Business Transformation in Action

ebizQ colleague Brenda Michelsen has done a stellar job of live-blogging on last week's Cloud Computing Conference in New York.

Here are Brenda's highlights of sessions and keynotes:

• Enterprise architecture and cloud computing
• More on enterprise architecture and cloud computing
• Building a cloud computing business case
• Legal implications of cloud computing and virtualization
• Insights from the SOA-cloud convergence master: Dave Linthicum
• Insights from Werner Vogels, Amazon Web Services
• How CIOs Can Benefit from cloud computing
• Real-world cloud computing experiences from IBM

We're seeing more convergence between service oriented architecture and cloud computing. SOA clearly has an important role to play in underpinning cloud efforts to enable service delivery and integration, and extending services to the cloud is the future of SOA.
