The Business Value of SOA
Jun. 6, 2006 02:00 PM
This session will answer the question: How can I use SOA to make my business more agile, efficient, responsive, and profitable? It will cut through the hype surrounding Service Oriented Architecture and explain what it means for the business. It will present a framework and roadmap for adopting an SOA and show how it can be used to help align the activities of IT organizations more closely to business goals (and thus justify SOA projects with a clear ROI). It will tie together integration and infrastructure issues with a strategic look at SOA.
