NYC Keynote - 15th International SOA World Conference & Expo

Convergence in the Cloud: How Cloud Computing and SOA Produce Real Change Cloud computing is a rising star in the current enterprise IT landscape. Characteristics of the cloud such as dynamic provisioning of resources, self-service capabilities, and pay-for-use billing are catching the eye of many enterprises across the globe. The flexible, agile cloud environment bears similar characteristics to the environments offered by SOA. In fact, cloud computing and SOA share a unique relationship that will help to pave the way for both the creation and adoption of cloud solutions.
