Today (Thurs 20th September) and tomorrow I'm chairing the 3rd Annual Brightstar SOA and Web Services conference. It's also my third year of chairing it. The overview from Brightstar's Website:
SOA is now proving to be an effective strategy for dealing with enterprise software complexity in many organisations. The SOA journey has not been an easy task for many, but companies who have got it right are reaping the benefits, such as re-usable services and closer alignment of IT and business process.
So, what does it take to enable service oriented architecture into your organisation? Where can you find out more about SOA and meet people with real-life experience and expertise?
Brightstar Conferences is pleased to announce our 3rd Annual Service Oriented Architecture & Web Services Conference, the number one SOA event in New Zealand. This year's event will build upon the last two by shifting the focus on where SOA is at – internationally and in New Zealand, explore key case studies and experiences with SOA, and cover crucial issues and challenges as faced by the key players.
It's all about thought leadership, and about what we can learn from the practical experiences of those who have had success with SOA. The journey of SOA is a challenging one, and we explore the crucial challenges along the way and ways to overcome these to enable service oriented architecture in your organisation.
