ARC311 Building the Next Generation ESB on the Microsoft Platform
Day/Time: Wednesday, June 14 8:30 AM - 9:45 AM Room: 257 AB
Speaker(s): Lukas Cudrigh, Dylan Lewis, Brian Loesgen
Many organizations are considering an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) as a way to improve IT efficiencies and simplify integration efforts. However, there is significant confusion surrounding just what an ESB is. In this session, we discuss how Microsoft has partnered with America's leading integrated health care organization Kaiser Permanente to implement an ESB on the Microsoft platform. We also examine the architecture and design behind this real-world project and discuss how the ESB provides a scalable technology infrastructure for Kaiser Permanente's large-scale SOA implementation.
