Open source and service oriented architecture have met the mainstream, but like many aspects of technology each has its own risk factors. Moreover, a growing number of SOA projects integrally leverage open source technology -- so much that it has become largely impractical to invest in SOA without a comprehensive open source strategy as well. Successfully managing these challenges, both large and small, is the key to maximizing potential rewards from open source and SOA investments.
In this webinar we take a sneak peek at a number of topics covered in Gartner's upcoming 2007 Open Source Software Summit. We will address both technical and business trends as the open source model matures and plays a key role in successful SOA strategies. In addition we take an early look at Gartner's OSS Maturity Index that will provide a comprehensive framework for evaluating a wide range of open source software opportunities for mainstream IT organizations.

I love the ability to work with IT organizations and technology providers to spot major trends in IT as they emerge. Most importantly, I enjoy working with clients to help them effectively exploit these technologies for real-world business benefits. Balancing on the razor's edge between a technologyÍs theoretical potential and its pragmatic reality is the most challenging aspect of my job.

However, there's still some debate on exactly what this technology entails, how it applies to today's business models, and which components bring true value. Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform.
