The industry is now past the "SOA is dead" scare that some had fun with at the beginning of 2009, but that doesn't mean that you're out of the woods. There was a reason that the industry was ripe for such a scare: Too many people misunderstood SOA and defined it in terms of technologies and products, distracting attention from SOA's real power for business design. Although SOA itself is far from dead, your SOA initiative might die if you don't learn how to do SOA for business. Forrester will cover the worst mistakes that can derail SOA and provide the most important SOA strategy, design, and governance best practices.
Attend this session and learn:

• How the broad market messages about SOA are misleading
• How the most successful adopters view SOA
• How the right sort of SOA governance can keep your SOA initiative on track
