Using SOA Now – Upcoming Talk

This coming Wednesday I’ll be co-hosting a webinar put on by MuleSource, entitled “Building a Recession-Proof SOA Strategy”. The talk will go over the idea of using a leaned-up approach to SOA to help build the type of enterprise architecture needed to get through tight spending times. The idea here is that controls, governance, and the reporting capabilities that those two enable can help IT departments survive in tight spending times as we have now.

Put another way, here’s the longer synopsis:

With the arrival of an economic downturn, and with the looming prospect of tight budgets in 2009, IT managers are all taking a hard look at their project portfolios to separate the “need-to-have” from the “nice-to-have.” How does your SOA plan fit into all of this? Does it make sense to pursue SOA in this environment? Join RedMonk Industry Analyst Michael Cote and open source software provider, MuleSource for a 60-minute webinar. In this webinar, Michael Cote will build a case for why leveraging the benefits of SOA is all the more crucial in a tight budget environment. During this time, Michael will also explain how to leverage techniques such as open source software, pragmatic architectural choices, and proper governance techniques to maximize ROI and minimize risk.
