Many companies are becoming fully aware of the impact of and the opportunities offered by becoming more service centric and by leveraging a service oriented architecture. Your company is probably embarking on a reuse strategy or a process improvement strategy or both! While a few of these projects will be successful, most will not due to the lack of a solid governance strategy (one that's led by the Business!) and due to the lack of proper technologies to enforce those governance polices and processes.

In this webcast you will learn:
  • How to quickly organize for SOA Governance. (Hint... you need a high level business sponsor!)
  • How to pick the right governance technologies for your project and company. (Hint... don't throw away that spreadsheet just yet!)
  • Why both smaller vendors and larger platform providers BOTH dominate the market. (Hint... best of breed still makes sense)
