA, and how to
communicate them within an organization
- When a simple Web Services project is sufficient, and
when it’s not
- How to phase an SOA project so that each phase has a
positive ROI
- How to plan an SOA governance framework
- How to identify problems that are appropriate for Service-oriented
solutions
