Dear Architects,
Please join us for RAF07, the Microsoft Regional Architect Forum Southeast Asia, which will be held on May 16th, 2007, in Singapore.
RAF is Microsoft's premier gathering of strategic architects and other key influencers from enterprises around South East Asia. The Regional Architect Forum SEA promises to be an invigorating and lively event, with key technology leaders from Microsoft sharing their vision with you and listening closely to your business needs and business vision.
The theme for SEA RAF07 is Software + Services.
Services are everywhere. Global business collaboration is driving organizations of all sorts - from manufacturers to logistics providers to telecoms to governments - to become business service providers. Business applications - the software that integrates these services into manageable processes - are sourcing business services from an increasingly heterogeneous network of providers. To embrace the Software + Services model, we must understand how to both provide and consume business services. What do business applications that consume external services look like, and what do they need from their service providers? How can an organization become a trustworthy business service provider? How do we manage and govern a service portfolio that extends beyond the boundaries of the organization? How will S+S foster people-driven productivity, and what new metaphors are emerging to make the power of S+S available to everyone?
Join us at RAF07 to explore this new direction both for technology architecture and for the collaboration between organizations around the globe. This event showcases key learnings from industry specialists brought to you by Microsoft Corporation.
Service Oriented Architecture, Enterprise Service Bus, Software as a Service.'85 it is hard these days to find an Architecture concept that is not about services. Whether you are interested in decomposing your business in services, gaining agility via services or reaching new opportunities by aggregating services, this track will explore Services from many angles through many lenses, all accruing to this year's theme of Software + Services.

We look forward to seeing you at the event!
