Keynote: Extending Your SOA Foundation into an Effective Business Architecture
Speaker: Randy Heffner
SOA provides a critical, evolutionary foundation for the future of your business--but it is only a foundation. Other design patterns and technologies are necessary for user interfaces, processes, data, events, and other aspects of business design.
Although it took a few years, the industry has, by and large, come to understand that successful SOA strategies treat SOA as a business design concept. With your core business transactions and queries embodied in SOA business services, you are ready to connect your business anytime, anywhere, to any process, partner, customer, or employee as needed.
In this session, Randy Heffner of Forrester Research explains how a well-designed Business Capability Architecture based on your SOA foundation can help ensure successful, ongoing alignment of priorities for improving business results and the technologies your business needs to achieve those results.
