2-Day Seminar

SOA in Business

Overview
SOA (Service oriented architecture) has been initiated by some of the worlds leading IT actors. Experience shows that a successful solution must be based on the needs and requirements of the business and not be driven by IT systems. If you succeed with the deployment of a successful SOA you have created the best opportunity for the future of your business. SOA will mean flexibility for the business and enable cooperation with external partners on a completely new level. But at the same time the risks for failure have never been bigger if you do not get it right from the beginning.

During this course we will take you through HOW you master the journey from the business to the solution. The result will be a number of services which will support the activities in your critical business processes. We teach you a practical and proven architectural process based on your enterprise architecture in order to create a SOA plan with business benefits both in the short and the long term.
