Track 1
The Business and the Governance of SOA
Nowadays and more than ever, embarking on an SOA initiative requires careful evaluation of business benefits, prudent
planning and staffing and the appropriate level of governance. Discover how to frame SOA to hit business value in the
context of a broader application strategy, how to coordinate SOA with Enterprise Architecture, how to align business and
IT, how to tackle the relevant organizational and governance challenges and how to derive value for the most advanced
architectural approaches such as events processing, BPM and multienterprise B2B.

Application Integration and SOA Technology
At the core of SOA and other modern SOA-derived approaches like BPM lies application integration enabled by a
variety of middleware technologies framed in an “SOA Backplane”. Proper selection and implementation of application
infrastructure technologies is critical for the success of integration-enabled SOA initiatives. Learn how to leverage
application integration for SOA and BPM, how to effectively evaluate, select and implement the components of the
enabling application infrastructure and what are the most appropriate development methodologies and tools.
