Addressing System Connectivity Successfully in the age of SOA
My colleague, Jim Bowyer, is conducting a webcast, October 19th 2PM EST on the topic of connecting your distributed systems.
Monday, October 19, 2009 – 2PM EST
Register now for the webcast
I have worked with Jim on many engagements over the past few years in his role as Software Architect for Integration & SOA. His knowledge and advice on the subject will be hugely valuable for all those considering, planning or working on integration projects.
I had the opportunity to do a peer review on his content and I think you will find that his presentation will provide you some hard-learned, real advice:
- What we have learned from experience (what is the challenge here?)
- The recipes for success – what works, what doesn't (road mapping, partitioning, connectivity)
- A set of reference materials for you to leverage.
Jim will also touch on how the topics of Capability Modeling and Simple Iterative Partitions can play a role in your success.
Here is the official abstract:
A better way to connect your distributed systems.
In theory, connecting your distributed systems makes perfect sense. It’s a simple way to increase efficiency and help reduce costs. But in reality, figuring out which approach makes the most sense for your environment is anything but simple.
“Addressing System Connectivity in the Age of SOA” is a quick and easy way for you to learn more about successful approaches to managing system connectivity and associated issues. We will present a range of connectivity and integration choices provided by the Microsoft-based platform, while also sharing insights Microsoft’s Technical Specialists have gained through connected systems assessments of successful customers.
This webcast will provide you with a valuable opportunity to learn more about the role of Microsoft BizTalk® Server in a service-oriented architecture (SOA), and provide you with an overview of the Microsoft Application Platform, which includes the .NET Framework, the Managed Services Engine (MSE), Azure .Net Services and the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Toolkit.
Jim’s alternative title to the webcast, How to avoid being shot by your own Enterprise Silver Bullet! seems apropos given his time in the Military . I highly recommend attending…
