Day 2: SOAWorld 2008/ Virtualization Conference - Introductory Keynote:
David Linthicum
SOA by the Numbers
While everyone wants to do SOA right the first time, the typical results are not always stellar. Indeed, the pitfalls of building any complex architecture, including SOA, are something that the SOA practitioners must contend with, and most are ill-equipped. However, it?s possible to always be successful when implementing SOA if you just learn the facts that it?s hard, time-consuming, and requires a sane approach. In this keynote presentation we?ll take the mystery out of SOA requirements, design, and implementation, not just by providing hype-driven concepts, but a step-by-step approach for building an SOA that works each and every time, no matter how complex or simplistic the problem domain, business issues, or technology solution. This keynote is a must attend for those looking to get SOA right the first time.
