With many organizations just beginning their SOA journey, SOA governance is not often top of the agenda, but it could nevertheless make the difference between failure and success. Some organizations struggle through on their own, ignoring established best practices in many areas of SOA governance that could jump-start the effort. In this keynote, Forrester Senior Analyst Larry Fulton will take a look at key SOA governance topics, touch on the current state of the art, and offer a glimpse of what practices and products are likely to emerge in the future.

What you will learn:
  • How does an effective SOA Governance program enable effective SOA?
  • What best practices are well established today?
  • What are the near- and longer-term frontiers in SOA Governance?
  • Where should you focus your SOA governance investments today and in the future?
