If you are going to Gartner's AADI Summit next week, make a point of attending the User Panel: Best Practices in Advanced SOA for the Enterprise, on Wednesday, June 13 at 11:00 am. This high talent practitioner panel was put together by the SOA Consortium. I've had the pleasure of interacting with each panelist, Nida Davis, CTO, American Red Cross, Surekha Durvasula, EA Manager, Kohl's and Yoav Intrator, CTO, Deutsche Bank Asset Management. Each is experienced in SOA, enterprise architecture, and delivering value to the business.
If you are attending the co-located EA Summit, you should catch Nida's case study session with one of her former business clients at the Federal Reserve. And while I'm recommending practitioners I enjoy speaking with, go see John Turato's case study session on SOA and the Legacy.
Normally, this is where I tell you to contact me if you'll be at the event. However, I'll be in Cumberland MD, representing the SOA Consortium at ArchitectureGov. I'll be hosting a roundtable discussion on SOA, enterprise architecture and business architecture. So, if you'll be there, drop me note: bmichelson at elementallinks dot com.
